This is John's horse. I was able to ride him for the first time on Saturday. I made Carroll come with me to snap some pictures (I'll be signing myself up for riding lessons after this. I can't belive how bad my posture has gotten). He did fairly well. Just to throw some Walking Horse terms at you....he has a deep stride in his backend and I think I can get it better once we get him good and timed up. There, got that out of my system. We'll be shortening the shanks on his bit so nobody freak out. Yes, he is wearing half blinders in the second picture. He was acting a little crazy and I didn't feel like getting hurt (note the nerd helmet). Overall, I might keep him for myself. Just don't tell John.Famous Last Words: "Let's split up, we'll cover more ground."

Don't make it sound like you can't ride a horse. I was there. Scout's lucky to have such a seasoned professional riding him already. (he's also lucky to have someone around who will keep him from being a padded and sored walking horse!)
And all this time I thought it was called a "dork helmet." Silly me.

P.S. And are you sure those aren't eighth binders in the second picture? Sure look it to me.
Oh Carroll!! I finally have somebody else on my side. Rachael doesn't call me "mrs. PETA" for nothing!! And those 10" shanks MUST GO. But Scout really is beautiful. And 'nerd' helmets save your skull full of mush.
I want to see some pics of Hannah riding...
I'll have to snap some photos of Hannah when she rides Cole next. I think we'll get rained out tomorrow so maybe this weekend.
whos that lady in that first picture?
That's the trainer's wife.
Oh my word! Would you look at those shanks.... I didn't realize how bad it was until now.
Preach on Joy.... Preach on.
