I was determined to get back and try riding Regalo. He has had 6 rides with Jerilyn and he has been doing great on the ground. So lets try it.
Laura has to be the handler and gets the stirrup ready and hold him. I tried, but still need Sue to help me get my leg over. In the saddle, I can feel that I am not balanced and try to open my hips to get in the position so I feel secure. This is really hard to do now. I wiggle a little and this upsets Regalo and he starts moving out. Not fast, but quick. I can see how easy it would be to go off him. But will work harder on get the balance back and ride at least once or twice a week.
We did a few walks stops, circles, bigger circles, figure 8's and backing up. Once he was okay with me, he settled in and had his head down. I let go several times and he released as well. He is do different from Bailey.
He would stop with just the lettting go of my breath. He is so senstive. Can do much with the leg he goes right off.
Getting off was okay, he got upset with me keep taking him closer to the wall and he didn't know what I wanted. This will get better each time. He was light and easy to ride.
