ALl we need to do is take one day at a time, keep breathing and try and be happy. The rest will fall into place, but it's damn hard sometimes waiting for it to happen!sidetrackedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646438998655943806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952050352237571556.post-56227490359060762652008-08-21T05:45:00.000-07:002008-08-21T05:45:00.000-07:00Just goes to show you that when an Appy says they ...Just goes to show you that when an Appy says they can do it, They Can DO It! ;)<BR/><BR/>Possum sounds like such a fantastic horse. Glad you two are having such a great time together, and expanding your horizons!<BR/><BR/>As to "G".... Honey, been there, done that. Really seriously think about it, learn from it, and be ready to Live Your Life To The FULLEST. <BR/><BR/>Nuff said there. ;)Mrs. Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269132012512166439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952050352237571556.post-40191236199833555882008-08-20T17:56:00.000-07:002008-08-20T17:56:00.000-07:00Well it's too late for me to play now, but I was g...Well it's too late for me to play now, but I was going to say the same thing as everyone else...lol!!!<BR/><BR/>Glad that you are having a good time with Possum...at least your riding doesn't suffer when you are. It's always so easy to dole out relationship advice, so I won't, but let me just say that I hope "G" doesn't keep you hanging for too long...you seem like you deserve better! Again...easy for me to say when I am not the one having issues.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great jumping, and I hope that better things are on the horizon for you and your guy :)<BR/><BR/>MelanieMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682815635702122191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952050352237571556.post-8472848638395293232008-08-20T15:37:00.000-07:002008-08-20T15:37:00.000-07:00Ha!

I didn't notice the horse's front legs until you pointed it out, though. See?

One of my pet peeves is when you see pictures like this in ads or in horse magazines. This is not a good example to be promoting! Thanks for the continuing eye education :-)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and way to go, Possum!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098723884511551091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952050352237571556.post-40852161001129522962008-08-20T12:10:00.000-07:002008-08-20T12:10:00.000-07:00Just to help a little, she is jumping waaaaaay ahe...Just to help a little, she is jumping waaaaaay ahead of her horse. Her stirrups are too long as you can see she not only has a straight leg but that it has swung far past the girth. It looks like they got a close spot to this fence, due to the horses horrible looking front end. If not, this horse is a dangerous jumper with legs hanging like that. His front legs should be up and forward reaching and not trailing behind.sidetrackedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646438998655943806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4952050352237571556.post-18952559253548822542008-08-20T11:09:00.000-07:002008-08-20T11:09:00.000-07:00And it looks like her feet are too far into the st...And it looks like her feet are too far into the stirrups and heels are not down - about the first half?? My eye is not developed enough - is her face not too close to the horse's neck?

It is so cool that he can clear 4'3" without any trouble. Trotting over an 18" jump gives me a heart attack...<BR/><BR/>I hope things with G work out - what a rollercoaster. I feel bad for him because it sounds like he is missing out on a great girl (you!!) with all of this on and off stuff. I hope you don't lose too much time of your life waiting for him to get it together...<BR/><BR/>Ok - that picture - weak legs - the person's legs are waaaay back and it looks like she could fall pretty easily. She also looks way too forward on the horse's neck... just my guesses!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736592362765508427noreply@blogger.com
