Karen's colt, Voltaire, a 2 yr. old Percheron cross (a PMU baby), goes to school. This was his second time in the roundpen. What a super colt...he's a great spokeshorse for PMU babies! |

My own colt, Mixer, third ride, first time in a snaffle bit. First two shots, paying close attention; second two shots, moving the front feet around; last shot, first time at a lope under saddle..look at those reins flappin'! Those are Leroy's ears in the first pic! |

Horses are good for all ages! Johnny No Spots shows Jeanne how to pet a horse; Mixer's pretty sure there's a carrot hidden somewhere. |

Paige has her first horsemanship lesson. With Mixer in the roundpen, learning how to put on and tie a rope halter, and bareback up on Big Bad Leroy Brown, with two fistfuls of mane: |

Mixer weighs nothing on a lead rope. I walk naturally, swinging my arms, with lots of slack between us; he keeps the slack in the rope, and gets in perfect step with me. |

Me, age 15, at the Junior Grand Nationals at the Cow Palace on Dee Dee. My trainer shortened my stirrups to try to disguise my short horse...my feet were numb by the end of this equitation class. Paul Newman sits reading a script just to the left of my back; his daughter cleaned up! |
