Bigtime! Based on the other thread about horses kicking downed riders, I bought a gigantic teddy bear on Amazon. I’ve been putting the teddy bear on her back and letting him fall off her and teaching her to stop and turn to face something that has fallen from her back. Bonus of general desensitizing.
While putting the teddy bear back up after a fall, she reached to the other side, grabbed him by the ear, and pulled him off all by herself. What a smart little stinker. She’s going to be mad when teddy gets strapped to the seat. 
Edit: note she is not allowed to TRY and get him off. He’s just a loose goosey drunk teddy bear and he slides off all on his own lol

I’ll do my best to remember to tripod it. My hands will be busy convincing her she’s alright and there’s no need to turn to violence lol

Without ado, we have buckled in drunk teddy. It was a non event, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Teddy was very drunk and floppy, which was perfect - the prep work paid off. I ended up tying his bowtie to the horn so he would sit up and avoid a DUI. (RUI?)
It has been hard to consistently work with the mud and early dark hours.

Teddy must have stayed up too late and had too much to drink

Hope Teddy wasn’t hungover, riding with a headache is no fun.

Poor Teddy doesn’t look like he feels good. And Grundy looks like, “Why is there a bear in the saddle?”

If she ever randomly snatches and disembowels a small child’s plush toy at some point in the future, you’ll know exactly why!
