Maybe Hitler back from the grave?
HHO, if you stunble back across this post, please tell the photographer that I did ask him to come and do some photos for my website about 6 months ago....
This really pisses me off. That was not a pro photo - it was given to me Alex Colquhoun (sp?), after he took it at Blenheim. He doesn't sell photos, he's just a bloody good photographer who takes (took?) them to help the selectors with their job. I will let Admin know, but they'll be away for the weekend
and this one! LOL she took a bit of a long one, wasn't expecting it!

I didn't think i had to do everyone sorry...
right...
first pic is perfect, no more need to comment
second pic, although you look to have been a bit left behind (as you said she put in a big one) you've given with your hands, and therefore still look in balance with her!!.. little tip, if you get her on her hocks and with more power (not speed) to the canter, she shouldn't just launch at fences like that...
to be honest the SJing pics look like you reawlly need to see the round before you can give a proper comment on them... although in the first one you say the rider is not waiting for the horse, ie infront of the movement.. but to me they look more left behind.. tuff one... anyone else care to comment???
MDM cant work out what you mean about the corner pic!! Apat from maybe the fact I could be giving with my hands a bt more but I am allowing my reins and he was soooo bloody strong I darent give too much with him!!
Yeah she was being quite lazy that day, really backing off the contact coming into the fences and I was struggling to get her to put more energy into her canter.
thanks though
