If you are going to ride a stallion, perhaps half an hour after a new stallion has been brought onto the yard and stabled next to him is not the best time to do it. This was taken in a split second when he was calm Trying to calm him down. Obviously he was not going to stand still, so I was told I would have to vault on. I said I did not do vaulting on. Fortunatly someone was on hand to give me a running leg up. The next picture I was trying to find my stirrups, the leathers were set far too long. See lots of pictures of my time with this stunning horse here. Mekani does airs above the ground. When we put him back in his stable he showed a stunning Levade staying perfectly still right up on his back legs trying to look over the very high dividing wall. |
