First Ride

Here are some pictures leading up to Artista's fourth ride on Saturday afternoon.
ARD German Television Station was here again to do a follow up on his progress. Artista did great! His first few rides he was a little confused with steering aids, and would pull against the pressure instead of giving to it. Today he did much better and was turning circles nice and soft in the direction that I wanted him to go. Since the beginning he hasn't even offered to buck. He can squirt a little if you catch him by surprise, but even the squirts are becoming less frequent. I'll have video up as soon as it uploads (probably by tomorrow morning *fingers crossed*)
