| *sigh* my guy hasn't had much work done. He's been off the track a year, and since then we've both been dealing with injuries. (no critiques please) |

| OMG! ^^^ He looks EXACTLY like my first horse, and first true love, Amazing Grace!!! Color, head, markings, even his mane! I'd swear that was pics of me and Gracie from years ago... ( except for the pic from behind, my butt is bigger! LOL! :) ) He is beautiful! |

If so, thank you so much! And if not, well... I will take my foot out of my mouth! |

Horses: 0 | Isn't sitting the trot optional in 1st level? I read somewhere that all the experienced 1st level riders post because they know their horses move more freely and all the newbies sit because they think that's what's required. I'll have to look at some 1st level tests now to see which it is. |

Now that it's cleared up - THANK YOU!! I greatly appreciate any comments I get on him. It is so amazingly encouraging to hear those things, thank you thank you thank you :)
This is him the day I bought him, a year and a bit ago: 
Poor boy was underweight, 5 weeks off the track :(
This is him now:
(I love this picture) |
