First quick rides

Maria took the first ride on Jordan last night, which went very well.  She rode him bareback around the front pasture without incident.  I also hopped on for about 5 minutes.

This morning I worked him with full tack, lunging w-t-c, including a small jump.  In-hand we practiced yielding the front and back, and a few steps of shoulder in.  I rode him at the walk for 20 minutes, working on bending, backing, and a few steps of shoulder in.  Right side a little resistant.  Left side is beautiful!  No problem, will fix.
