By Large I Don't Mean Dangerous by reiko

November 8th, 2007 5:03 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Conserving scale, increase the danger factor in your day-to-day existence.

I've been training my horse again. He had a nice long break, and his behavior really deteriorated without regular training. It's my own fault, so he really can't be blamed for his behavior.

But it makes for a good show! Hopefully I can fix his bucking problem with daily exercise and training. For now, I'm in danger of becoming a quadriplegic every time I ride my horse.


-Edit-
Sorry, totally forgot to add this:
To conserve scale, every day I do something more difficult with him, like starting out with just a walk around the arena, and eventually progressing to things like trail courses.. When I push him too far, like asking him to do something he doesn't quite understand or is scared of, he gets upset and bucks (see photo).

And my friends wonder why i won't let them ride my horse..


He's upset and about to try to throw me (though he knows it won't work).


not related to the bucking problem, but here he is after being locked inside all day. zoom zoom.

That first picture is amazing! The horse in motion blur, and you the only thing in focus. :) I really like it.

His name is Tuffy, and yeah, he moves way too sporadically for any camera :D

I agree...

I voted for:

adding real actual danger of death.
cool (dare I say it, somewhat sexy) photo

Progression is at a bit of a halt.. he got kicked in the chest pretty hard by one of the other horses right where the chestcollar goes, so I can't tack him up without hurting him. Will start up again as soon as he feels better. poor guy :c
