Getting up in years, health problems limit his riding, but coaxed him into hopping on my gf's paint other day.
Love seeing him on one, even if it was just down the driveway and back grin

Thanks for sharing. That's cool he can ride with you even if it's a short time.

Thanks for the replies guys, yeah that's me on my buckskin mare grin
She's 8 years old, and about the best I've ever ridden, WHEN she's not in heat... when she is, she's a holy terror wink
Am breaking her last-born now, a sorrel gelding. Hope to have him for backup when his Ma is not in her right mind.

GF's is a 10 year old gelding, close to if not 16 hh, and THICK,
especially in the front end.

These two are "mutts", just smooth-gaited horses, hers is probably at least mostly American Saddlebred. Dad still has a couple of registered
TWH, but neither are anyone's favorite to ride anymore.
