I know our US friends don't get that but I do - classic!

Lovely mare Izziesmum. She looks to be going very nicely for a green baby. (The only little thing I would say - and I'm sure you know this - is that if you sat more in the middle of the saddle and brought your lower leg further back you would have a better position and therefore help her more.)

I think it's funny that you have an ASH called Izzy and I have one called Kizzy. What's her registered name and breeding?
