He's a great pony. He'll pack you around but he'll make you work for it. He's a total character and is completely spoiled rotten (but in a good way). I was surprised at how decently the pics turned out...the last riding pictures I had before those were from last summer from when I hadn't been in lessons for a year and they were ummm...not so pretty. Then the horses I've been riding this year at school are also, um, interesting. Although, I think that having been riding difficult horses that you have to basically carry every step of the way has made jumping on a pony like Splash a thousand times easier! And hopefully if I keep working hard on me this summer, getting back on the horses at school will be easier as well.
For comparison's sake: me and the Splisheroo in Oct '07, when I'd been riding more consistently but was not as confident...barely any release with my elbows! (Although I still had some issues with that this week)
And from this winter, on the big ol' paint that takes off wayyyyyy early
Thanks again for the compliments. I know this is the "non-n00bz" board, so it means a lot coming from you all!
