Please give me any helpful pointers! I feel like when I ride, my shoulders lean too far forward. Thanks

Saddle size
July 30, 2012 By 10 Comments
Anyone can answer this really, but I recently-ish got a saddle. It’s a 16″ PJ lite (but it measures like a 15.5). I am a petite person and at 20, I’m not going to grow anymore. I’m about 5’2″. I can fit 4 fingers between me and the end of the cantle (I’ve heard different things, like there should be 5 finger’s width to just 4, etc), and it is the first saddle I have ridden in where my knee actually reaches the knee rolls.
Anyway, sometimes I look at pictures and cringe because it looks really small and others it looks fine. Opinions? If needed, I can upload more.

This is the horse I am leasing now. He’s only 4 and is an Appendix. He’s real cute. Not really posting for a critique, but if you want, you can. We haven’t started working on framing and getting on the bit yet, this was just a moment from a video where he had nice self carriage on a loose rein.
Any guesses on how tall he is?

A horse I used to lease, Savage, and me. The top photo is from an A event at the Carolina Horse Park, and the second photo was our 2nd A event at the Ark.

This is several years old. Looking at it now, there are so many mistakes and in all honestly, I think it’s bad, but I like to see my progression as an artist.
Tom Hiddleston from War Horse speed drawing

Not quite horse related but close. Tom Hiddleston played Captain Nichols in the movie “War Horse.”
It takes me forever to complete a drawing, so this is only a small part of the process. :] Excuse the really crappy photo at the end. iMovie always wrecks the quality of photos.

Something I did a while ago. Half of the time I’m working on something outside of the frame. Sorry! haha. I had never done this before!
Whenever I work on a drawing, it is an extremely tedious process of building up a certain shade or texture or what have you. For this drawing, I completely reworked the face and eye (not included in the video), and started from the ground up once more. I can spend hours on one small section of the drawing until I feel it is right. I drive myself crazy!
