Looking For A Trainer

 Ambleside is 2.25 years old now and its time for her to start learning new things


So today we had Nina come out to give us a lesson


We learned how to move forward without stepping into my bubble and I learned how to make her move.
It was $45 for about a one hour lesson, which is longer than I've ever worked with her before but a good price. 
I've got a few things I will be working on:
leading without walking into me
lunging, not a lot
changing directions
standing tied
Amble wearing a surcingle and a bit

I'll be purchasing a few things for her in the next couple weeks:
5.25" copper loose ring bit
Cob bridle

The bridle I have will fit her but I'd like her to have her own. 
Joey has his own and Wifi has we own.


I've done this all before with Joey & Wifi but had assistance, this is my first horse without help.



Ambleside weighs about 1600 IF my calculations are correct but it seems a little heavy.
