I have been working with Cheryl Null's 21-year-old registered quarter horse mare, Ruby, for over a month now. Cheryl got Ruby a couple of weeks before I came to the ranch.
Ruby is used to my visits, grooming and leading now, and the weather is cooling down, so our ground work activities are increasing. Yesterday I lunged her for the first time.
Cheryl demonstrated her technique first, and then I took over. We are preparing her for riding lessons. She's been shown at halter and ridden, but not at Cheryl's Riverside Ranch.
