Some pics and videos of horse-riding (finally!)

[Miss Z]

Hey camera!


This pic makes me laugh, I look like I'm going into some sort of medeival battle, me-thinks



Off into trot, here is a nice rounded medium trot a horse should give as a natural trot



Collecting the trot, here I think I over collected Millie a little too much and caused her to slow up, but you'll be able to see the difference clearly between the medium trot above, the collected trot here, and then the next one...



Extended trot! Ha ha, OK, in this one I seriously got carried away and lost the nice rounded frame completely but at least you can see how Millie's legs are stretching to cover more ground with each trot stride.

More to come....

Here I tidied up the extended trot a little more, LOL



This was just finishing a leg yield where the horse moves forwards and sideways so the legs cross over, you can just see this final cross in Millie's hindlegs before we go straight on the track.



Aaaaand....canter!



LMAO, my attempt at collected canter, I REALLY need to work on this



This is one of my favourite pics, it looks like I'm riding some wild horse as Millie looks so funny in the pic

Just the vids....

And the two videos, the first is trotting a serpentine, the second is cantering on a circle. I really don't like uploading to photobucket, it seems to darken my videos, but ah well.





Hope you all enjoyed!
