Not-so-Wordless Wednesday

The "warm up" jump.  Don't hate on my ghetto chairs and poles; gotta make my limited resources work for me.

So, folks, if I have him canter in instead of trotting, will his take-offs get more coordinated?

Artsy fartsy shot;  Chris was my photographer.  Thanks, dear.

Oh, hey there bareback pad.  I see where I could connect stirrups to you, but I'm happier without.

Yes, I fully plan on focusing on my elbows next time.  That just looks silly.  But hey!  My head is up and forward!

Laughing at Chris.

Lopsided Liz.  Evident from my cock-eyed elbow.  

And I suppose my elbows are now far too hyper-extended.  At least I never jerked on his mouth?  Sigh.

Taking a break; making Christopher ride.

Aaanndd then he decided to mock me with a stick horse.

Stan: "You want me to do WHAT?!"  The fences were necessary as he would blatantly ignore the barrels otherwise.

I like to call this "the swerve"

The first fly-over.  Can you tell I'm just as surprised?
