Trooper is a goober.
Definition of a horse goober:
Goes on Beach ride in Cleveland to benefit horses used in mounted police unit.
1 has to be behind, in his mind, the slowest horses on the face of the earth.
2. Cannot for love or money, walk a straight line, but rather a zig zag pattern THE WHOLE TRAIL RIDE because every horse in front of him moves slow ( he is a Tennessee Walker, after all).
3. Balks initially when going into the water
4. Gets in the water and, well, let's just say it IS possible to raise your leg higher than your body when splashing everyone around you
5. Gets out of water, and, immediately drops and rolls in sand, and THEN realizes his rider was STILL on him
Oh the drama, all played out in the photographs
