After a couple of days off, Flamenco was once again saddled and bridled today, and put into the round yard to think about things for a while (about 20 minutes).
Then Tarni mounted her while I held her, and I led her around for about 20 minutes or so.... a much longer training session than previously. Flamenco resisted a little at first, but soon relaxed and by the end of the leading session I was not applying any pressure at all on her... she was basically just following me around.
Dismounting is still a little bit of a problem, as she doesn't seem to like the change of weight in the saddle as Tarni starts to dismount. So our next lesson will concentrate on mounting and dismounting.
