They make it look so effortless, it’s easy to forget how big they’re really jumping, and that he’s only a 15.2hh Pinto crossbred! Not bad for a for a pony who grew up on the side of a hill :’)!

HOW BLOODY AMAZING! SPEECHLESS :O

^Ditto!

Absolutely awesome. I wish I had a bond with a horse like that!

Quote

"When horses throw temper tantrums at me, I laugh at them. I’m A lot smarter than they are, and I know sooner or later, through consistency and patience, they will understand what I want and calm down. I don’t lose my temper and punish a horse for having a temper tantrum. And you have to have a sense of humor with horses, especially the young ones. You’re going to go through difficult times with every year, so it’s something you just work through."
