Day #3 Amazing accomplishment

Today Alastor had his first saddle experience. I was able to get him saddled with ease. He stayed calm and amazingly, didn't buck. I did some desensitizing exercises with the stirrups and moving the saddle on his back. He did not take too well to me trying to step in the stirrup. By the end of the session, I was able to step up in the saddle and step down without him moving. I did not swing a leg over today, but hopefully that will come tomorrow.
