Had first viewing for my old loan boy, the Batman (in my signature), his owner who also happens to be one of my best friends, my YO and my instructor asked me to ride him and do the viewing with her in the background as I have been riding him for the last 2 years.
She said I rode him beautifully and asked me to stand in the arena and 'coach' the nervous viewer on how to get him to work from behind and get a contact as he is a bit special and I know him so well (he is a bit of a giraffe so you feel like you are taking up too much contact on him but he comes round nicely but your reins need to be a good 4-6 inches shorter than you might think!). I got her to ride him in a good contact in all three paces and she really likes him and wants to come for a second viewing.
I also have 2 other people wanting to come for viewings too, he is such a dude
I am so sad that he might be going but I know he needs a new home and my new boy is coming a week today but he has been my school master and introduced me to competitions and got me rosettes and given me such great times
