Pictures of the Big Guy!!!

Finally! Riding pictures of Rugby and me! These were taken when I rode him after the hoof trimming last Sunday and it's the first time I've seen how we look together under saddle. I think we make a good team but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves :)






What a good boy! He looks like he's sleeping in the sun after our ride!

Awww!!! You guys look so cute together! He really must be huge because I know you said you were close to 6 foot and you two look perfect together! I love it.

Wow! When I looked at the pics, I thought you would have to have been short. But you are the same height as me... that is ONE BIG HORSE!!

Thanks to everyone who commented on your kind compliments. Since my jacket also got a response, here's the info on it. It's from Rambo Horseware's 2009 fall line. You can buy them right now on most equestrian sites. Mine came from equestriancollections.com . It's the goldenrod stripe, newmarket fleece jacket. There's still time to add it to your holiday wiishlists!
