well, yesterday at the trail head while I was mounting Jaspar from a stepstool with a huge 12 inch block of wood on the top step so i could get my foot in the stirrup, a man I didnt even know called from the next parking slot "hey, how come you traded in your short horse?" I just looked at him like what the?? and he smiled and said "need a hand?" I said no thanks and he said "well, I got a short horse too, and I was wondering why you'd want a tall one" and I looked and he was mounting a real short horse, i doubt it was even 14hh. He rode with us a while and we chatted. I told him I was real glad jaspar is so well mannered cause sometimes when I hop down off him I fall forward and clutch onto him and he saves me haha.
