Thyme is just 4 (June birthday) and was backed in Feb. She is obviously still very green. And my riding leaves a lot to be desired...I spent too long riding a pony so that I got into the habit of drawing my leg back and up to find the pony's side as my legs hung below his belly. And I'm STILL doing it :banghead:
But, I have decided to try a test anyway as a base-line. And here we are!

Any advice on what we need to work on. I think she lacks impulsion, is not tracking up in trot. Has an unsteady head carriage. A little slow to respond sometimes....And WHAT have I done to my stirrups! One is a good 2 holes longer than the other!! But she is willing and obedient. And halts nicely!
What do others think?
