A couple of weeks ago we went down to Addington Manor Equestrian Centre in Buckinghamshire for some unaffiliated dressage. Unfortunately the video camera batteries were flat, which was a shame because Smem always thinks it looks much more laboured than it actually does! It would do her the world of good to be able to actually see what the judge does.Zorya's got lovely paces and with a bit more practice and some lessons I'm sure they could become really accomplished.
I think a dressage saddle might help as Smem tends to ride quite short. Not quite as short as one of her friends who wants to become a jockey. The pics from holiday of Luti riding Ruby with ultra-short stirrups are hilarious. Talk about tom-tit on a rice pudding!
(for those of you unfamiliar with the expression it means something very little sitting on something very large!)

You're right about the video. It really does help to see what the ride looks like.
Thanks for the explanation of the expression. I need to ride in a show.
