Funny, my sister and I were talking about this the other day...she has a
young friend who is riding her 3 and 4 yo QH babies. He's maybe 32
and been on a horse since before he could walk and hasn't left behind his
imagination and adventure. She's been sending me pictures and tales of his
adventures on the girls and I'm amazed at the things he's come up with to do on
them or with them....like roping a bicycle out of a trash heap he discovered on
the trail one day...then hauling it up 12' high in a tree and oh yep, roping it
again (no, he's not standing on the ground to rope!!) dragging it out of the
tree and then bringing it along on the trail with them for a while!
Amazingly, my sister's 3 yo was steady as a rock through all that he's come up
with to do while out on trail and she isn't exactly a stump in the yard when
she's in the herd environment!
Suzi and Holly who's also being ridden by the child/man while I recover (or
not) from my hyssie.
Is it just me, or when your younger "things"
happen with your horse and it made it more exciting? And now those same
things happen and it makes you cringe, holding on for dear life! Exactly
what age is it, that you "crossover"? (I thought for sure it would
happen much later!!! is it a sign of getting old..ha
ha)?
