Terry and Barb, co-chairs of the Stewiacke Branch of the Zaina fan club visited, and Terry brought bitless bridles to try. After reviewing her response to them in the stall we went with a stripped down Dr. Cook, as a sidepull.
Under saddle Z was happy. Backed straight for ten strides, first ever! Calmly into the trot. After a while she started pulling me along, so I need to work at using my body more to keep her off her forehand. Tells me I've still been depending on the bit for control and steering.
