Jumping fun
Hello Equitation101-ers! I thought I'd see if anyone was still active in this community. I went to an annual camp in Ocala my trainer holds as the working student a couple of weeks ago and I come bearing some pictures! Comment! Critique! Enjoy! Application below the cut.

How long have you been riding for: Since I was 13, but with probably 3-4 years knocked out of there due to various reasons. I'd say a solid 6-7 years.
What discipline do you ride (ie- hunter, or dressage, or pleasure): Hunters, Jumpers, Teensy weensy bit of dressage.
Riding Strengths: Hm. Well... my right leg is pretty solid. My left one does some funky things. ;p Contact and feeling on the flat are going pretty well. Heels are ok.
Riding Weaknesses: Oh my. Shoulders rounded, looking down, rotating my hands, not stepping down with my left leg. I could go on ;]
I was lent my good friend's horse for the trip. There was a whole stitches/florida sore/gaping hole in his neck saga that happened and I almost couldn't take him, but luckily we got the ok from the vet!! :D He actually healed in the week we were there SO much faster because of the lack of humidity. We truly are tropical in South Florida. Anyway, have at it.
In the van! Legend's poking his little head out.

I'm always up for new horsey friends too! :] Feel free to add.
