I went up to Rebel, and tacked him up for Nikki. Nikki was still a little frightened of getting on, but she forced herself to be brave. Nikki led Rebel out to the arena, and I taught her how to tighten the girth, and measure her stirrups. Then, I showed her how to get on. Nikki, slowly got on. and walked around the arena a few times. When I felt like she was ready, I told her to go into a trot. "You need to squeeze and let him know to go faster!" I called. Nikki slowly but surely squeezed Rebel into a trot. Rebel(the slowest horse I have) trotted along, while Nikki bumped along on his back. Nikki and I worked on a posting trot a little, and didn't worry on the right lead yet, because we would have to firgure out something slow for her. She did well, but she still needed to work on posting. Nikki beamed, as we untacked. In a few days I'll buy you and Emma your own horses." I said
