Notice how his rein is pulled tight which is hard on the horses mouth, plus the horse is by Texas standards a nag of the first order, then I see either a lead rope or a tie up rope, then the horse does not appear to be shod, finally Putin is holding one rein in one hand and the other in another. That is done in some places but almost never in Texas by experienced riders.
All things taken into consideration, this PIC suggests a dude ranch rent horse, being rode a few minutes to take pictures by an uncomfortable and awkward and inexperienced rider on a horse who probably has a sore back (double blankets)......no comment on the asshole with him....in tenny shoes!
