Random things you notice in pictures of yourself riding

It's funny what you notice most when you look at pictures of yourself riding. Sometimes it's the horse that you see most - maybe he's rooting or he's hollow or he's perfect - and sometimes it's you. Sometimes it's totally random what you notice. So it's interesting to take note of the things that are weird or out of place, and think about what you can do to fix them. Here's what I see when looking at some of the pics from the dressage show this weekend.

1. I ride with my right leg braced and forward. Also, my chinstrap is loose.

2. He's not carrying his tail to the left anymore.

3. My new reins make black marks on his neck. I also need to take off the running martingale stops.

4. I make really funny expressions when I ride.

5. My new washable Horsewear jacket is too short for dressage.

6. This bridle does not fit him.

7. Paddy needs his own line of hair care products.

I mean seriously...

... don't you want your horse... 

... to have hair like this???
