Numnah, no I don't need proof or something odd like that. I was only saying that seeing as you were belittling me for the pictures I've posted, atleast I've had the guts to do so. I obviously know I'm not perfect and that there are areas where I could improve, but seeing as you have never actually seen me riding in person, I don't think you've got a real say in the matter and shouldn't be criticizing me to such a degree. Many, MANY people on here have never posted a picture of themself, near a horse, on a horse, let alone jumping/showing one. I have a trainer for a reason. To get the advice I pay for from them. I have pictures of myself riding to see the areas where I need to improve for myself aswell. And I do improve, seeing as I've managed to stop hunching my back, not over-release/lay on the horses neck , and to ride with much shorter reins, in the past month and abit I've been at the new barn. I've always gone from placing so-so, like 5th or 6th in eq. classes, to being in the top 3.

But I'll gladly move on from this.

There is something about jumping a horse over a fence, something that makes you feel good. Perhaps it's the risk, the gamble. In any event it's a thing I need.

TTL;
two years and many more. <3
