Love that picture!

Does that illustrate her regard for the rules?

Yes, at least some of the time.
She's a pistol. But very quick minded and "feely". She has tempered my own tendency to go in quick and hard with an ask, and to ask more subtly and soft at first. We are training each other for sure.

Remember slow and steady wins the race. Quick and hard turns to a rodeo, and unfortunately there’s no 8 second buzzer or pick up men handy!

Yep
That's why I've been taking my time, going slow. I've had her 20 months and am just about ready for our first ride.
The last few months I've been waiting on my saddle getting finished. Got it Sunday, now am just waiting on some good days.

Oh you betcha! I took about 400 yesterday . But I have to download and resize. Got my little student coming soon, so it will be this afternoon most likely.

She's my avatar.
Be careful what you ask for! I can be like a proud mama with a stack of photo albums.

As promised, saddle pictures. I will spare you and not show all 400. Unless you insist.

How it began... my bare tree. Wood and rawhide.

Getting the foundation started.

And a little more progress...
