Me and Tess today She went well considering I had a little pain of a shetland "Supervising" me ahah. Zorro stood at C the whole time like he was a judge and was yelling out neighs of "encouragment" haha! He needs to realise I don't need his help lol!
(oh and there may be a random of my little brother and Zorro in there as well)
Bandaging the fetlock doesnt hurt the horse, it actually gives it more support if it overreaches or is doing more advanced movements... Sorry just had to add. Looking very Spiffy!! xx
You need to work on lifting your horses back up into your seat. Right now, in all the pics, his back is quite hollow, not round. Seat into Legs into Hands to Soften. Get him to lift his back.
what mieventer was meaning was to get her softer and more supple over her back. to activate her hindlegs more and to get her round over her back. they work much better that way. its is difficult to get unless you know how to do it.
Yes, it seems like it was directed at me as if I don't know how to get my horse working properly. Oh well who cares now[/QUOTE
seeming is different to knowing
Nice pictures, I hate the fact you are riding round in a strappy and I'm wrapped up for blizzard weather ;D
On a side note, others have offered slight crit, but you didn't take offence to them? Also, what other posters have mentioned is tools to help, not criticsm. I'd be thankful o.0 Just saying..
I know Duffy I would rather people pm it to me instead of putting it on ym thread that was meant for photos, but that's besides the point now I don't care.
Exactly Duffy, I really understand that PT wants everyone just to admire the pics, and I do get that, but the comments that have been made aren't so much criticism but suggestions. If they are pm'd then others don't get a chance to learn.
I agree with both Duffy and Golden. This is an open forum, and I am not going to "ooo and aaaahh" when I see something that tells me something is missing.
The back that is hollow, like PintoTess's horse has in these pictures, shows that there is something missing, and I wanted to point it out, so that the OP understands that there is something needed to work on. It wasn't meant to say "oh my gosh, you are such a bad rider" but to say "hey, do you see this? This isn't correct"
I hope others see the pictures, and see that the back isn't rounded nor being lifted - which shows that the horse isn't being worked correctly. So that the light bulbs over their heads can turn on.
I am by no means, a perfect rider. I have faults and make errors, but I along with others, are here to learn, share, grow and become more "educated".
It is one thing to see a horse in a "frame" but another to see if the horse is being worked correctly.

You never have to "ooh and aah" over anyone's posted photos of their horse in the Horse Picture sections. YOu are always free to say nothing.
There is a fine line between offering advice in this picture forum to someone whose posted pics show an error that might be dangerous, such as incorrectly done up tack, and advice on how to improve their riding itself. Since PintoTess admitted that she is working without a trainer, you can always ask her if she would like some advice before offering it.
