Very pretty. But that look. I wouldn't have felt at ease.
Was your hand broken?
Mostly we have American Quarter Horses around here. Laid back temperament.
Did you own the horses or go to a stable for lessons?

Hehehe. Haflingers have a laid back temperament, too, as they were workhorses back in the days.
Hm. Yes. I guess my ringfinger was broken as it does not look like it should anymore. (Someone did not visit the doctor. [emoji85])
I did not own the horses. They belonged to a friend of my father. I did have lessons at a stable, too. But, not too many. They were boring. I was more into riding in the country. The hand accident happened during the first 10 minutes of such a ride. I wore gloves and did not inspect the hand, but got up on that horse right after the fall. I was in shock and felt no pain and did the whole 2 hours ride. The horse tried to get me down several more times. And my hand failed to work at some point. At home I put the gloves down and saw my blood covered hand. I nearly fainted. But no, it was not my last time on horseback. Admittedly, I rode a different horse 2 days later with my bandaged hand. Crazy. [emoji3]

We all get obsessed sometimes.
And who went to the ER back in the day? No one really.

Hehehe. I was an active equestrian for many years and I was never scared of horses. Nevertheless it is true that they are as deceitful and stubborn as cats. [emoji206]

Wow. You are brave.
I've ridden few times. And liked horses as child.

But I have to say it was one of those innocent looking Haflingers that got me off her back and under her hooves and stepped on my right hand.

But now--that gorgeous photo--all I see are the cold dead eyes of a killer.:rofl:
Omg, your broken finger story!:wtf:
Yet, I have done similar.:whistle: In less blood-curdling, non-horse situations.

That cute bear must enjoy every outing....Cold temperatures don't scare him, his raincoat is such a beauty that he probably loves walking and singing in the rain!:yahoo::yahoo:
