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.

Beginner Horseback Riding Lesson: Using Poles to Help a Rider Learn How to Post
January 21st, 2010
This is Hannah’s first lesson on Marley. She has had about 5 riding lessons in total. Hannah is 6 years old and riding very well for her age and level of experience. We are working on bringing her lower leg under her so she doesn’t have so much of a “chair seat.” Chair seat means that the rider has her legs out in front of her and is using the stirrups to push herself back in her saddle, up against the cantle. Riders usually assume a chair seat position because they don’t want to commit to being up over the horse’s motion – they are afraid of falling forward over the neck. For posting the trot, the riders legs should be in alignment with her hips, so that if the horse were to disappear out from underneath her, she would land on her feet. The posture is a lot like the athletic stance once assumes for tennis.
Marley is a 5 year old, 14h Welsh Cob. He is offered for sale. www.PonyPros.net
