Bit of trivia for every one the horse being ridden by the young girl in the orange shirt was the horse that taught Brandon Walters "Nullah" from the movie Australia how to ride.
how cool now this horse is teaching young layla to ride, what a great Horse teaching Kids.

Wow! That pretty cool Kel. Thats the type of horse I'd like for my little daughter (as her next pony). Trouble is, no one ever wants to part with the good ones!

Kel I almost get goosebumps seeing that pic.......my OH hasn't stop raving about the possibility of going to your BB clinic.....tell me, do you have a quiet horse that can carry a fat old lady?.....cause OH is telling me he would love to see me smiling on a horse again (gawd luv him).....ahahahahah I tell him horses are not meant to carry fat old ladies......lolol There meant to carry lithe sprite things that have very little padding!!

I think there would be a few posters who could benefit from your professional horsemanship clinics even people from interstate.....

EVP, I'll let you in on a secret.....and I'm speaking from experience here.....just choose a horse with a bigger bum than yourself. I have a quarterhorse for that same reason! If thats not enough you could also go for a saddle in a size or two bigger than you need, that way you look smaller (just joking, we all know the saddle should be the correct fit). Dont hold back, do the clinic if thats what you want....lifes too short to miss out!

Ah Ziggy.....lolol.....I doubt their IS a qh with a bum bigger than mine!!! Because of health issues I haven't ridden for about 7 years....its something I miss terribly even though I only did the odd trail ride and riding around the farm.......I paid for it later as I ached in places I didn't know I had.....lol But the thrill of a ride was really almost worth it. I envy anyone who CAN ride.

Riding is movement for the soul!

No your not! I did it to my daughter & wouldn't hesitate to do it again, she hated it, but hey it worked!!!

Saltriver Great pics, thanks for sharing! I'm with YOU on the 'tail pulling' topic, we do it with all our young ones, it's a great way to guage there trust in us!
If only there were people like you over our way will to teach juinors true horsemanship! You'd be in hot demand that's for sure!
