i would start lungen her in a round yard at 18 months old with a roller on her. then break her into saddle when she is 2 for two weeks steady eddy no rushen into the saddle she will get used to the saddle with out bucken to much when to get on her back. but i would mouth her last and i would do it real early in the morning or late after noon cause even know the bit seem cold its bit warm during the day for first time mouthing.
