I think she has a lovely approach to riding with plenty of humility and humor thrown in too. She keeps a great diary about her horses, but I love the one dedicated to her horse Little Tiger. The banner photos are always hilarious of her falling or things going awry with Tiger's commentary on how Phoebe messed up! She's great!

The only reason I say that is that some of the napping/bucking in place etc. was EXACTLY what my Tucker was doing to me--especially at shows. That attitude changed almost completely after a course of Ulcergard. He's still not an angel, but what a difference!!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-65221113436998223982011-04-17T18:18:37.187-04:002011-04-17T18:18:37.187-04:00I watched some of their other videos - Little Tige...I watched some of their other videos - Little Tiger sure lives up to her name, eeegad!

Someone who has truly worked her way up from the bottom levels, whose idea of "shoestring budget" isn't "only $250,000 a year," and who obviously still rides plenty of imperfect horses.

I've seen a handful of horses pull a move like that (not usually that high in the air!) and it's just so odd that it cracks me up every time.Now Thats A Trot!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04520915591652905807noreply@blogger.com
