I'll have to remember that one. ;) She would have her withers as the highest point, like the first part of a broco's buck, but that was it. I've been waiting to see what her bucking style might be, not that I hope to ever experience it! Still, it's good to know what she's capable of. Today I ran into people I used to board with. The 20 year old daughter might just be hired to sit on her the first few times with me on the other end of the lunge. Kiki is a very good rider who has spent a good amount to time riding with some pro jumper barns. That said, we had an excellent lunge session today, even though her mind was momentarily blown when ANOTHER HORSE came into the arena to lunge. lol! OMG, the expression on her face was priceless! Then she settled down to do even better with repeated walk-trot-walk, near perfect whoas. I'm really happy to see that she's picking things up really fast. Pronking is a good word too!
