Before you post a bunch of 'happy snaps' and ask for a multitude of people from around the world coming from different styles of riding and training backgrounds and then tell them to 'please be nice'... please think about whether your true motive in asking for a critique is the learn new techniques and get different opinions which you can take away and learn from to improve yourself and your horse's way of going, or whether you simply want to be told the sun shines out your backside and you are fantastic in every way shape and form so don't change anything that you're doing.
There have been so many posts in this section with people asking for critiques and opinions on their riding or their horses conformation, and when they get an response that is not what they want to hear, they fly off the handle bars accusing every man and his dog of being 'mean'.
If you want to post a bunch of photo's and ask people what they think, well prepare to have people be brutally hounest and tell you exactly what they see. Don't post if you expect people to tell you that you are simply fantastic and there is nothing worth changing.
*jumps of soap box* ok I'm done now.
