Hit pause to read the text at the beginning and ending of this video. Ashley is now finally in the saddle where she is more used to training horses. She and Bella have now embarked on the next step of their lives together. Ashley learning more skills necessary to reach her dreams, and Bella learning that there is more to English riding than racing. Interpersonally, Bella is learning that Ashley is someone she can please, and that Ashley is a quiet, gentle, but firm boss mare in her own right. Ashley is learning to be more vocal in her praise as we have discovered Bella responds as if starved for verbal affirmation. She just soaks it up! This is video number two in their journey together.
