OT: Horse Riding Apparel Photo

So there's a few of you who are anxiously awaiting a photo of me in my riding apparel I spent so much time getting here and there!! WELL........HERE IT IS!!!!!!! http://www.geocities.com/stacey_mi_1959/images/mount01.jpg That's me, my new "show helmet" (used-picked up on Ebay for 40.00), my half chaps (brown) that I also picked up new on Ebay for 20.00 and my riding pants (breeches) that were 30.00.........on Ebay also....and my gloves, also on Ebay for 15.00. That's me getting ready to get onto Junior yesterday for my lesson. I'm enjoying this alot and just have to say that it is NOT easy........I am learning English, which is more difficult to sit, and feel than Western. I tell you what, my muscles got a great work out yesterday!!! Thanks for letting me share!!! Stacey W

Judy thats called a "mounting block" and all good riding schools use them. Junior is 14.2 hands high and stepping up is how we are taught to mount. Not because of weight, but because this is how we are taught. Sw
