I do have long enough legs, but I can promise that you get sore between them after some time up on her back ;-)

A fantastic summer-wishes to you to Ann :-)

I find my Ziggy big enough at 14.1....can't imagine trying to sit on your girl....I'd have no leg left to do anything with !!!! She's lovely....Have a great summer with her ......

Hi Ann, thanks for the nice comment....yes she is beatuiful ;-)
I can see why you think se looks like a Haflinger, but actually she is double the size!
She is an Ardenner (a Belgian drafthorse).....about 800kilos.....and 162cm in height ;-)

My dream when I was little was a Haflinger, but as I grew up...I got to tall ;-)
So I went and bought something similar *laughing*

...My Haflinger Ziggy is also a big boy....They look sooo pretty when they are " in working form " I'm guessing your girl is also a Haflinger ??? or am I wrong.......She's beautiful non the less...!!!!

Gracelynn: Huge? no...just mum`s little baby *laughing*. Well I might admitt that she is a little bitt bigger than avrage ;-)

Jenna: To my adventage I got this horse when she was a foal, foals and young horses loves to copy others....and of course they learn from it to (in the horse-world).
So when she tried to copy my movements I reinforced that, and that again made her creative and focused to try some more.
Actually In the early begining I also just went with her movements and rewarded her when we got syncronized :-)
