I get picked on constantly for riding Alpine…at 14.1hh
and about 800 pounds. And you know, he has NO problem carrying my 200+
self as far as I ask (providing I give him a properly fitting saddle). I
always laugh at them, cause when we are out on the trail, they get the banana
spiders in the face, and I duck right under them. And I am the one with
more horse at the end of the day.
Having said that, I had my first dressage lesson in 8 years
today. Oh My! I forgot how much they hurt after the fact. I
have GOT to get back in shape. And work on: 1. Not leaning
forward and 2. Not looking down. Sigh… However, I got
told my legs are good, and that my horse has a fantastic trot.
He’s a Paso Fino.
Hehe

Alpine (ugh… I haven’t had to work THAT hard in
awhile. I am beginning to think mom is serious about getting back into
shape)
Merlin (I watched the whole thing! Then I took a
nap. Dressage is hard work)
