For some reason, I don't know why since I am a really bad rider, I have an unusual ability to sit the trot. I learned how to sit the trot on Apollo so now I can sit anyone's trot. The first time I rode Apollo, I cried. His trot was like riding a pogo stick. I rode him over 4 years. One day my trainer, Joan, made some of our group get on him. One woman just sat up there and had to get off. Another woman tried the trot and started screaming. I don't know- all I can say is I fell in love with him before I ever rode him so I figured that I just better get on with it and do it!Vivian, Apollo's Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-30960503761728050042009-08-31T11:37:56.169-05:002009-08-31T11:37:56.169-05:00I would be soooo tempted to ride each one of them ...I would be soooo tempted to ride each one of them too, even with some of their goofyness, when you put them into words like that :) <br /><br />And your spider incident? That happened to me last week at the barn. I made my son, husband AND dad check me over juuuust to make sure one of them didn't miss a spider crawling on me.
