My Jaspar bows, and I have been afraid to try that because when he bows he is apparently in a precarious way balance-wise. I found this out when I was bending low with the lead rope trying to get him to bow deeper and deeper until he sorta fell over and almost caught my head! Scared the heck outa me! I think their knees are so delicate and they weigh so much, when they get down like that it is only a fine line before they sorta fold and go down totally. I think if I were to try and mount him like that I would just put my weight across the saddle and see what happened. One time a sand pile collapsed on us and he could not get up until I rolled off him... and he is very big and strong! Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
