🐴 THE FIRST SIT MATTERS🙏🥰
These beautiful young boys have been with me for around six months now.
In that time, we haven’t been rushing towards the day I could sit on them.
We’ve been building something much more important first…a relationship.
A relationship built on trust, communication and clear boundaries around safety with humans. They have learned that I will listen to them.
The day before their first sit was actually the first time they had ever experienced a saddle.🥰 (hence why I LOVE the super comfy fur saddles)
So when the day came to sit on them, there was no elaborate setup. No need to hold them in place. No force. No rushing.
Just me, alone with each of them, in just a halter, quietly asking:
“Are you ready?”
And both boys were relaxed.
Both were happy.
Both were comfortable enough to take some steps with me.
It wasn’t about how many steps I could get.
It wasn’t even really about riding.
It was about everything we had built before I ever sat in the saddle.🥰
Because a young horse’s first experience of carrying a human can teach them so much about what humans mean.
For me, the first sit is not the beginning of the education.
It is the continuation of everything that came before it.
Six months of relationship.
Six months of boundaries.
Six months of learning each other.
And then, when the time was right…
I simply became another part of their world.
And that is what I want young horses to learn from their very first experience under saddle:
Being with a human can feel safe.
And carrying a human can become something they willingly choose to do.
Because the goal isn’t simply to get on a horse.
The goal is to create a horse who trusts you enough to let you on and if any of these beautiful boys touches your heart please message me as one will be available for sale and would love to introduce them sooner rather than later to their person.🥰
