No school tomorrow, because I'm off to a writing conference with some other people from AP English. W00T!

Ten-chan is coming along, and Shoe is nearly done. I'd post pictures, but the camera is MIA and I'm lazy. So have some blurry show pics from Sunday!

Is that a crop in your hand, or are you just happy to see me? )

You look like you're having a ball. You need to jump higher with Yankee - he's just cantering over that one. :P

XP It's not a great shot, but yeah. He's such a sweetheart, though.

oh, I don't mean that it's a bad shot - and your position is pretty good though I'd work on your leg a little bit. Get it closer to the girth, and your position will be infinitely better just by that. I'd check your stirrup irons, actually - you have very long legs, which would seem the opposite, but they might be too short -- too long stirrups usually send your leg backward. But you're with the motion, and your crest release is lovely.

o.o Holy SHIT. I didn't know I could do a crest release.

But wow, thank you. I do indeed need to work on my leg. I once went flying off, and took the stirrups right off the saddle because my legs were so far back. It was epic.

I don't know anything but horseback riding (other than it seems fun and exciting) but these photos rock.

Good that Ten-Chan is progressing. ^_^ I just sent a private message with my cell phone number in case you need to find me at AB so check your inbox here.

The photos are neat. :-) I used to be a fan of the Saddle Club books in junior high and always thought it would be cool to learn horseback riding. Living in the city though, I've only gone trail riding a few times on vacation and it's been years since the last time.

I got your message and replied with my number. ^^

Oh man, the Saddle Club... I saw the movie in sixth grade, and I was crazy jealous of the rich girl who had the black horse, Cobalt. Good times.
