CC please!!!!

[Stopper]

this is my horse Katie 15.00 22 years young but not done much please can you give some constructive criticism on her and me

 

[showpony]

Very hard to judge by one photo, have you a video you can upload?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

She doesn't look 22! Well done, you obviously care for her very well.

It would be great if you could put a video up if you want a proper CC.

Bless her she is a really young 22. Think she is nose poking ( me and my boy used to have this on all our test sheets ) but can't tell from just one photo but her condition looks very good.

Hiya, she's gorgeous, and she looks so much younger than 22! Perhaps you could put up a picture of her not being ridden and another ridden one?

 

[nixxyz]

[Shysmum]

[Stopper]

[Kazza1]

You look great together!

 

[Twinkley Lights]

She looks even nicer in the new photos

She looks great for 22! Well done for keeping her in such good condition!

One bit of cc, you seem to have a lot of your foot in the stirrup, try get it on the ball of your foot, that might help with your leg slipping back when you're jumping as it should be easier to keep the weight in your heels (I do the same, so I know what it's like. )

Reins being a bit long is better than chucking her in the mouth IMO.

ETA: She looks like a super mare, she's gorgeous!

what a cracker for a 22 year old!

Firstly can I see how nice it is to see how much you give with your hands... not a common trait these days!

My only critique would be Judging from the pics , take your stirrups down a hole or 2 - as in first pic your foot is jammed in the stirrup as opposed to your heel being down and don't think you need to be quite so forward in your position..

You obviously have some cracking fun together - enjoy every minute of it!

 

[FreddiesGal]

My only criticism would be heals down, sit down on your bum but push your hands further towards her ears

 

[nixxyz]

Thanks everyone!!yep that's lempitlaw

Thought it was a friend of mine keeps her horse there, Nemo? and a neighbour of mine used to keep her horse there too lol I will say hello if i see you out on a hack, i just live down the road

 

[Stopper]

Thanks everyone it's great to know that she doesn't look old or anything

In the first picture it looks a bit as though your hands have turned over a bit and that is making your elbows poke out, it will also effect the softness of your contact so could contribute to the nose poking. Remember thumbs on top!

I agree that you have a lot of foot in your stirrup and could do with it more on the ball and your heels down a bit.

Generally a nice picture though and a lovely horse, who doesn't look anywhere near her 22 years! Hope you have lots of fun with her, she looks lovely.

Ooh she looks great fun!

I think its great that you have a nice forward seat and don't hold her in the front over the fence. One thing you could work on though is pushing your hands forward over the fence instead of having longer reins.

But you look like a nice sympathetic young rider! Just a little bit of tidying up required but well done.

She looks no where near 22 too
