That doesn't seem fair. You are a petite person. I've progressed to the small block but I can't get my leg up that high yet.I have to bring my foot almost up to my chest:')I got an ad for a pony today. 12 y/o . Won some ribbons. He sounded like a good deal and I was thinking about the grandkids until I got to the bottom. 7000 dollars !

Here are pics from setting up camp out there... we've got to go back out and build a fire and actually ~camp~ (get away from computer) but I thought these were funny. Cyn is a really funny horse, unlike any I've had before.

Wheeled our stuff into the campsite and found horses there... Cyn comes to check out the scary wheelbarrow...

...and immediately starts pulling stuff out.

I set up the chair, which was interesting to her...

And I lay out the tarp flat on the ground that will go under the tent...

Which she paws into a rumple...

I finally got the tent set up, and had to bring her back with me to post these, locking her out of there or I'm sure she'd destroy it while we were gone :~D

See you all later, we're signing off... hope you thought these were funny and that there aren't too many!

Hahaha, yeah those show ponies can go for a LOT of money. That's actually a medium range asking price for a show pony that's "in the ribbons".
I suppose that my trainer assuming that I don't lke to ride full sized horses becuse I'm afraid of them is a fair assumption consdering I'm farirly new at the barn. I can ride them if I want, but anything over 16 hands, and I start to look like a jockey.

But I adore ponies, at least large ones, and since I stand about 5 feet tall, but not much more then that, I can ride large ponies and get away with it, which I like. I had a trainer who's about my height that did dressage with a large welsh cob. It worked for her.
