oh man you oughta try and do it around these rednecks here. I would be leading Teev to mount on a big ride and they would be grinnin oh looky she gor hersef a shetland pony. then I would drag out the mounting stool and oh my gosh it was like i was the comedy for the day. I always relished showing them up on the ride tho. Teev would get aggravated with me for the clumsy dismounts tho. But Trausti is like Jas, I can waller around up there half the day and he just stands and stands all braced so I can waller better. He figured out if he braces the wallering wont make him have to take a step for balance. Janice-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
