Very nice photo of you, Nile! I don't know much about riding horses...... did you participate in many competitions? Did you have a horse of your own? I guess, horses were you passion! Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi

Nileyears that is a great photo of you and your horse blurry or not. I love looking at old photos. I'm not sure how Kofla would have managed with a tripod and being on a horse at the same time...LOL!

Yeah, a tripod wouldn't work unless it was moving to keep up with the horse. Maybe someone should invent something like that, a motorized tripod that follows movement. For all I know, maybe someone already has.

Great to see a shot of you on horseback even if a little blurry Nile. Is that the horse that cleared a jump with impressive inches to clear (I think it you mentioned it was 16.5hh and a warm blood) ? Reading your response to myseek, your eight horses must have kept you busy. Coincidentally, yesterday I chatted with a local retired vetinarian, also an accomplished rider, about the centre where she helps out weekly (riding school for the disabled). She said most of the horses they use belong to locals who rent them out to the centre and are responsible for their delivery & pickup at day's end. I'm going along next week for a look/see. Her sister, a horsewoman also, runs a 3 day week program for people who have suffered trauma incl. kids from juvenile centres and uses horses to help teach them to gain trust and confidence in themselves. Marvellous project yielding results. Thanks also for taking the time to reply to my question about bracing yourself instinctively when rear ended (previous blog). I'm really glad you've got a chiropractor who can ease your neck pain when needed

If I still had lesson horses I would probably lease them out to one of those programs. Drifter isn't trust worthy enough, he's not for a beginner rider. I hope you have fun on your visit to the center, and please tell us all about it in a blog, oh, and take lots of pictures!!

NICE PHOTO. I HAD A MARE IN BERKELEY, USUALLY SWEET AS SHE COULD BE. BUT ONE DAY SHE GOT CRANKY AND TRIED TO RUB ME INTO A STONE WALL SO I THREW MYSELF OFF. HER REACTION WAS REALLY FUNNY, SHE LOOKED DOWNRIGHT SHOCKED AND NEVER TRIED ANY STUNTS AGAIN.

I don't know, you taught her a lesson somehow by jumping off, maybe she thought she hurt you and didn't want to do that again. Horses are sensitive creatures and smarter than people give them credit for. You must have had a real close bond with her. That's cool.

Giddy up there Niley, great photo of you. When we were young, my sister and I used to pretend our bikes were horses lol. Our favourite TV programmes back then were westerns, we were mad into cowboys.

Thanks Lilium. No, this was Smiley, that's what we called her because she had a weird name, so we shortened it to that. Tom Thumb was 17 hands tall. Let me explain the hands measurement. There is never a horse that is 16.5 hands because a hand is 4 inches. So what you call 16.5 would actually be 17.1 hands. Smiley wasn't that tall, she was 16.1 hands and that measurement is at a horse's withers which would make her a little over 5' 3". Add the neck and head and they are a lot taller. Smiley was just two inches taller than my horse Drifter. As far as having 8 horses and keeping busy, it really wasn't that bad. Part of the lessons included grooming before and after riding. Total hands on and the little kids would stretch the lessons out just to be next to the horses. It was great! I love those horse programs, they help so many people, young and old. If I still had lesson horses I would probably lease them out to one of those programs. Drifter isn't trust worthy enough, he's not for a beginner rider.
