With apologies to those of you who also post on EMG (I'm just so impressed with my little horse, I have to share in both places!)

It's not nearly as impressive as the video of the hunter Burbury, but I'm delighted with my little horse's tolerance for my nonsense anyways. :)

It's blurry, but look at his pretty little knees! (http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs137.snc1/5860_127405961210_598196210_3448157_4594919_n.jpg)
The hardest part is knowing what to do with your hands. (http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs157.snc1/5860_127408771210_598196210_3448222_1367638_n.jpg)
Look at his face (http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs137.snc1/5860_127408796210_598196210_3448225_4055756_n.jpg) . He thinks I'm an idiot, but goes along with my silly ideas anyways.
See the bridle on the standard? (http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs137.snc1/5860_127408811210_598196210_3448226_2427409_n.jpg) A nathe snaffle, no noseband... Maybe that's why he didn't really think much of going without a bridle at all.

It's funny how easily he nails his distances when I don't have a bridle to pick at him with. Think there might be a lesson for me to learn there? ;)
