I found this on youtube.

The poney in question is my stallion with his new rider (I had to sell him after my divorce and I'm glad I did as I couldn't have ever ridden him again due to my lupus).
I had trained him up to starting piaffé and although his new rider doesn't have that experience I am so proud of him (and her for loving him as much as she does).
When I bought him he had been severely beaten and had been tied up for two years in a stall so tight that he had no hair left on his flanks or buttocks. He was so thin he couldn't walk straight BUT he trotted straight and went on to become a great guy, a truly noble and genuine poney that you could put a three year old on (and yet he wasn't an easy ride for an experienced rider).
Nothing to do with lupus, but thought it might bring a smile to your day...
