Back in the round pen, we began with the drive lines again. Shonee has a beautiful & elevated trot. Then I moved him around some under saddle. We worked on flexion and I did some more jumping up & down beside him. I was thinking about taling the first ride. I stepped up in th saddle on each side while putting my knee across his rump. This went very well. I mounted Shonee from the left side, swung up onto the saddle, paused and dismounted- uneventfully. I casually walked around him to repeat this on the off-side. I stepped up, sat down in the saddle planning to dismount again. But, Shonee let me know he wasn't quite ready.
