In this video we check in on Solana, who is now almost 4. She was started less than a year ago, then had 5 months off and now has been under saddle a few days a week for the past few months.
In this video visiting student, Justyna from Poland is playing with her. (I had been riding her, but I thought it would be good for to get used to other nice humans, too!).

In this video we will show you an on line exercise and then just a simple little walk, trot and canter in the arena.
This video is excellent for anyone who has just started their young horse
