He looks steady and he's got really good arm position. Think you've got a winner there. :-D

Do you think his stirrups might be a thought too long? Not that I would know - the guys on the ranch used to laugh at me because I rode so short. Since I started doing dressage my stirrups are longer (and our trainer makes us all work lots without stirrups at all, which seems to stretch my legs) but I still put 'em up two holes to jump.

Thanks! ~grin~

We've tried the stirrups both higher and lower, and so far, this length feels about right. It's still a work in progress, though.

I think so too about him! His position is better than mine in the pics I posted, though I was trying to sit Bay's spring-trot with no stirrups and collect him down at the same time ;~D (excuses) It has been too long since I took lessons or finessed my position at all.
