One person would get to be the instructor (or the judge, if we were pretending to be at a show)and the rest would be rider/pony combos. <br />Sometimes we would pretend that our pony was bad, like refusing or bucking, so we would carry a cropFrizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-6269671381897920852010-12-07T10:58:47.888-05:002010-12-07T10:58:47.888-05:00Funny, I like how they jump better with less cloth...Funny, I like how they jump better with less clothes, lol!Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-82522341965343828352010-12-07T01:01:05.463-05:002010-12-07T01:01:05.463-05:00That is absolutely amazing!

When I saw them 'cantering' toward the jumps it reminded me of when I was a little kid and I'd set up saw horses, barrels and assorted obstacles and canter around playing show jumper. Also when I was 4, the rusty back springs of the rocking horse broke - it was stuck in "rear" so I put a steelpanavia999https://www.blogger.com/profile/12022750065016664499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-44993450189607440652010-12-06T21:05:35.538-05:002010-12-06T21:05:35.538-05:00That is awesome!

Their jumping ability is truly amazing. I can recall years ago when a ballet dancer performed a pas de deux with a horse and one of the big obstacles he had to overcome was the depth of the footing which made it twice as hard to jump. These guys make it look easy!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-48735377301798412582010-12-06T17:17:42.964-05:002010-12-06T17:17:42.964-05:00Hmmm, I wonder if we could convince them to come p...Hmmm, I wonder if we could convince them to come perform at our MN Horse Expo! this would be better than some trick cowboy.Marnie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241962543917686722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-23286167296834043182010-12-06T16:36:03.103-05:002010-12-06T16:36:03.103-05:00Wow... that got my heart pumping!
