Our first steps together

Had our very first ride and it went so well! She did great. I rode bareback at just a walk and with one rein so we would turn one direction and then i would flip the rope over her head and turn the other way. This way I am never pulling on both reins and making her claustrophobic, or ruining the cue for stop and back.

It was just a few steps and then stopping and and turning and a few steps the other way and turning until we could walk around casually for a bit. Then we were done. That's it for the day as far as riding goes. Then we played a bit on the ground again and called it a day. I don't want to overwhelm her.
