Winter Accomplishment!

My winter accomplishment has been met. When i bought Orion i was told I would never be able to ride him without a bit. That was majorly wrong! I rode him for most of the summer without a bit. Now, this winter, I have started riding Orion with just a bale twine wrapped around his nose. Today, I was able to ride him around the paddock at a walk and trot! It was great! we did rollbacks, turns, lateral flexing, all with only a string around his neck!
