Smell the leather, the horse, the sweat, the sand... hear the hooves, the public, the low squeaking from leather on leather, the breathing of the horse, the applause... feel your heart pumping in your ears and chest, feel the muscles from the horse underneath you, feel the reins(?) in your hands...
*Sigh*, I want to be jumping with a horse in(of course) a competition...

Can I use this in a manipulation?
It would be on a sim game (ponybox.com)
and you would be fully credited

Never tried dressage.. my school hasn't taught us anything about it yet except for half halt and rein back.
Great shot though!

I did dressage for horse camp last week. x3 It was fun, but hard. =O My horse is too long so everything came up too fast. XD

Dressage is really fun
After you get used to it..
long horses are difficult for some lateral movements
but you get used to that too~
Keep up with dressage ;D it'll make you a better overall rider. trust me. ;D

I know. x3 I take English lessons, which covers everything. But it's mostly jumping, but that's fun too.
I lurve my Maverick and his gawky, way-too-bouncy, long-legged thoroughbred self.
Which is why I don't ride any bareback on him. Because that hurts. =O

lol!
I used to have a thoroughbred percheron cross. now that was a comfortable ride. [suprisingly she was pretty short but very.....very...wide]
I used to jump a lot but when i got rid of my hors ei stopped and went to the only barn that had affordable lessons (which means dressageee~)
xD bareback.
never doing that again.
it is painful x___X

Especially since Thoroughbreds have those big withers, and Maverick's old, so he's extra boney. XD And then he's got a big, bouncy trot, so he throws you high out of your seat, but when its bareback, you don't have no comfy saddle to land on. XD
I was like, "No more pleeeease! XO He hurts too much. ;^;"
And then I had a bruised tailbone the following day.

I'm riding an older apendix [cant spell but the the thoroughbred quarterhorse cross]
and wven though she has a smooth gait...
owwww....

He's fine if I ride him with a saddle on like during lessons once a week, but if I ride him every day or even every other day leading up to my lesson, my back will catch up to me, and then when I actually have my lesson, and not just playing around, then I do terrible because Sir Bouncyness will jar my back every time I post. *fattens him up* lol If that made any sense at all. XD

owieee D;
it makes perfect sense xD
that sounds quite painful too D;

Yeah... The funny thing is, whenever that happens, those days happen to be the days that my instructors says I look the best.
I was like, 'gee thanks. XO'
I guess its because I have to try and be really straight and not hit the seat so hard or I'll feel it. XD lol

lololol xDD!
WHen you feel the worst you always seem to ride the best too hahaha.
figures xD
maybe just sitting his trot will help? lol no flopping

>.> No no... That's even worse. =O I have like, no butt, so it's like... tailbone against saddle. XD So I must have a nice synthetic saddle because leather's too hard.
I blame my dad. Darn genetics. XP It fails.
It's funny because both me and Maverick have a weak back and long legs. XD Of course, Maverick gets extra padding for his back, but I don't. XD lol
My mom says its like when their owners look like their dogs.

Yeah... He's not the most comfortable horse around, but I feel safe on him, which is more then I can say about other horses. >.>
