Saturday Riders

Each day I have riders and I think that the lessons are going to be plain and ordinary. but I should realize that would not happen. Between the kids and the horses more interesting things happen. When I go get Cowboy and get him ready for the first rider, he practically puts the halter on himself. He sticks his nose down into halter and marches out to get the saddle on. He is so-o ready to work. But he can also try to get out of a lesson, he tries to stop early and get a drink of water.
But he is the one that I use whenever a new student rides. I use him because he shows me how the child/adult feels when riding. The student feels relaxed, he is relaxed. If they are nervous, he is very hesitant, careful and slow with his walk and movement. I am posting a short show to introduce him to you.
