First Canter Jump! OTTB Critique

This is my OTTB Behr and I over our very first canter jump (and one of me telling him “good boy!”).  He came off the track in October and has been coming along great. I was hoping for a critique on both of us. I think I overcompensated with my upper body in an effort not to catch him in the mouth, next time I’ll let him jump up to me. :) Any other feedback would be much appreciated!

This is my pony Odie! I have owned him for 10 years, and now at the age of 25 he is happily retired. He was my first horse, and he will always be my favorite. =]

WORST!

Schooling one of my trainers old sale horses. Not our finest moment!

First ride on my new OTTB

Not really a critique, just wanted to share a picture of my first ride on my new OTTB, Behracuda. I’ve had him for almost two weeks now, and he is such a good boy. He has a great personality, and tries so hard. Very excited to be working with him. =]

 

Here’s the link to my first post about him a few weeks ago. http://www.judgemyride.net/conformation-ring/ottb-conformation-critique.html

OTTB- Conformation Critique

I was hoping to get a conformation critique on my new horse. He is a 7 year old OTTB who we plan to re-train for hunters. He does have old osselets which you can see in the picture (front right), but he is 100% sound on them and has been for about 5 years. He also has not raced in a year. I just got him this past Saturday, and he is the sweetest guy- has the personality of a giant puppy =] Any feedback at all would be great!

Critique Please

Just hoping to get a critique on my horse and I. We have been working on gymnastics this week trying to improve my position and his form a bit, and today we were working a bounce to a one stride. This was the third jump in the exercise, and admittedly not our best attempt   (he knocked the rail on landing). We redeemed ourselves the next few times through, but didnt get any photos of that. Anyways, any critiques on him or I are welcome! =]
