Preparing to Ride in the Heifer Pen

Here is a video showing me leading Mezza through the heifers before getting on her. Every chance I got I took her in the pen, we did some groundwork and walked through and around the heifers. Then she was relaxed when I got on and rode around them.

Watching at the Gymkhana

Took Mezza along with Boo, (Jennifer's horse) to the local gymkhana to watch the action. This is the second event she's trailered out to watch.

We worked both before trailering out (in the round pen) and again briefly at the gymkhana for a 'refocus'. She was very relaxed again, and I took her out to the middle of the equestrian field and walked her around while everyone was riding, then took her back to the arena to watch. No fuss, no muss. I was impressed.
