The next time I put Flamenco in the round yard, I asked Tarni (age 15) to help out. We worked on 'bouncing' up and down on both sides of the mare, and then Tarni put her foot in the stirrup on both sides and leant over Flamenco's back.
At this stage I then led Flamenco around for a few steps, before letting her go again.
She was a bit nervous with the weight on her back to begin with, but quickly settled, and ended the session in a relaxed frame.
