Looking good! She looks amazing compared with 2 years ago!

 

[Weezy]

Different horse!

Much improved from the first picture, she looks really well.

My only comment would be, in some of the pictures she looks a little tight over her back and through her neck and therefore not really coming through and allowing her shoulder to work, but looks better in others - but really quite hard in still photos..

How did you get on, on the day? What were you doing - eventing I assume with a bib number on?

Lovely pics - Great Witchingham ?

I'd be proud of your horses progress - haven't gone to the link yet as my food is ready !

She's a good looker too - best of luck for the rest of the season .

TOG- as i say she has to improve yet....trot wise she is really starting to get the idea of working over her back, and to be fair to her she needs schooling more than once a week, but due to lack of facilities its qute hard, although i do as much as possible out hacking.
also just found out she is quite sore in her back as well and was completely out all over the place so hopefully she will feel a bit better now. still a work in progress

she needs to muscle up more through her neck but hopefully now she is working over her back better then it will just be a matter of time

 

[I_A_P]

oh and yes i do event...had to cancel the last 2 though as after the event where my pictures are taken from she completly ran out of steam xc and she actually has a bit of a chest infection...so havent been out and about anywhere since !!

hopefully start eventing season in May

Totally different horse you have made a real difference - you must be proud of what you have achieved.

 

[Judie]

Fran given your lack of facilities you're doing a damn good job I'd say

 

[I_A_P]

TOG-thanks i like to think so, i mean we have our off days and tbh i didnt think it looked as nice as that until i saw it on the video.
hopefully if i work even harder persuading dad i may be able to get a menage someday

would be lovely

sarah-jane...it may be a little slef indulgent but yes i am pleased

 

[BBs]

Fabulous - youve worked so hard and are reaping the rewards.
Totally different horse

 

[lizzie_liz]

She looks fab, and such an improvement. well done, all credit to you

 

[Butterbean]

She's looking lovely and you must be so proud of her (and of yourself too!).

At the moment my young horse looks more like your first couple of photos ... its nice seeing your pics, gives me hope that we can improve! My instructor tells me to be patient but sometimes you don't notice the day to day progress.

Hi

She looks great

It shows how hard you have worked with her and how she must be responding! Is the first pic from 2 years ago? She is a lovely shape now and you can really see how she is coming up off the forehand

lovely shiny coat too!

She looks different from when you posted pics of her not that many weeks back too!

Welldon, you should be very pleased!! Di

 

[I_A_P]

thankyou, it is getting there!!
its nice to see how she was and how she is nown (the first pic is from 2 years ago)
