Aawww :3 He's so cute <3
Sorry, but I must be picky. Not quiiiiteeee square (back feet aren't even) but pretty close! Bosco NEVER EVER stands square haha.
Someone commented saying he'd be a good dressage horse... I think so too

Hehe believe me, this is the closest ever I've got Billy standing like this. Usually (If I do get him to halt, he's bloody strong!) he looks like he's either going to fall over because his legs are so jumbled up or he's going to have a wee
People keep on commenting(even my instructor!) that Billy would be a good dressage horse

Bosco's feet are like this...

Most of the time, anyway. It's a little better when you're on him, haha. And he ALWAYS pees when you ride him! He stretches out.. like this
C C
C C (of course still not even, he seems to know when he has to be square, i.e. a dressage test)
It doesn't matter if he isn't perfectly proportioned! Bosco's head is also massive, but that doesn't matter! They don't judge you on your horse's conformation, they judge how he goes in general and your control over him - and accuracy of the test.

Judge on...
"how he goes in general"
OK, we've failed there. Billy's the laziest cob on earth. I barely got him trotting three strides today.
"control over him"
He does not listen to what I'm saying. Apart from when I ask him to halt or slow down xD
"accuracy of the test"
Meh, I'm terrible for forgetting things! XD Will ride wonky circles too.
.:FAIL DRESSAGE:.

You'll get better with him! How long have you had him? Because so many of my friends have told me it took them 6 months to a year for them to click with their horse and really be able to 'get' them really well. Trust me, remembering horse things is soooo much easier than remembering other stuff haha. Circles will get better, especially if you do more canter and bending.

I've had him 5 and a half months? We're really coming on though :3
I'm so confident on the ground with him now. I never used to want to lead him or put his rugs on. Now I can lead him and drop contact and he'll just follow me. Sweet, isn't he? Bless

See, it just takes time. :3 The whole relationship on the ground is SO important to being able to ride him well and really understanding each other when you're riding. Just because you've made that connection on the ground I am %99.9999999 (forever repeating) sure that you'll be an epic team in time

Naaw bless thankies :'D I was worried at one point that I'd got a horse that was too big, that I should have got a 13.2 or something, but once I've been on him for a few minutes he doesn't feel too tall :'D Aww he's really good in our lessons thanks, we're both enjoying them so much!! His clip's blending in a bit now :3 And yup he's losing weight, just slowly :'P Sam's going to help me with lunging some day because I'm terrible at it lol xD Once I can lunge like HOMG (Horse omg) we'll get loads of weight off him!! Do you think he'll drop to 14.2 once he's lost all his weight? His butt is shrinking :L
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yep probs. and no way have you got to big- he'll shrink big time!! WE HAVE TO GO RIDING SOMETIME ITS KILLING ME!!

IKR? My instructor is going to bring along a (admittedly very simple) Dressage test soon, and I'd love to start showing him once he's a good weight, won't die after half a lap of the school in canter and I'm feeling confident on him :3 until then, shine on my little dressage boy
