A horse trainer I know is now in his mid 60's. He has progressed to the point that at his age the first couple of rides are done in a box stall where he can reach up and grab the rafters if things get out of hand. :lol:
This guy has started hundreds of colts in his day and this method is his choice of being able to continue his occupation.
Good luck Silver, she looks like a nice, stout little mare.
edit...... Maybe you were a different person today? :wink:
