Bill, Last weekend some friends and I were watching some really boring western riding classes at a show that was inaugurating a new local indoor arena (I was pretty much there to scope out the new facility ;~)) Anyway, while watching some of the sloppy cow work, I told my friend Linda about some of the wonderful horsemanship I had seen in mounted bullfighting on videos & as a kid living in Mexico, in person. Well, she rolled her eyes at the bullfighting part when I told her, but then a couple of days ago she sent me this video. Its pretty much the same riding, but done on a trail course w/o a bull chasing them! So, to get your rider Margaret all psyched up for her Versatility Trail class, have her check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5895K-Xjupk&feature=related I love the fact that the horse isn't some wirey QH, he's a total "chunky-monkey" Lusitano. Shrink him down a bit and he could be a Fjord! Also, I bet that rider could have a new career riding in the Dollar Bill classes...his butt looks super-glued to his saddle. Good Luck @ Equine Affaire!
