Well, we're making progress finally. I went to a show today and did a 2'6" division, which went quite well. Hunter people are strangely over attached to their trainers. Odd.
Here are some pictures from a show that was in early May I think. 2' course, green hunter at Cavallo Farm:
Haha in the last one you can kind of see the incredibly dorky face I make when I'm jumping (or rather, the horse is). !Determination!
They're from a video, hence the blurryness. Considering 6 months ago I couldn't get him over just the warm-up fences, and I've done all the riding myself, I'm pretty proud of how he's going :)
cute way of carrying his knees! I highly approve!
i looooove the way your pony looks. i love appies!
at 2'6", yes, we are very attached. once you move up, though, you don't care as much ebcause you know better. i do the nod and smile and go in and not listen thing with my trainers, now, since i do the 3'6" and THEYRE not the ones actually on the horse...you know?
3'-3'3". I just got Pedro so i might be bumped back for a while, which is cool I suppose. By winter I'm supposed to be doing 3'6".
Wow, that's pretty neato!
i've only got one picture of him so far, but i'll get a few more scanned soon. the only one i have of me on him displays my very relaxed riding style--that is, with my hands flat and my upper body tilted way too far forward.
:/
my heels are down though, i guess, lol.
