Quattro now has a YouTube channel.

I just thought it would be interesting to kind of collate all of his videos in one place, so I created Quattro his own video channel. They're not in the right order, but you're all horse people, you'll figure it out! The commentary kinda tells you what was going on at the time each video was shot. Sadly I doubt if I'll be able to add any more this week b/c trainer will be off at a show, but I'll post some more under saddle as soon as I get it.

After I was done loading all the vids, I kind of wished that I had some BAD Quattro video. Watching the vids makes it look as if the training process was easy and effortless, which it most definitely was NOT: remember the 3 months of "Me Want Go Mo' FASTER" and him belting around with his nose in the air Looky-Lou'ing at everything, while I gritted my teeth and kept trying to get him to RELAX, slow DOWN, and use his back and neck? I sure do! :-P

Unfortunately, on days when he was in "Go Mo' Faster!" mode, the absolute LAST thing I felt like doing was trying to free up a hand to try to shoot video of it.

But for first-time visitors or those who need reminding, when you think that we've managed to go from HERE... (TOTALLY inverted - and he was actually way worse than that on occasion, trust me!)



...to HERE... which is far more acceptable...



...it's clear we're on the right track.

The adventure continues.
