My wife has a new man in her life.
Tonight she took me to meet him.
This is Zorey (sp?) He's a 6 year old Gypsy Vanner. His mane reaches his knees, his tail sweeps the floor. His butt is as wide as a bus. He's a lesson horse, but he isn't owned by the barn. He belongs to a friend of the owner, and she offers him for use for lessons in exchange for boarding. He's kind of out of shape, and I guess she's done this before, to get him some riding time and get him in better shape.
I called out the wife for tying that halter wrong, she just rolled her eyes at me.
One of the other trainers offered a good story when we got there. She had just finished a group lesson with 4 20 something young men. The guy who booked the lesson said he was an advanced rider, as he was from Oklahoma. A couple of them even had the proper hat, right out of the Yellowstone catalog. The advanced rider attempted to mount his horse from the wrong side, and put the wrong foot in the stirrup. Didn't know how to hold his reins either.
