Aaron Riding Boo from Jeff Carroll on Vimeo.

Aaron had the opportunity recently to ride a beautiful quarter horse by the name of Boo. Boo is only seven years old, but he has had a lot of experience and success showing. I took some video of Aaron at two riding sessions. For those of you with riding experience you will recognize a few problems with Aaron’s form. This is mostly because Aaron is not used to riding a horse with as much get up and go. But, Aaron got the hang of it rather quickly and by his second session he was able to get Boo up to a canter in the arena. This is no small feat given a small arena and a big horse. I was very proud of Aaron, he showed a lot of confidence and control.

Boo is available for sale. I have to say I have not been this interested in a horse yet. Unfortunately, the owner knows what Boo is worth and is asking a premium. Aaron wants to start increasing his training and start showing a little more. So, we might consider getting a horse for him if he continues to progress.

    I don’t have much riding experience, so to me, it looks like he knows exactly what he’s doing! Love the music you paired with the video.
