>>>> Here are some old photos and not so old. The really old one is my sisters Linda and Susan - when Susan was a baby and Linda would have been about 9. Then our family ride re-enactment on my dad's 80th birthday in 1989 at Spruce Meadows.
Ok. That just makes me jealous. I would have loved to grow up with a riding family! Oh well, at least my married-life-family rides, so I can't complain TOO much I guess. >>>> You will notice that we are pulling on the reins to keep the horses in a line - quite difficult to do even at a walk and we weren't. Kudos to you for pointing that out. It's still impressive, even if everything isn't 100% perfect, and yes, it is hard to keep horses in synch. (It actually looks pretty darned good to me.) >>>> The hands free photo is from 1965 on a tour Linda across the US to major horse shows with a group of students and Hungarian mares and stallions. Hands-free and the horses are pretty much together in their jump. I'm impressed. I may not be the best drill rider, but at least I know when something is hard to coordinate. Just staying in sync isn't easy, but with no hands is really good. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
