Oh, okay. I'm 5'6, and I look okayyyy on a pony, but only if it's like, a Haflinger haha. A lot of people think dressage and flatwork is boring but it's soooo helpful. When I'm training I put in so much time with flatwork before I even start jumping. That way it's just a no-brainer for them. And now that my arena is rock-hard all winter that's all I CAN do haha.

This picture of me and beloved was taken in October [:)] like two seconds before I had to go to play practice haha. I ended up using it as my senior picture even though my horse looks like he was going to bite my ear off haha.

Me and Danny working on some jumping stuff. I think this one was like 2'3. He's pretty green and obviously overjumps haha.

This pic is from a video of me and Dan doing 2'6 in May or June, 07. My leg has slipped back, but we took this fence at a hand gallop so I was jolted a bit. I was sooo proud of Danny for this jump - he's so green, but his form is awesome.

Awww, your horse is soooo cute. What breed is he/she? Critique; your leg has slid out in front of you into a "chair seat", I used to have the same problem and there are several ways to cure it. First, I suggest you get someone to video you riding, and then watch it OBSESSIVELY. Then, when you ride, constantly go through a mental checklist, making sure each part of your body is doing what it should be doing. Tying your stirrup leather to your girth is a good way to build "muscle memory"

Ok, pictures first. I think you look really good, obviously you look kind of big on the pony but it's not that bad - how tall are you? Your leg looks really solid and good, your eyes are up which is nice to see and your hands look nice and forgiving on a young horse's mouth. In a couple of landing pictures I noticed that you round your back a tad, just focus on keeping your back straight as you land. The pony looks nice although inexperienced, I know she's not yours but some grids and

haha yeahh my mom gets soooo sick of hearing about danny. my notebooks are covered in little hearts with his name in them i'm just horse-crazy haha.

Hiii I just got joined and figured I'd introduce myself. My name's Tilly, I'm sixteen and I live in Maine. I own one horse, an 8 year old App/TB gelding called Danny. He's my baby; I've had him for a year and a half and have been training him - which has been quite an adventure. When i got him he was notorious for being "unrideable," and for a loooong time I was told to have him put down. But for the past year we've been at a new barn and both doing AWESOME. We do
