One of the challenges of this project has definitely been getting good quality photos and video given the short daylight hours and c-c-cold conditions, hostile to unmittened hands holding battery-operated cameras.

However, here is some footage of Dolly’s first trots under saddle. She had a few days off due to a sore leg (one of those unexplained equine mystery injuries), but she’s back to full soundness and is doing great.

In this video you can see (sort of…) how Megan had us set up Dolly for success and safety. I am riding Tank, the princess of sturdy lesson horses, as a demonstration horse. Selene, on Dolly, is right behind me.

Bonus mule video! Megan on Happy the Mule.
