Breaking a fillly

Question
Can you help me with easy training methods of breaking  my new filly of one year old.  What do I do first and on and on.

Answer
Breaking a filly or colt takes time.  Load feed sacks with sawdust and place over the babies back and walk, trot and longe it with these balanced on both sides until it accepts them.
then place a saddle on its back, tighten the girth slowly, lead a bit then retighten and climb aboard.

Kind Regards
