After forcing the second gate open so she will fit, I lead Lizzy outside, once outside I put the saddle on her and secure it. She stands perfectly still and doesn't seem to mind the saddle at all. Having had some experience with horses in my past life I mount Lizzy fully prepared to be thrown.
To my surprise she doesn't even flinch when I mount, and with just a slight squeeze of my legs she sets off at a walk. Another slight squeeze speeds her up to a trot and already she is moving as fast as I can at a run. It only takes me a minute to adapt to her motion and start moving with her.
