I was torn between posting these photos from the NWMHC Portia Kalinka clinic/show on the Photo Gallery or here...I chose the Photo Gallery at this URL:
http://www.miniaturehorsetalk.com/index.php?showtopic=115551, but here a couple of them:
I would appreciate any comments/suggestions/critiques anyone may have.
I'll say right up front that Mingus usually carries himself much better these days than these photos show -- head down, pretty muich on the bit. Between general excitement and strange harness and bit, he kept his head up and back hollowed out -- but still I'm very pleased with his progress. A little more work and proper head/neck position should become second nature.
I, on the other hand, have no excuse. My hands are horrible in all photos. It didn't seem like it at the time, but these show I was throwing away the reins and one hand was continually higher than the other. Obviously, it was a winter wollie event and turnout was not judged, lol!
I'm not sure if you can tell with all of that hair, but he is NOT wearing a check and IS wearing breaching. Although this event was aimed primarily at breed showing, everyone involved respected that our interest is more in ADS-style driving and had no objections.
Anyway...I'd love any and all comments.
