Dear Stackers,
No it is not the year of the horse anymore but this post is about a horse anyway.
My wife used to ride large gentle horses suited for long outdoor rides but after some ten years of doing so was pursueded to be co-rider on a real sportshorse instead.
Here some pictures of my wife and the new horse called Lion.
Maybe you do not see it but this horse was trained already for dressage and jumping at the highest level. It took part in Italian Grand Prix Jumpings but was not quite good enough so was sold to the Netherlands.
My wife now has extra lessons - after 15 years of riding - to ensure she can properly manouver this Ferrari !! It is such a senstive horse. A bit too much pressure in the flank and it takes of.
All in all something to work on and I am proud she decided to take on this challenge.
