I tried out my friend Stephanie's WP horse a couple weeks ago & it was great- no pain at all. So today I tried out Cooper...I wasn't quite ready to take him by myself- he's a bit buddy sour- so George & Jeremy took turns leading me around.
Of course George had to try him out first to see how safe he was LOL:







Then Jeremy:





Finally MY turn!:






A couple of things I noticed (apart from George setting the pad back too far): Cooper comes alive when you ride him. He "flags" his tail, ears go up, walks out boldly, he's just gorgeous! And he is super short-backed. George's roping saddle is a little awkward on him, I think the Aussie I've got my eye on will be MUCH better.

OH WAIT!  Here is the picture of you on him!  You look so happy on him!

*clapping*  YAY!  He looks great with YOU on him!!!!!

He really is a pretty boy definatly looks the very best when you are riding him.  He is much to pretty for a guy.  Go get him shannon.
