At Long Last...a Video!

Over the years I've had requests for a video of me actually riding Quzqo, so people could help me with my problems with him, or just to see. This past weekend a good friend came to visit, and she was kind enough to be my videographer. This is hardly the ideal conditions for videotaping, but I had a willing body to hold the camera, so one makes due with what one has!

Some disclaimers!
  • I hadn't ridden the horse in a week and a half
  • It was night, and the barn owner doesn't want us using the BIG arena lights to save electricity and $$ (though now I wish I'd gone ahead and used them, ha ha)...that's why it's dark!
  • It was around 14 degrees IN the arena, so I'm bundled up to the gills.
  • Just so nobody turns me in to FHOTD for being an inappropriate-footwear-wearing @sshat, I AM wearing my winter boots, but they have a nice heel to them.
  • Normally I ride with spurs, I didn't, so that's why I'm pummeling the horse's sides now and then.
  • I'd never ridden in that saddle before...I just bought it that day and was trying it out. Yes, it's too small and I will be selling it shortly
  • I'm riding with a bitless bridle.
  • The weird as heck glowing face of Satan is actually the reflectors on the tractor parked in the corner.
  • I guess that's it! Enjoy!
