@katlupe I love your photo of the woman holding the team — Somewhere in the attic I have a photo of my paternal grandfather standing on the hay wagon, holding his team. ”Somewhere” being the operative.
That was the team he slept with when he & grandma had words, lollol. Dad said he believed grandpa was happier sleeping in their hay manger and he’s the cause of my born-in-the-blood-horse-addiction

@MoBeans , OK I had to Google that. It turns out that side saddle jumping was a thing back in those days and it is still a thing in today’s world because I have just watched a couple of YouTube videos.
I once bought an antique side saddle off a drunk in a local roadhouse who needed beer money. I rode it in a parade once and that was the end of that lol. I am a great bareback rider, but sitting side saddle was a whole different ball game and I couldn’t do it very well.
I tip my hat to those women who do it and can also stay out of the horse’s head because that takes talent and balance.

“The Beautiful Jim Key“ was a southern horse and not one that many know about unless you’re from the middle Tennessee area. I did not know about him until I moved here and discovered he was born only 20 miles from where I now live.
There had to be something to his alleged genius mentality because the beautiful Jim Key went on the road, showing off his talents to many in the United States, and I think he even went abroad. There are several links regarding his story on the Internet.
QUOTE:
The stallion, Jim, stood 16 hands high and was a bay with a mahogany coat. He had a white star on his forehead, a small white blaze on his nose, a white stocking on his right hind leg, and a tiny stocking on his left foreleg. As an Arabian-Hambletonian cross, his sire was Tennessee Volunteer, who stood at stud at a livery stable in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Tennessee Volunteer was the great-grandson of Rysdky's Hambletonian.[citation needed] His dam, Lauretta, Queen of Horses, also had an impressive pedigree, being an Arabian horse originally owned by Sheikh Ahemid of Persia.[citation needed]
He was a highly observant horse and began mimicking tricks performed by one of Dr. Key's dogs. Dr. Key provided him with the best hay and oats, and Jim Key drank only mineral water. As a yearling, he lived in the Key family home, where his conformation developed into the beautiful lines inherited from his sire and dam.

Early years
Dr. William P. Key, a mulatto former slave, bred his mare to a stallion at Bell Buckle Farms in Shelbyville, Tennessee. The mare gave birth to a highly unusual colt with extraordinary talents and exceptional intelligence. At birth, the colt was considered quite unattractive and gangly. In fact, he was so sickly that stable hands repeatedly urged Dr. Key to euthanize the foal. However, through patience and care, Dr. Key managed to nurse him through his first year of life.He was a highly observant horse and began mimicking tricks performed by one of Dr. Key's dogs.

Plus just a little bit of glue on the saddle. I do not know why she isn't flying off that horse. If you zoom in on her face she looks like she doesn't know why either.
