I have posted this picture so that you could compare the similarities in riding skills between Albert Ostemaier, Dianne Olds Rossi , and myself. If you do see any similarities, LEAVE THE ACADEMY NOW!!!!! You have no business here. This is a Chestnut/Sorrel Andalusian stallion, named Fuego that Dianne had in training, and she was kind enough to let me ride him and provided me with invaluable instruction. I learned more in the one year I was training horses with Dianne, then I had learned in the previous 30 years in the circus. I am forever grateful for that tutelage.

I see No similarities of riding skills,does this mean I pass?....I do however see the monkey humping the football....LMAO....
Wade, anyone who can judge a person's riding skills from a single still photo has an overinflated opinion of themselves. A picture can make you look better or worse than you really are. I would still like to see you ride, cowboy. Thanks for the pictures of Dianne and Albert - both outstanding trainers.
Jeannie
Jeannie,
You are right. Monkey humping a football does come off sounding arrogant. Sorry. How does rides like a rat with a mouth full of DeCon sound? Fire Magic doing the Lord of the Dance ruined me for ever looking at a piaffe/passage the same way again.
And I would still like to swing dance, lady. Your call.
Wade Burck
Wade, I wasn't calling you arrogant. Just saying you can't judge one's riding skills by 1 picture. My call? Well, I will be at the Double Lucky Ranch Open House in Wadsworth on Sunday - Route 173 just east of Hwy. 41. The band goes on at 4:00. See you there?
Jeannie
Jeanie....
Wade....
Is this thread going to turn the blog instantly into a dating site?
I won't judge your riding skills by the photo Wade, as I am one of the club of people smart enough to not ride 1,000 lbs. animals with small, flighty, brains. With that I will throw out there that, if you have to make a face like that to ride a horse, I will pass forever.
Casey,
I'm trying to run a blog here!!!! You get me all wound up with shot's, I'm looking for the monitor post button to choke you down, and send a new post without the picture. Thanks. Now I have to find the erase button and start over.
Jeannie,
Ignore him. What day? Or are you so excited you are waiting there now? Let me run these pictures, and get showered.
Wade Burck
Casey - You're right. If you have a small, flighty brain you should not ride horses.
Jeannie
I do love the way you Americans communicate!!! (And I am certainly expecting flack on that!!)
With regard to horses, just in case you don't know, Katja Schumann is back in her native Denmark with Circkus Dannebrog. She's riding high school on her own horse, and presenting the show's liberty act. It's more than likely that the show will be in Copenhagen towards the start of September, at which time Benneweis will definitely be in that city, and Arena (with Rene Casselly's elephants) won't be too far away.
John.
Wade,
I recant the dating site remark. I can tell by Jeanie's last comment, you two deserve each other. She does seem a little rangy though, if I did ride, I might suggest a "German Martingale"
Casey,
I told you that word "german martingale" last night. Now you are Col. Alois Podhajsky???? It's a good thing I didn't say Oster 10 blade. You would be telling us how that helps ride forward and collected. LOL
Wade Burck
Casey, Margaret and Jeannie
FYI---that face necessary to ride a horse, as you call it Casey, Col. Podhajsky calls "clicking the tongue" encouraging forward motion, on page 54 of THE COMPLETE TRAINING OF HORSE & RIDER. The clenched jaw was when I instantly realized(given my lightning reflexes), that Fuego hadn't read the Col's. book, and the Col. hadn't written about how to get a horse off of the roof of the barn, and I was waiting for the Madame Col. to suggest something quick, so we didn't have to dig the ladder out of the maintenance shop. And yes, Jeannie you can judge ones riding skills by 1 picture. LOL
Wade Burck
How did I get into this mix? I was only agreeing with Wade. And I don't have an overinflated opinion of myself.
Just a little advice,Jeannie, If you go for the "ride" keep your spurs on,they help to stay in the saddle....LOL....Margaret
John,
I am running a couple of pictures of Albert and Paulina Shumann on Monday. I didn't want you to misinterpret my statement about the best horseman coming from Europe. It was said in reference to geography, not talent. And your island nation has historically been loaded with skilled horseman.
So as not to disappoint you, here is the "flack" you are expecting, relayed with much respect. And I suspect only you and I will "understand" what I am talking about.
Bloody hell, you cow bag!!! Don't tell me how us "Americans" communicate. I can tell you about the "British". I have known a special "Brit" for 6 years, and I don't understand the Queens English or way of thinking any more today then I did 6 years ago. I think I did eventually learn to understand a little bit of it though. Let me ask you, John. If somebody says you are a "jolly jump off" does that mean they hold you in high esteem? LOL And she was special, but so hard to understand.
Wade
Jeannie,
Sorry for the delete I was trying to figure out what those garbage cans were. I know, I'm a moron. Please repost
Wade
Wade
Good to hear that some men can learn from their mistakes. What I said in the post you accidentally deleted was that I was not calling Margaret arrogant either and I enjoyed the pictures on her MySpace page.
Also, Margaret, when you mentioned the spurs, were you speaking from experience?
Jeannie
Rite after you told me about the German martingale Wade, I explained in detail the garbage can in the comments. So come on Col. Bill Gates lets get this blog thing off the leg...
Jeannie, yes I speak from 8 years of experience wearing the "spurs". Believe me it was a hell of a ride....LOL
Shit, she sent the post again!!!!! I can't patch with the garbage can deal again. Casey reminded me of our now censor policy, and then blabbed that he explained the can last night. My only option is to tell Margaret ignore this post from Jeannie. Hope that works.
Wade
I reposted because you told me to. Don't worry, you won't hear from me again.
Shit!!!!! I can only guess that my post to Jeannie was "garbaged canned also" LMAO....You started this thread Col Monkey Humping A Football Burck....
Margaret,
Great endorsement. Thanks, I appreciate it.
Wade
P.S. The rider puts the iron on, not the other way around.
Jeannie,
Wait. Margaret is my ex wife, we have two wonderful sons. I think the world of her. We are just goofing. I am sorry if you were offended. Geez, this sucks.
Wade
Margaret,
Of course it was not deleted. There it is with a thank you, and a correction. LOL
Wade
P.S. I know whom wears the irons darling....LOL
Wade - I apologize. I took your post about my reposting the wrong way. Sometimes it is hard to tell when someone is poking fun when you read something rather than hear them say it. Trust me, I will be right here next to Margaret from now on.
Jeannie
Wade,
You don't look all that bad in the picture.
Bud
Bud,
I learned a lesson thought. Never post a picture of myself. 27 comments!!!! Has the world gone insane!!!!! LOL
My best,
Wade Burck
