Zenitha - he looks great and looks like he is working really well. Looking at his lovely outline its just reminded me i need to book up some lessons....
Ozzy goes along with his nose poking in the air and i've not attempted yet to ask him to drop his nose and work in more of an outline.
Anyone recommend a good instructor in the Essex area? I can either travel to them or maybe use my friends school up the road. I've tried contacting Darren Crowe (about 20 times...!) but he is so busy i just can't pin him down.. Maybe i'll start a new thread for this question... |

Fantastic photos! Its so lovely to have a record of their progress, isn't it?
This was my first 'proper' ride on my mare in February 2008
and this was taken in September of last year
this is the most recent photo I have - taken April/May I think
Best of luck with finding a good instructor Nichole - mine is worth her weight in gold |

Great photo's Kash, well done.
Just to give you all an update on Ozzy....
Today we went in the trailer with a friend who was riding my old mare. We went to Epping Forest and had a lovely hack which included.....Are you ready for this....!
A motorway bridge over the M25, some very steep hills (which he was a little worried about going down at first), a field full of black cows (including the BULL...!) and negotiating many gates from on board. 
I can't believe how good he was. It took me nearly 2 years to get my mare to walk over the motorway bridge confidently and Ozzy just walked over it like he'd being doing it all his life... What a superstar. |

Wow Ozzy sounds a complete star! Pickle is being very good hacking out too she loves it and says schooling is no longer her thing ha ha. Here are a couple of pics in the school yesterday but she really wasn't keen on being in there!

Well my 16.2hh Anglo turned 3 in April, I am leaving her until she is 4 but it was my birthday last Friday and for nothing but purely selfish reasons.... I sat on her! lol
Got her in from the field, parked her up at the mountain block, flicked her leadrope over as mimick reins and got on her bareback in her headcollar. She stod there for scratches then I dismounted, she was so so good, didnt question it at all xx |
If he can't learn the way I teach;
Can I teach the way he learns? |

| Arabheaven - that's great news. Sounds like she is going to be another one that just accepts everything in her stride. Keep us posted on how you get on. |
