This is BeBob he’s about 14 hands, that’s the term we use to measure his height. He’s really clever but he relies on me to tell him what to do. Before we start my back and heels need to be at the right angle, to optimise what I want him to do, a couple of nudge’s and we’re off to a canter, I need to estimate where we need to get from and two, so I’ll count his strides to work it out. You need math to buy horses, feed them, measure them, ride them, dress them the list is endless
