Hi---We had Loreal and loved him!!!! My son showed him and took him to Pony Finals. We were so happy to see your message! Can you let us know where he is now? He is such a great pony. Thanks!
With regards to the In or out of saddle I personally have done both but I find that in the saddle is better because it is easier to judge the fences. This is my preference and I have tried out of the saddle and had success with both so I guess I am easily adaptable
I have to ride both ways. In the saddle with my mare, and out of the saddle with my gelding. But I perfer out of the saddle, it looks nicer. Also its more comfortable. But maybe its because I perfer hunters more then jumpers. And hunters seems to be more out of the saddle. Haha nice riding
how many riders were there? .... u did pretty good overall i think you missed 3 distances... i THINK- i cant really tell but that's just my judgment. good ride
Hey um my friends pony (the pony i currently lease) went to pony finals in 2007 and showed in pony meadal his name was short notice check my page to seee if u have seen him
Just wanted to say that, unlike on commenter, I really like how you maintain a straight line from elbow to bit and how your whole body is so quiet and forward in a traditional way. I'm tried of the sit, sit, sit stuff and the big moves over the jump. I wish more would ride like you in the hunter division--even though I know it's no longer "in" to ride like that, in some folks' opinions. Your form functioned great--the person who criticized had little reason to except FAD, not form or function.
The reason a lot of us sit before the fence is to a) reset the pony's balance. b) to drive them forward the two point simply falls into place. many ponies have big jumps for little kids, which is why the jump ahead, they are too small to ride any other way and still get a proper release, not catching their horse in the mouth. i really like his flat position, and his form is indeed functional, however; i would love to see him let go of his reins and find true balance, not balance of of the reins.
I competely agree with you. I was taught to ride more forward and out of the saddle. I like to see riders ride this way rather that to stay in the saddle. In my opinion it looks nicer.
is cuz her helmet is pushed back on her head instead of squarely on it...either too big or just needs to put it on a bit more forward on the forehead. beautiful round, awesome pony!
Hey, you ride with Janet Salem at Patchwork Farm right? I live/show in Georgia and I remember seeing you at BJC shows wayyy back in the day. A little girl from my barn showed in the pony medal at GHJA finals...congrats on your win there

forward for hunters or a really easy eq. horse is fine,but for eq on the flat and for tougher horses i think its good to sit.
