Finally!

With his teeth done, and his feet on their way to being somewhat normal, we finally rode Riley for the first time last night!

I lunged him first as he has been stuck in the isolation pen, and then got on him...all the while thinking "why was it I thought buying a horse based on a two year old video and gut feeling was such a good idea?". But..he was an absolute darling to ride! Took it easy on him as he hasn't worked much of late and is still in rough shape, but what a lovely horse he is to ride.

Amelia rode him for a bit as well, and she looks great on him and they seem to suite each other.

Now I need a lease rider for Kokanee though if anyone is interested!
