Lots of variables and work and owner permissions are going into it and if the trainer we are working with says she can’t be ridden at any point, that’s fine with me. Her comfort and happiness is the most important thing.
I’ve never been more motivated to get in shape before, though. I can’t push myself too hard because I have a lot of health issues and I definitely can’t push Sandy too hard either because she’s old. Gonna take things slow and careful and hope for the best end result.
Sandy seems the type if you give her snacks, she will allow you to join her on her occasional frolicks.
Every time I reach in my pocket she thinks I’m getting her a banana. If she’s stimulated enough, with exercise and attention, she’s perfectly behaved.
