She's always making fun of me because I keep saying how tall he is. He's only 15.1 but that's tall for me.
So she goes to get on his back and she groans. "He doesn't look that much taller than Gracie when they're in the paddock."
Ha!
She's 2 inches shorter than I am (she says she's 5'5" but I tower over her at 5'7" so who knows) and can't get her foot up in the stirrup. I try to wipe the grin off my face before she sees it. I don't think I succeeded.
She leads him over to the mounting block and still struggles to get her foot in the stirrup.
"Gosh, he's bigger than he looks."
Smirk.
She's grunting as she gets on his back. Then she looks down. "Wow, he's taller than I thought he was."
Real big smirk.
She worked him in the round pen, doing circles and making him bend to her leg pressure. I recently put a new bit in his mouth and we're working him on it trying to fill in the holes in his training.
If you remember, he AND Gracie were buttheads on the road last Friday after a really nice ride on Thursday. So both have been put in the round pen and worked hard.
She wanted to see if she could work with him when I wasn't there and she found out he's taller than Gracie.
