It’s been a while since I last wrote. Life seems to have gotten in the way, but I’ve been continuing to work with Sam and last Thursday I finally got on him.

I was expecting disaster. I suited up with even my chest protector. Sam typically do really poorly his first time doing anything and then is perfect after. This time he really surprised me.

We went out with Galahad leading the way and while Sam seemed a little bit unsure, he was really fantastic. So much so that we even tried trotting a couple of times. We were only out for a total of half an hour, but I am absolutely over the moon about his progress.
