Re: the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

I don't want to sound overly critical, not being a "horsey" person, but shouldn't the horse be secured?

And should her right arm be held up like that, or tucked down closer to her body - I'm only going by my training, mind...

Maybe people do things differently, out her way...

This reminds me of an incident that my daughter had with a very quiet and gentle old horse many years ago.

She was riding him from the stables to Centennial Park through some very quiet streets.

 

The story as she tells it was that she ended up on the ground in front of him with him looking down at her with a quizzical look on his face.

 

Nobody quite believed her because she was a great rider and he was a quiet and reliable horse.  I asked her how it had happened and she said she was just daydreaming and the horse zigged and she zagged.

 

She has never lived it down....to this day almost 30 years later she still gets teased about it.  I took great delight in telling my grandchildren about it at a time when they were having difficulty living up to their mother's riding prowess.

Nowhere near a horsey person - but do have 3 Arabs.

 

I only know which end to talk to.

I suspect  the arms are held like that to help her balance....saddles are shaped for sitting in, not standing on.

 

As for the lack of a helmet.....it looks like a fairly old photo....probably long before the helmet laws were introduced here in Australia.

 

Thirty years ago my daughter wore a helmet with a safely harness for everyday riding but when competing she never even wore a chin strap.....neither did anyone else except for those competing in jumping or cross country.

A few years ago now - I did the ' Man from Snowy River ' 5 day ride out of Aderminaby.

 

Sheesh - I swear the saddle was full of rocks.

 

The guide - huge dude - would get us up & breakfasted ready for the day - we had to go get our own horse (Ethel was mine) and saddle them up.

 

Well, I would hang around, hang around - waiting, waiting - till he finally asked me if I had a problem & needed help.

 

Sure I needed help - they were all blaardy brown. LOL.
