After almost five years of saying that Shakira rears like a movie horse, but no photos to prove it, she kindly demonstrated her skill in the same part of the field that I was.

Let us suppose that the "average" horse would have equal proportions of all these parts. The degree to which each part in this poll deviates from the "average" size (20% of total) will determine how large or small that part of our horse will be (i.e a horse with only 10% in Legs will have legs half the size of the average horse).
I will draw a picture of the horse we make!

Love this photo my partner snapped from afar during jousting games practice today - we were playing with catching rings on a stick, since last year the motion and ribbons were a little too scary for her. She was perfect now, of course
#ride 13/100 was a lot of work but she was SO SO GOOD#stevie#we did a lot of trotting and cantering and lots of steering#also equally important: we practiced standing still and relaxing while the other horses trotted and cantered#i am so so proud

Ride 12/100 - we finally cantered!!! It was just amazing to finally get to this point. She has such beautiful uphill movement for a little downhill pony. No nonsense or bucking from her whatsoever. I couldn't be more proud <3

Her spring dapples are my favorite 鉂わ笍
#my horse#stevie#ride 11/100 was nice - so much trotting. she was exhausted#she was feeling a bit wiggly and kept pushing her shoulder out when i steered so i had a lightbulb moment#used the fence and my leg to get her hindquarters and we had one perfect step of haunches in

Went to Equine Affaire for the first time and got to meet so many different breeds in person for the first time. I want a drafty pony breed now 馃槶馃槶
#jo talk#i met a fell pony mare and loved her instantly...#also saw a lot of irish cobs. they're gorgeous but the mane and feather upkeep looks like hell

I always thought it was like an exaggeration when horse people would talk about how silly it was for anyone to think that riding a horse does not require any particular level of skill or balance or anything, or even that they "drive themselves" (???) but just the tags on the reblogs of that "can you ride a bike and/or horse" post from me alone are demonstrating how overconfident some people are in their (often entirely theoretical!) ability to stay on an alive and moving animal with a will of its own.
