Ya know I'm not necessarily a horse person but I've been seeing updates on sandy since I joined the fediverse and I'm a huge sandy fan.

I've ridden horses before.

I don't like horses.

I like Sandy. Thank you for sharing.

Yay! Do you know how long it's been since she's had a rider? What will you need to do to "prep" her?

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She hasn't been ridden in like 6-7 years.

To get her prepped, I'm gonna get her used to being tacked and do ground worked while tacked up. Once she's good with that, I have a couple of horse trainer buddies who are going to hop on her first just to get a feel for how much she remembers.

Thanks! Sounds like it'll take some work - exciting though!

Was expecting a photo of Sandy the Pony, a coin-operated ride at Meijer supermarkets.
