IKE


Ike is a really sweet horse. I've only ridden him a few times - he is sooo wide and a bit taller than Dudley that it is hard for me to get on him. Pure quarter horse. One day he was out in the large pen (I sometimes refer to it as the arena - east coast English rider that I was) doing rollbacks with Studley Dudley. Ike just stood there and watched and watched and watched. Probably thinking how many times is she going to run back and forth down the side of the fence come to a screeching halt and do a 180 and run back in the other direction. But Ike stood there and watched and watched and watched - so much so that when I finished with Dudley I threw my saddle on Ike to see if he wanted to do a few rollbacks. After warming him up a bit it was obvious that IKE preferred being the roll back spectator and not the roll back participant!

Well, you've got to admire a horse who knows what he wants and doesn't want to do. He's really cute.

Ha! I call it an ARENA too, as I mount my dressage and hunter thoroughbred with a Western saddle and begin posting today. No one said anything about my black dressage bridle. Polite cowpokes around here.

Ike,
Sometimes I like watching and watching too. I get to giggle at what the other horses are doing that way.

That is a really nice shot of Ike! He's very "QH." I call it an arena too, but I didn't grow up riding English, necessarily. Hmmm??
