Sorry, quite self indulgent, and you can probably pick out a thousand faults with my riding in the pics (feel freet to, but please be nice!)
@ years a go almost, when i got my Crystal, she either went like a camel or overbent horribly, she tried jogging the whole time, when a bit bonkers in the school and barged everyone
Doesnt ound good for a first pony does she haha? Everyone told us to send he back, but we didnt, and now everyone loves her!
Shes changed completly, i had bout 6 months off riding and she was only in very light work then, but i think this really helped, shes only been completly settled for about 7 months really, took a long time to calm her
We have been basically re schooling ehr to an extent, still teahcing he cnater, her canters so wobbley its actually quite hard to feel what leg shes on!
Anyways heres the pics!

She used to rush into them awfully, upuntil about a month ago actually! Couldnt safely go higher than 1'6, but now shes lovely, she could easily do 3'' but my positions defo not good enough- could actually do a 3'6 with some work probs(not huge i know, but shes basically never been schooled properly)

I just tihnk this is really cute, a lot of you probably think its dangerous, but i know neither of them would do anying, shadow follows anyone around the schoo, and it got crystal working from behind!

Well done if you've read all this without getting very very bored
Any comments nice or constructive welcome!
 
would you like a shot of my pony to fix lol!! he used to be fab but he was only 3 and a half then, he grew up and thought it would be fun to turn into a monster, he was jumping 2'3 classes at the beginning of last summer, even brought home a few rosettes, he now wont move in the school, hates circles, will do trotting poles nicely but pretends he doesnt know how to jump, walks through tiny cross poles... little bugger!!

i could do with a shadow to chase me round the school!!
 
There's nothing wrong with your position and it sounds like you are doing really well with her. I think the last photo is really cute !

Thankyou ^_^
I invested in a very good instructor!!! I think a shadow is the ultimate accesory for schooling any horse...and lazy way of exercising more than one
( just an idea for yours, get him torggint over tiny tiny crosses...raise it trot it...till eventually mabye he has to jump?)
Shes still a little bugger sometimes, the first time i jumped her in a school, about a year a go, she thought it owuld be fun to do capriole, rear, buck and do whatever she could to get me off! Fun fun fun
