Right?? Was not expecting it tbh. I'm hoping to ride her like once a week to start off and eventually work up to two days. I won't ride her unless someone else is there for the time being. Safety first and all that.

I also told the farm hands they can take her out on trail rides if they want. She needs worked with in different ways and conditioned to get more muscle. I wanna take her on trail eventually too, so better riders than me taking her out would be good practice for her. She'd also get used to different saddles which is good training too

Yes, "Whoa!" was probably one of those cues

I pick them out every time I'm there if they have mud and dirt in them.

Bro what the hell? Horses are allowed to roll after they've been washed. Is your only goal when bathing your animals to make them look pretty to humans? What is the thought process here? You can also wash their feet if they appreciate that, and some of them do. But their feet aren't for fashion shows for shallow people. We care for them because we love them
