I have just about everything wrong with me! My worst is my toes sticking out instead of forward especially when I'm jumping, I know it's like the most common problem ever! Hehe
Where to start, haha. My worst habit is that I tense my forearms and use them to try and muscle Thumper in to slowing down... and obviously that isn't going to work, haha. I've been improving in that, though! I don't release enough, and when I'm asking for the canter, I lean forwards >:(. Obviously then they don't want to canter, because I drop them and am expecting them to hold up their end of the bargain while I don't hold up mine. Ah well, at least I know some of the things I need to work on :). And that's what riding is all about- improving. It's a continuous challenge, haha. You never know everything!

OMG its sooo true! No matter how long you have been around horses there is so many things you don't know! Its never ending!
