Pony pictures!
It wasn't entirely sunny today, but Mike took a few pictures with his phone of us with the new side saddle.
GB is definitely more comfortable and forward with it, which is good, and I think I did ok....
(Photos would, of course, be better if it wasn't slightly dull, and if the pictures weren't of a dark horse carrying a dark-clothed rider, against mostly dark-green background, as with this user pic, for example!)
It is, of course, very important to be elegant and lady-like at all times when riding aside....
These are about the best we managed, showing the two sides:
(I really need to clean my riding boots. I do *try* to only wear them for riding, but there always seems to be some reason (such as another horse's arse) why I need to walk over thegrassmud when I'm leading him to the school.)
I'm quite pleased with the effect of the nice new saddle cloth: the colour looks well on him, and with the saddle. Of course, the saddle being brown means that if I were ever to show him using it I'd have to get, sigh, a new bridle....
And one of Mike, just to prove that he does occasionally, briefly, ride GB too!

The theory is that you grip the top head with your leg, and use the lower one only in emergencies / when jumping (hence it's called the 'leaping head'). I'm not yet up to that, and have a habit of gripping it all the time to make myself feel safer, but we'll get there....
