I like your bracketed description: pulling mane/knees/spider monkey! :-)<br /><br />I could probably jump on my pony bareback as a kid, but just barely. I had this tall, lean athletic friend that could gracefully get on her 15.3 horse bareback. It made me so mad! lolLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-90247864763923811232012-01-18T17:38:19.797-05:002012-01-18T17:38:19.797-05:00I wish I could just hop on bareback, but my horses...I wish I could just hop on bareback, but my horses are too big to do that. My brothers made us a special mounting block tall enough to just swing over their backs, except the 16h draftx. Your tiny and in shape so I know he had no issues. No critisism intended. Vaulters do it all the time, so have fun. Did you get video of that mounting :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675631291488697042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-2172718601991848422012-01-18T09:59:55.623-05:002012-01-18T09:59:55.623-05:00Oh, of course, I do always use a mounting block ev...Oh, of course, I do always use a mounting block even on smalls for just that reason, and I make sure to mount lightly and not place any significant pulling forces anywhere on his back. But in this case we were cooling down and I stripped his tack and impulsively hopped on to walk around for a few minutes.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-60061625388948925572012-01-18T09:56:22.564-05:002012-01-18T09:56:22.564-05:00I did that once on my 13.3 hand Arab.

Talk about making me feel bad. So now we always make sure we have a mounting block.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13675631291488697042noreply@blogger.com
