A Wednesday Uplift

The APHA facebook page posted this today.  It's a 6-year old girl doing a short-stirrup reining pattern on a Paint... an extraordinary schoolmaster.  You'll see the horse calmly and quietly doing what it's told, but not without making the kid work for it. This is a horse who is comfortable with his job, and he might even really enjoy it.  You'll see a kid with a confident, solid seat, and quiet hands wearing a helmet.

I commend the parents/trainers/etc. for putting this team together.  Superb ambassadors for my favorite breed!

  1. Love it! She rides better than a lot of adults I've seen!

    I'm pretty sure that is about how long my legs look when I'm riding! lol
