Gilly can sidepass

Whoppee! It's January and I'm riding. Having the arena is awesome. It was anther warm day - mid 30s. After barn clean up and a new bale of hay, it was in the arena with Banjo. I picked up all four feet. But it took about an hour, I had to back him to kingdom come in order to get him to hold still.

After that major accomplishment, I brought Gilly in, slipped his bridle on and mounted him bareback from the mounting block on his far side. Coming around a corner we were going sideways. I hadn't asked for a sidepass or did I? The next round I did what I thought you should do to ask for a sidepass and I got it. Pretty cool.
