Saddle Training

I spent way too much time contacting local horse trainers and waiting for them to reply, and only 1 did out of about a dozen. Last year 1 replied & she costs $1,600 per month, which is utterly ridiculous so that's when I contacted Teresa in Eastern Washington and agreed to have her train Amble to drive. Teresa is a pro, a true pro and so is her husband and I am totally happy with their training of my girl.
This year the cost of $1,100 is the same and they have agreed to take on Amble again but to teach her to ride. 
OR~ carry my fat ass around. LOL

On our Nevada trip in April-May I purchased this tack set for her, it was $350 for headset, reins, breast collar and cinch. And danged if it doesn't match the $900 saddle I had bought her in April and it was just luck that it was a match at all. 
I had to spend another $59 on a bit for her and I've NO CLUE if it will even work for her but Teresa and Will can tell me if its OK or not.




Here's Will driving her and she goes pretty danged well.


They're going to put a month of reminder in driving, then 2 months of riding.
They will also fit MY harness to her so it will always be fit just right.  
I need to take lessons myself in driving because I barely know how to do it.
