Hottie girl + Great horse = Fun ride!!

More of Jayme and King Creole ("Milo") working on the basics.

Much as I love Milo, I'm still endlessly amused by his tendency to want to self-shorten his stride... despite the fact that it's naturally quite long.

No surprise really, considering that 1) he hasn't been in hunter/jumper training but for about a year and 2) he was broken and initially trained as a Western Pleasure/Trail horse, and taught a collected lope. It manifests when he half-halts his own self, and waits for the "baby spot."

He's still such a fun ride though! So honest, and brave-- he'll try jumping just about anything, despite having so little experience thus far. So different than anything at this age (4.5yrs-old) that either of us have experienced, seeing as we're used to OTTBs.

Looooooove this guy. Hope you all do too!

I've ridden a large horse who liked taking small strides, too. A bit awkward, isn't it? :P

@TheHorseNinja

Indeed. He's such a goofy pony. He showed at GermanTown this year and lengthened sooooo much better though. Love him!

Beautiful...for sure she is a cowgirl

Helmet please?

@juanpilliperaghead

Lol, nice

[juanpilliperaghead]

@ImmortalSynn Ha. I'm gonna blame Youtube *and* claim the rider is on the small side. Yeah, that's my get-out clause right there. :)

[ImmortalSynn]

@juanpilliperaghead

Lol, no... he's barely 16.2!

[juanpilliperaghead]

@ImmortalSynn It's a beautiful horse. 18.5 hands or so?

[ImmortalSynn]

@juanpilliperaghead

Yes, Appendix.

He's by Art I Sweet.

[juanpilliperaghead]

Quarter-horse?

@milpool311

Good stuff. Can't wait.

@lvngdead

No, his names are "King Creole" (show) and "Milo" (barn).
