Pictures, critique perhaps?

[* Groomette *]

I'm from this site like..6 or 7 years ago. I typically just roam, hardly post. Hehe. So with that over, I'll tell you a bit about meee?

I'm 18 years old, from Canada. I have an 11 year old, 14.2hh QH gelding, and have owned him for 5 years this September. We've competed to 3'3 hunters, and schooled up to 4'3. And...that is all.

These are pictures and/or videos from my ride last night. The little oxer is actually a triple, but I have this HUGE fear of triple bars for some unknown reason. I don't have any pictures of when we put the last bar up. Any comments or critiques are GREATLY appreciated. I know you guys are good at that ;)

I apologise for any motion sickness my great photographer is going to give you. Hehe.

We put the triple up for this one. I saw triple, freaked out, got a crappy distance, my horse saved my butt, and I bailed on the triple. Sigh.

Okay so..Dud hates changes but now knows that I will ask if we get the wrong lead. So he gets himself all worked up, freaks out, and now throws his head down and threatens to buck. What a great hunter! I love him, lol

And a lesson on HOW NOT TO JUMP. If your horse constantly jumps like this then please, please seek some other form of entertainment. If you constantly look like this over fences, same applies. If your horse happens to somehow save your butt looking like this as your scared for your life, he deserves a pat on the back.

And that is all. Any comments, again, greatly appreciated.

You do a heck of alot better than me, but the only thing I saw was a good bit of collapsed inside shoulder from you.

He looks very proud of himself coming out of those jumps. He sure knows how to use his tail :D

Eh, the shoulder has been haunting meee. In fact, I think I'm immune to seeing it in videos anymore. *bashes head again ground*. Must fix.

Heh, he was really powerful coming out of the line for some reason. Usually, he's the calmest, borderline lazy horse that people are like 'wow doesn't he ever freak out?'. When his tail goes nuts, hes annngrryyy. LOL. Simply put. Wish he wouldn't make such a scene, but he enjoys doing random things.

Thanks guys!
