Ride with Clyde, the stupid way!

Blog Guy, I got a horse for Christmas, and now I need to take riding lessons. CanĀ  you recommend a cheap place?

I hear good things about that Ride with Clyde Horsemanship Academy.

I’m not familiar with that one. Does he teach Western or Side-Saddle?

Neither. Clyde never learned to ride himself, so he just makes it up as he goes along. Judging from these photos from his advanced class, I guess you’d call it Stupid Riding.

Why on Earth would I want that?

You wanted cheap. Clyde takes payment in shiny rocks and small edible rodents.

I’m SO there, Blog Guy!

Good luck. Look for his slogan, “Up the creek without a saddle.”

One comment so far

I can’t help but wonder though if these aren’t people who fell off the horse and are now refusing to get back in the saddle.

In any case, Bob, don’t you think it’s time to stop horsing around?
