Belle's first real ride in a while

I had a trainer come out to school Belle in the arena for the first time since I moved here, and Belle did pretty well. She was nervous at first, probably mainly because she didn't know the rider and she tends to bond with specific people, but she settled down to work. She needs some work on not being heavy in the bit, not leaning into turns, and paying attention to her "brakes," but those are relatively easy to work on. I look forward to riding her myself, but for the time being I'll have the trainer school her while I school Kelton. I want Kelton for myself
