Improvement? (Pics)

[Laura+Phantom]

I was just looking through my pics on photobucket and I noticed these 2 pics of me riding Phantom, is it just me or have we made progress? He was quite hollow in the first one, and I know we're not yet in 'self carriage' but I think he's looking a lot better in the second one, working from behind a lot better and the head is coming down slowly...

The first one is from 2004, the second one was a week ago, we weren't actually schooling either, it was a jumping lesson and I was trying to get some impulsion hence the dreadful tipping forward position!

Huge improvement:D The thing I notice most is how much better he is tracking up, and a much rounder shape overall. Well done:D :D
