How could I not thought of this! Minimum upkeep, no rhinestone equipment, a pair of shorts, high socks for uniform and a couple big balls. I am so dumb. with the mentality of today's audience I would be a shoo-in

Madame Col.,
All due respect, a pair of shorts, and high socks will be easy to replicate. The pair of "big balls" is going to be real difficult for you.

Was I the only one waiting for the horse to do a somersault over the ball & go head first into the fence or ground? Cute at first but I wouldn't want my horses playing like this.

Anonymous,
That is a great point, and I am glad you were the one to make it, as it sure counterpoints "give them lot's of space to be free!!!" I have seen very valuable horse's sprint across a pasture or bolt after being turned loose in the paddock and blow a tendon or tear a ligament in one brief moment of ignorant spontaneity. Madame Col. Olds Rossi and I used to "catch heat" at a stable we were at because we insisted on keeping our valuable horses pampered in a stall, exercising them regularly in a controlled riding/lunging environment, instead of turning them loose "to play and run free." It takes a lot more work and dedication to clean stalls each day, instead of letting them "shit on the run" and possibly doing irreparable damage to their legs or scarring their beautiful hides.
