Working the young horses at Stud XIX, Newbury

Cider bucking with the saddle below, and to the left you can see the warning signs in her tense stomach muscles.
Cider relaxed with the saddle now (left) and BB reacting quite violently to the sensation of the girth below.
BB relaxing with the saddle below, literally 13 seconds after the first picture, above. We also loose jumped her in tack to really help her loosen up her shoulders with the girth on and repeated the tacking up and moving off procedure serveral times. She may need to wear a roller over night to help her get used to the feel of the girth.
Charlie being a superstar and putting the girls to shame, you wouldn't know this is his first time longlining in tack! Also, first time leaning over, and then a little loose jump to celebrate (his favourite game!)
Cardinal is not ready for any tack yet, he is still skeptical about his sides being handled at all, so much desenstising and head lowering was enough for today.
