Nettles had his Western Saddle on today for the first time. After a little recap of short-reining I got on and rode him a very short way and he didn't seem to mind a bit. This pony has never put a foot wrong in all of his training and is a delight to have around the place - we even let little Jack, Charly's son have a sit on him at the end of the session. Nettles' only fault is that he loves eating other horses tails and so far Petra and Indiana have fallen victim to his attentions. I'm going to have to come up with some unsavoury tasting solution to coat their tails with which doesn't irritate the tail owner!
