Hey everybody, I'm Mitch, and I generally can't keep myself off of forums. Or from showing up at the barn an unhealthy number of days a week, hence joining the Horse Forum. I'm 30 years old, and I started riding when I was 6. English mostly, much to the dismay of my grandfather who trained western pleasure horses. (Somehow he wasn't impressed by my ability to perform a half pass or jump a rolltop...) I'm too broke to own a horse now, but I half lease a TB named Silver who is, unsurprisingly, grey. I call him Mr. Original Name. I ride hunter/jumper, just local shows (I mentioned the mostly broke part, right?). I am the worst kind of perfectionist, meaning if I had the cash I would probably be one of those people in a full time training program spending every day lamenting over every tiny mistake. Instead I just exercise other people's horses on days I'm not lessoning or riding my lease horse. Nice to meet y'all. Happy riding.

Hey Mitch, welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have a great sense of humor. There's a lot of interesting and fun people here so hope you enjoy. Please do show us photos of Mr. Original soon.

Here are some pics of Silver and I... I don't have a lot of good shots since I don't own a selfie stick, and he has an enormous head. ;)



Looking lazy (which he is):



Jumping in the under construction arena:




And here are a couple of me on my barn owner's horse, Rose.

Booty shot, equestrian style...



Terrible photo quality, a facial expression that looks like I'm passing a gall stone, but at least my arms look good.
