I was on a 16 hand 3" ( 5ft 7" to his back so add another 2 ft to his ears )Unruly youngster thats built like conans big brother , bareback ( no saddle so no stirrups and with a snaffel ( very soft bit eg no brakes )
Trying to teach him to change legs at the canter ( fast one approx 20-25 mph )
I did have a helmet on when we parted company my one good move
yeah I agree it is for girlies there much tougher and nastier that us softie boys :
The girlies from the stables once went to a Vandals rugby club do in walton they came back the next day and said rugby players can't keep up bit to quiet for the girls and not enough drink( I think they got thrown out for being to rowdy )
Oh and I know three girls who've had their pelvises split in half after a horse fellover backwards on them and they all still ride ( and I thought I was daft )
you know after writing this I might take up Rugby it might be safer got any openings for a 6 ft 3" 17 stoner past his prime and with a busted wrist
