Wordless Wednesday: Lease Ride on Riko

I'm a little perched at times because I'm still nursing my bruised tailbone, but I was happy that it didn't hurt too much while in the saddle and that I didn't have to 2-point for an hour! And, Riko was a good boy other than calling for his buddies a few times.

My favorite of all of them!

Equitation on the flat. She's not thrilled with life, I am concentrating really hard.😐

Equitation over fences (looks about 2'3"). You'll see a theme with this fence of me getting left behind, she's getting pretty ticked off with me...😬

Same fence...😣

Still the same fence...in case you were wondering, yes...I have always made god-awful faces while jumping, LOL 😧

Well, at least I sort of stayed with her, she might have appreciated a bit more release, but she looks happy enough! 😟 Look at those snappy knees, though!

Looks like I might have been a bit ahead of her for this one, but the loopy reins are a huge improvement, even if the jump looks a bit awkward 😞

Night jumper class, probably fence 1 or 2. Don't be fooled by the happy ears...she refused fence 3 three times and threw me over it to make sure it was safe! 😂
