I wish I had a longer torso,it's so much more elegant for the line of clothes! I can be a lot of things in my style,but "elegant" isn't one of them,sniff sniff. I'm just not built that way-too short and busty(and the sprinkling of freckles across the nose isn't conducive to elegance).

Hmm,now that you mention it,that would be peculiar on a horse!

Yeah, the classic equitation figure is long legs, short torso. That's why I never rode equitation! Handy hunter, working hunter, conformation hunter, and most recently combined training - where they do NOT judge the rider, just the horse! < g > My horse is extremely pretty and a good mover, so if the judges overlook the rider, all is well.
