*so hot right now*
He can add it to his list of accomplishments (gymkhana, pony rides, hunter paces, trick or treating, sled dragging, face painting).
A girl from the barn is graduatiing high school, and she and her best friend wanted to do their senior pictures on horseback (she owns a horse but the friend does not). When auditioning sidekicks, Dallas was the clear winner - he hacks out great, is traffic safe (as we had to go on a busy road to get to the photo site), and loves to stand still/doesnt usually get annoyed standing around doing nothing.
He did a fabulous job. Didn't mind some strange girl hopping on, didn't mind the huge camera/lense right in his face, didn't mind the other horse walking away or around him, didn't mind me using a picnic table as an impromtu mounting block. He didnt mind the insane OFF LEASH BUT NOT UNDER CONTROL chocolate lab who charged right at his feet. His only faux pas was the fact that he kept tying to eat the grass. I don't really blame him, as there is absolutely no grass at our farm right now. Still, some quick reminders that it was NOT acceptable to graze while riding finally stuck with him and he posed nicely for his pictures. He even put his ears forward for most of them.
Plus, as a generous gift for letting them use Dallas, the parents of the girls allowed the photographer to take some shots of us. I will post the stills when I have them, and will happily take advice on which ones to print!
