Our horse was not always interested in being ridden and would play his little game of running towards then past us when we showed up in the field and walked toward him. He would do this 2 or 3 times then tire of the game and we could walk up to him. Really, he could probably be led by holding his mane. He didn't appreciate a bit and we usually rode him with just his halter.

Willie would become beyond docile when children were set on his back.

That doesn't mean he wouldn't make mistakes. A couple times, I recall, it was like, "oh, am I standing on your foot?" He actually seemed surprise that I was becoming very stressed!

Steve ouch!

I was obsessed with horses for 13 years! I even got bucked off once when I was 5 and I still loved them! I always begged my dad to buy me one, but it wasn't in the cards.
I had a close friend way back then that let me help take care of her horse and that was therapeutic to my desire to be around horses.

My Horses, My Teachers

This classic memoir by the former director of the renow…

There is a story of a gifted but vicious mare that was out in a field and small child wandered out to her. The adults were holding their breath bc they expected her to hurt the child. Instead, she was careful but just kept grazing.
Still, it takes training for a horse to behave as in your video.

Have you ever ridden a stallion? Or known someone who has?

All the Lipizzan Arabian horses in the above video are stallions trained in dressage and perform in horse shows around the world .
A tiny piece of horse history. General Patton and the US army saved this breed during World War II from extinction.
