Trainer Uses Fake Skeleton to Get Horse Used to Riders
A mare named Bon Jovi happily trotted around a pen in Oak Brook, Missouri, with a life-sized fake skeleton on her back while her trainer Rebecca demonstrated to students how to ride a horse correctly. Rebecca controlled the skeleton with ropes to show how different body movements would affect the horse. At one point, Bon Jovi decided to go into a full gallop, and the skeleton flopped around her back. Rebecca regained control, and the horse slowed down.
