Triple T

My children love riding this poor horse. He is about 16 years old now, but he still has a lot of life left in him! The kids pick him out to ride first, and will occasionally get one of the mares out later. I feel sorry for poor little Triple T at times... he rarely gets a rest from breakfast to dinner! The kids were especially thrilled when they learned they could teach him to run (not trot, a full out galloping run) up the driveway. Then he started wanting to run everytime they started back up the driveway. So I had them try to retrain him to run only when they tell him to. They still love to run full out while riding bareback... with only a lead rope and no bridle. Even Carolynn enjoys riding with a sibling or cousin... but she's not into galloping yet!
