Very cool! The jumping reference seems a little off, though. The rider's lower leg is very far back; correct equitation would be if the foot and calf were just behind the girth and more underneath the hipbone to support the rider. I don't know if you care, but I thought I'd mention it. I doubt anyone but an equestrian would notice.

I'm equestrian myself and I would notice.
The jumping person is one of the very famous riders, Ludger Beerbaum as a reference.

Ah, so you took it from him. That makes more sense since he's a GP rider where the jumps are 1.6m and up, so maintaining that leg position is nearly impossible on the take-off. But, looking at the horse, he's about a second away from tucking his feet into the full bascule shape at the top of the jump where the rider's legs are still expected to come underneath the rider for balance. Ludger often allows his lower leg to swing back, but who cares about form in jumpers when you get the job done, right?
But I find it more aesthetically pleasing for the classical positions to still be used. McClain Ward has wonderful eq, even at the top levels, especially on Antares F. It's just my opinion and I'm only commenting with possible improvements I'm seeing, but look him up if you don't know him. Deuces.
EDIT: Well, since you kindly blocked me, here's my response: "No need to be haughty, ma'am. If you don't put as much stock in the "pseudo knowledge" of biomechanics as I do, I still wish you luck. I figured you would appreciate a more thoughtful comment than "Oh my gosh, so goooood!", but I'm sorry for thinking any differently. Have a nice day.

I always enjoy hearing people correcting olympic riders claiming they want to be helpful. Like it doesn't sound ridiculous in your mouth at all, I mean this pseudo knownledge, like you know what you are talking about. Like it isn't obvious for you as an e-que-strian that the jump is 1.60 in the picture but yet your helpful eye didn't notice such obvious for equestrian thing.
I hope you don't mind my opinion.

wow. I love how you drew out different riding poses. Maybe it's just where I'm lookng, but I don't see a whole lot of hand drawn horses on DA presently.

Whoa, these really feel like horses, really dynamic posing and realistic looking gait. I'll gotta do some studies on horses sometime as well.

this will help me with some of my postioning for knights on horses or riding any thing really.

I found these simplified rider poses useful, I always mess up the scale and anatomy of that animal... it's tricky to draw a combat scene showing mounted troops when their steeds look like hippos XD

Hey Precia, you are doing great jobs. I love your drawing style. Fantastic and awesome.

Funny, the fantasy tack actually looks like modern day western tack xD

may-be. But fantasy has more flowers in it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Western can have a lot of flowers too o.o
I'm a western horse rider so that kid of design is actually really common to see. xD
Still looks good and fantasy-like though ^^

Marvelous. although, many of the breeds I cared for as a child where a bit more robust. Not true Clydesdales, just a variety of beefier breeds.
Appaloosa, Thorough breed, Mustang, the smallest I rode was an Arabian.

We don't have appaloosa here sadly. But when I was young I thought Arabians are large
