She, without hesitation deemed her horses UNSUITABLE to really enjoy the ride, so shes borrowing my Heljo's Kaiser for the day ! ( Hes turning 17 this year, and is our totally great gelding you can put anyone on, but still turns on enough to be one of our top show boys in every disapline. ) Catherine came over and rode Kaiser along with Ayla and I for a short trail ride and loved him. She was very impressed with his big strided walk and solid manners while doing the always scary street ride in the busy subdivision near by. She did put him through his paces, riding english here in my dressage area before we hit the streets, and Kaiser sure preformed well for her. I think that he recognised a " real " rider unlike when we let the teenagers here ride him. Anyway, Im off to do another S+R ride, along with Catherine, Ayla and Kaiser ! Later, Lisa
