It's his look of complete calm that has me lolling

If he does manage not to go in dart-like, his plums aren't going to be best please with him, let alone the horse

It's actually an Italian Cavalry training photo from 1906.

They were probably demonstrating retreating up a steep bank...

Never mind getting his weight back he needs his feet forwards and his heels down. Give the horse a longer reign too.

If the horse had looked up would it have had a slacker head angle?

I just hope the poor horse doesn't come across any loose shiny pebbles.

Different perspective to the same (or very similar) picture. Looks like some kind of equestrian downhill course ๐Ÿ™‚

Horses are quite good off road, but probably been better with some larger diameter shoes on......
