I love the video. it shows how her legs are right under her hips. and heels are down and she is swinging from the hips. forward and allows the horse forward movement with her hands but has contact with is mouth. she is a great looking rider and that horse is amazing. i think he is young and not quite sure of his ability. and obviously does not like water on his toes. lol play it a few times to really see how the two point is and how you can keep your seat out of the saddle and still remain in motion with your horses body motion.

Here, let me talk to Diamond. Hey! Diamond! Your mom wants a ride once in a while. Its not asking too much to haul her around from time to time without scaring the beejeebers out of her ya know. After all, if all you do is eat and never do much work your mom just might find another horse who isn't nearly as spoiled and you know what that means. A big NOthing. And we all know you don't want that. So give your mom a break and be a good girl, okay? There, that oughta do it

Wow just getting caught up on everything now!!! I think it's great that you went out and played with obstacles. I think the more you do it the more Diamond will realize that she won't have to over compensate and jump things. If you want to learn how to jump thought I would recommend it so your body can naturally react when she does something silly like that. But a lot of people have already given tons of good points!! If you want tips at doing a two point feel free to ask I would be more then willing to share my knowledge Also if you want to practice I suggest a small x rail or even better practice going over a single pole on the ground can help teach diamond she can go over things without having to over react Start at the walk, when she's comfortable trot and if you feel comfortable you can even try it at the canter. I definitely love your stairs though!! I want to build some now LOL As for the video, man that girl handles that horse so well! You can tell he's a chicken on silts and she still manages to get him through everything. It's actually really nice to see!

I was happy to see that she didn't get upset with him, for just being a horse. She stayed calm, and he was able to calm down a little bit. Just think of what they will be able to accomplish tomorrow.
