I just thought I'd tell everyone who even thinks about criticizing Michelle's equitation & riding style that this was the FIRST time she had ever ridden this horse - a stallion to boot. I know this 100% for a fact as I worked for them. He is a difficult, tough ride over fences & she does a phenomenal job. Believe me, I've ridden him.

And Michelle just got back from winning her first ever international competition, the Nation's Cup in Argentina. If that means she can't ride, then sign me up.

okay, if you dont think Michelle is a great rider, then you are really messed up. she jumps really well. i exercise some of Emil's horses, they are very nice. i saw her jumpa brand new mare that was green that she had never ridden before over 4'6", and she was INCREDIBLE!!! ShowQueen202, she has been trained by her husband, okay, you are really stupid to think she is bad at riding. i would like to  see YOU GUYS WHO DONT THINK SHE IS GOOD beat her in a Grand Prix jump off!

wow, you are actually giving michelle spadone position advice! you must be insane.

[futureequitationstar]

just to let everyone know, michelle is TINY and this horse is a big frisky STALLION!(yes i have seen him in person and he is a stallion.) her riding is very neat and tidy, her best eq. isnt in this video.

her legs go forward a lot but she s still a great rider

[live4belle]

I hate triple bar jumps the worst, followed by swedish oxers. Squares are easy for me! LOL. Maybe I need more pace and to be straighter:P

[mijoutte]

I absolutely agree. Glorious position. Some people are just, crazy jealous:D

not only does Michelle ride hunters and jumpers in textbook perfect style, even though her form doesnt matter, she is one of the sweetest people ive ever met! she looks perfect on every single horse she rides. i was just watching her jump Millie yesterday, and she looked fantastic! so, i wouldnt be talking, cuz she would kick your butt in hunters, jumpers, or eq.

[ponyluver2009]

how can you be mean to her? michelle is known for her beautiful form, even in jumpers. when i was watching the world cup, melanie smith said she rides all horses with beautiful form. meanwhile, ShowQueen, an ignorant beginner says she has a terrible back. so, who should i listen to, a show jumping hall of fame rider, or this ignorgant, uneducated beginner? not only is michelle a beautiful rider, she is one of the nicest people ive ever met, so i wouldnt be talking ShowQueen.

haha i agree!
