Training Pippin

Daniel and I started training his pony Pippin to ride and it's been going supremely well.










Here's Pipp checking out the saddle.









Saddle on the back. No big deal.










Tying up the girth knot. Mine are the only boys I know that already know how to tie a tie without needing a lesson. Girth knot is same thing as a tie knot, so they've btdt..











Pippin seems to be thinking there's an overly large fly on his back.









Believe it or not, this is only the second time Daniel (or anyone for that matter) has been on Pippin's back. Does he get the coveted BPYA (Best Pony of the Year Award) or what?








A little pettin and scritch-scratchin' when all is said and done.








Doesn't look like Pippin is holding any grudges.








Another hard day's work done.....
