I thought for sure I posted this before but in going back and searching posts I cannot find it anywhere. A post on EN then posted again on Nina's story of a horse totally misreading a jump and still making it work. Reminded me of this incredible photo of my sweet friend Mary and her horse Elvis. Elvis completely mis read the jump but neither he nor Mary hesitated and made it work. Not to mention made this kick ass photo! Mary's album title on FB is, "The wrong answer to the question" LOL love it!!
Here is the entire series.
I am sorry but aren't these two just freaking ROCK STARS!!!!
That's awesome! I love when something that looks it could have gone so wrong works out beautifully! :)
ReplyDeleteholy cow! great photos! And what an honest horse, he must really trust and love his rider. Great job getting out of that situation! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. That horse is a keeper! I love horses that can get out of problems like that. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWHOA!! Way to turn that into an intense gymanstics exercise! What a good pony!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredibly catty horse. Talk about getting to the other side! And huge round of applause to his rider for getting out of the way and so he could try his best.
ReplyDeleteand and YES count me in for the Peter Akins clinic!! :)
