A friend from high school posted a certain Buzzfeed link on her Facebook page today. I HAD to comment with a few tips for my favorite High School Musical star, Zac Efron. As I did so, I felt like George Morris critiquing those riders who set themselves up by submitting their jumping photos to a well known horse magazine in the States. It was kind of fun to be the judge! Although when I read George’s proclamations about some of the riders I feel kind of sorry for them. (George, can you work on a softer delivery?)

It seems a bit irreverent that I’m posting this today as it is my four year wedding anniversary. But we’re actually not celebrating our big day until this weekend, so I think it’s okay to post (my husband won’t read this blog for several days anyway).

The link to Zac Efron riding shirtless in Italy is really more for you, my dedicated readers (Mom, you probably won’t like it/approve, so don’t bother clicking the link).

After reviewing the just-okay photos of Zac/”Troy” on horseback, what tips do you have to better his riding?

Would you ever submit yourself to George Morris’s column, why or why not? 

P. S. More on the horse I tried yesterday in my next post. 🙂

      Oh my gosh! I think I remember that. Do you have a picture you can share? I’d love to show that on the blog. Flo-ey. What a good girl. She was an amazing horse.

    Oh dear!! I think he needs to learn to keep his legs underneath him and his stirrup went “home”!!

      Seriously! He may be a good actor and a good looking guy but. . . he shouldn’t give up his day job to be a rider just yet. 🙂

    I saw those today. And cringed. You know you’re a true horse girl when you see a hottie on a horse and the only thing you really notice is his equitation (or lack thereof).
