Me: I'm real bad for hunching and I do this weird rolling thing with my back when I jump that I hate, I have a bit of a hot seat, and I sometimes get frustrated. I've evented to 95 and won, and had wins and placings at level 2 dressage as well. I consider myself to be a decent rider, but nothing special.
My horses:
Petal - 18yo grey mare, 14.1hh, schoolmaster eventer and dressage horse. I evented her to 95 last year and should've won 5 of 6 events(on the dressage each time)but due to making practically every mistake possible in the jumping phases we only won one and came 4th at another. She's amazing, I can do anything with her, jumped her 1m tackless the first time I tried, she's a really special horse. I lease her from a friend
Leo - 5yo bay gelding, 15.3ish. My baby horse who I bought as an unbroken 4yo and broke in and backed mostly myself. Had him a year a couple of days ago, he's still green but learning all the time. He has a bit of a rearing issue when he gets nappy or when he's sore but we're working through it. He's just started out eventing and going awesome, love him to bits even though he's a pain in the arse sometimes.
Harry - 17hh-ish 6yo chestnut gelding, my mums horse. He's probs the most difficult horse I've ever ridden, he's not dirty or naughty exactly, but he's hot and strong and sensitive and its a bit of a mission to keep control at times! He likes to go crest high in his flatwork and is learning to jump at the moment. I think he'll be a really talented horse when he grows into his brain a bit!
So yeah, thats my life. Nothings ever boring with these 3 :L -

10. he loves the tears of orphans
11. he has better flatwork when I'm jumping
12. we struggle at prep dressage lolz
13. I haven't had more fun on any other horse
14. he doesn't know how to gallop
15. I've given him like a million nicknames and I use them all the time.
And because one of them is a lie (orphan tears holla)
