I really like this pic. Where is it from?Absolutely lovely....she's so serene and composed.... this horse's bite is somewhat mild. But time AND the lash will eventually change her mood...
Yes, she may be serene and composed now, given the mild "bite," but just wait an hour or two. I'd love to see her expression then. She could probably ride this for a good long while without suffering permanent damage, but suffering indeed.
I like that the device has a horse's head, no doubt to mock the suffering of the rider, and that the feet and arms are restrained in simple stocks. I wonder if if it would be possible to devise the arm stocks so that the rider's arms could slip further down, but not be pulled back up again, forcing her into an ever more painful back bend?
