My first attempt at western riding *Pictures*

So i'm a very traditional English rider and when I went to my grandma's she took me to the western yard up the road and they gave me a lesson. It was quite an experience but the horse I had was the sweetest thing... called "H"
Here's some pix


I wasn't the best at it but I really enjoyed it.

I don't ride western either, but it looks like you did a good job to me =]

You look pretty good but your stirrups are too short, i you go there again have them lowered. "H" looks like a very good boy!

Looks pretty good...but LOOK UP. lol Try to stretch down into your stirrups and get those heels down. That horse looks like a sweat heart. Its great that you enjoyed your first western lesson!

Looks pretty good. I agree, your stirrups are a little too short and you need to look up. I won't say anything about your heels. I tend to ride with my toes more down too.

Yea a transition from english to western might be hard.. just remember that you should be sitting deep into you're saddle and barely have a bend in you're leg.

Well done you look great.

Looking good for your first lesson! Haha.

You look really good!! Cute horse

heels down and feet my the sturps relax your hands
