Popular Post webfact Posted May 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2019 Like father like daughter! Baibua is following in cowboy dad's footsteps! Picture: Daily News Thai social media was widely sharing the story of a seven year old Thai girl in Songkhla who is following in her dad's footsteps in becoming a cowboy - well cowgirl! Baibua - real name Kornkanya Thapnakha - has just started the second year of primary (P2) at the Thetsaban 2 Orn-Uthit School in the southern Thai province. After school she goes to the beach where she helps her mum sell ice cream and helps her dad run a business giving rides to tourists. They are based at Laem Samila beach. She was seen on social media riding her favorite horse - Jao See Thong - or "Golden", aged 10. She said that she doesn't go to school on her horse - but she does ride him all the way home. Proud dad and aspiring cowboy Wanchalerm Thapnakha, 33, said that Golden has a great disposition and is ideal for his daughter who has been riding since she was four. He lets her do a seven kilometer round trip alone on Golden as she is already an accomplished cowgirl...even at age 7.

Popular Post Briggsy Posted May 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Her father is not a cowboy. He hires out ponies for walks on the beach. Cows are usually herded by Burmese in Thailand on foot or perhaps from a beat-up Honda Wave waving a long flexible stick and shouting a lot.

marquis22 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 2 hours ago, jaiyen said: She should be wearing a helmet ! Also, shorten the stirrups leathers so her feet are in the stirrups. Very dangerous if the horse shies and she falls off, her feet would probably not come out of the stirrup leathers and she would be dragged along with head dangling on the ground or kicked by his back legs. caught in stirrups.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screaming while riding a beat up bike is a Thai thing or so I thought The only difference is the Burmese work 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertson468 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 She also needs to be taught the rising trot for the benefit of both herself and to make life a little easier on the horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wotsdermatter Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 On 5/29/2019 at 11:17 PM, robertson468 said: She also needs to be taught the rising trot Depends on the style of saddle used. Have ridden horses in many different countries, the rising, aka the posting trot, is not used in most because the saddle is inappropriate. For example, the rising trot is rarely used on the U.S. and Australian saddles, the traditional Japanese saddle and on many eastern saddles. Also, the rising trot is not used in some styles of riding and a lot depends on which type of trot the horse is in. A prime example of that is in high-level dressage where it is definitely frowned upon. 'nuf sed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf99 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I went to the link site about ponies and horses - it shows a "hand" lengthwise as being 4 inches and being the size of a grown mans hand.......wrong. A hand is across the width of a hand i.e. edge to edge. Good old wiki - never ceases to give duff info. As for helmets on horses - waste of time. Falling from 6 feet up at speed was the demise of Christopher Reeve - "Superman". Horses are deadly, they kill and cripple more people than any other animal. Here is a better link about how deadly. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-38592390 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
