Learning how to ride when I was little…

March 4th, 2010

I was an annoying little 7 year old who thought I could do anything.
Back then it was cool to wear your helmet all day, even if you weren’t riding ;)
Riding a bigger horse then everyone else meant you were the ‘best’ rider (even though he’s only 15.1hh, man I must have been tiny! Look at the way I climb into the saddle!).
Cantering was a massive deal…
And I used to brag to my friends about how I can jump really high (lol…. yeah ground poles were massive back then…).

God bless that horse.
I really wasn’t the best rider(been riding for a year)…. he put up with anything and taught me everything.
The song says it all.
I just wish I could be there for him these days :’(
It really breaks my heart when I see how happy he is in these videos.
I’ve tried everything to buy him back!
My poor boy :(

Look in the video response to see what happened to him.
And for those of you who have already seen the original Red video, I’ll be making a new one about his progress in a couple of weeks.

    I can´t believe that hes the same horse!
    He looks interested and funny,but in all others just uninterested of his life (sorry i´m german i hope you´re understanding me ?! =P )

    I know it from my pony in a diffrent way, she was an happy and funny partner for some months, then she became a filly, this filly died because of an silly accident, and then she was agressiv, noone could help her, so we have to kill her… Today ´think i could help her now, but its to late =´(
