Joe and Sooner. (now ridden by a circuit show jumper).

This is my friend Joe. "ShooooahhhnCLAAaaaaaire" if she's showing Dressage. She's an eventer. Not just a rider, but a TRAINER.
She'll use words like "hard-on" and "we. GO." when telling us about her amazing rides. There were times that she had to go the whole cross country course with the whip in between the ears of a mare telling her "NO.WE. GO."



They go alright. Vitals taped to ze arm. A vest that's made out of some kind of forcefield. A trusted steed and a trainer shitting ze pants as trotting away he says "you come back. you come back quickly."



She says she looks up with soft eyes and says to herself "I go there." There is no other option.
She's got that something that it takes to be calm and centered and she can "feel" a horse like second nature. She says that everyone has to have "their thing". Here's a few shots of her's...pretty amazing I think.
