Tuesday Video: Girl’s Best Friend

If man’s best friend is a dog, then obviously girl’s best friend is this cat, who makes an excellent sidekick on horseback.

Horse Nation encourages the use of a certified riding helmet by all riders at all times when mounted, especially for young riders.

Cats have exquisite balance, it’s true. They can appear to tightrope-walk on the skinniest of ledges, move silently on their paws and climb nimbly up the slightest of supports to get to the top of a tree, the roof or the crossbeams in your indoor arena so they can quietly terrorize your horse in the spooky corner.

And, apparently, they can balance on the haunches of a cantering pony. Don’t believe me? Look no further.

New Year’s resolution: ride more… with the cat.

Go riding!
