I rode her! After some groundwork (in which she got quite worked up as we were working on lunging, and kept skidding out on the side where Caspian/Deo were and hitting the halter and then stopping), Catherine held her and I got on! Catherine fed her treats almost constantly and so did I, and I got on and off several times throughout the ride, from both sides. Catherine quietly led me around on her. She was unbalanced at first, but soon got the idea. She really didn’t seem to care too much, only slightly concerned. She was very happy to be fed so much grain. :)
