In September Fenna was rode only a couple of times in the round pen. After a few times ground driving and lunging I thought Fenna was ready and today I rode her in the arena. She did very well eventhough she did not want to leave Ron. He was her safe spot and he had to get in the truck later, what helped a bit. She would still stop where the truck was parked though.
Still...for the first time in such a long time I was very happy with her progress today.
The bitless bridle works good on her. She does protest by shaking her head but I hope that will get better after a few rides.
Thank you for the tip. I know I have to be more persistant. :-)

Just a bit of advice....when you are asking her to turn left and she doesnt want to keep asking her for that direction until she gives it to you (dont allow her to turn the other direction until she goes the direction you asked for to start with otherwise she is being allowed to get away with it and every time she does it will make it that much harder to correct later....but otherwise good job with her
