Hahaha! You know, the black coat and helmet cover a multitude of sins and mutations… 
This one is a touching photo of horse and rider sharing a quiet moment of camraderie.
Cactuskate…I was wondering when someone would notice my naked hands and oh-so-noticeable safe helmet! As to the gloves, I brought some, but I was so hot that as a nod to the fact that it was a schooling show, I did my own spur-of-the-moment attire revisions and ditched them. I usually do not ride with gloves --can’t stand the feel of them --unless it’s really cold!
And after seeing the photos, I’ve decided that it’s time to get a special shows-only helmet! I wanted to pick one up before, but life was way too hectic to even have a moment to scratch my butt.
And Jair–he cracks SO hard over a jump (again, when he goes over rather than through) that I sometimes have to hang on for dear life. It is time for me to get back into jumping lessons! My older eventer/jumper/games/do anything horse is fun to jump, but I got spoiled by his smoothness.
Thank you all for the compliments! Do feel free to offer other critiques–I can take the heat, I think!

AHEM. Does this mean that in future photos of Gorgeous Hobson-the-Horse we will see Hobson-the-Person wearing a NON-APPROVED “show” hat?!?
Please, your horse looks so good, you look so good. Why ruin the picture with a dumb hard hat?
Need we bring out the baseball bats and war stories about dressage riders who got creamed while not wearing an approved helmet because “I’m riding on the flat.” 
Friends don’t let friends ride 4 yo TB’s in a non-approved helmet!

Oh, and Cactuskate, to answer your other question, our next show outing will be Nov. 5 to a local pleasure show that our pony club is putting on. We’ll do the english under-saddle classes (that will really blow his mind, to be able to play in the ring with so many new friends!), probably a beginner-level over-fences class, and depending on how pooped I am from having to sit on the whinnying, wheeling beast, perhaps a few games.
Gee Suzy, how imaginative you are–a two-headed green hunch back? I actually pictured Hobson as a professorial looking person wearing a gray wool sweater vest…(Hobson—perhaps you do own a gray wool sweater vest 
???) and Hobson the horse was a solid bay. Wow…whatever compelled me to clarify…how boring is that?..let’s use your Hobson Mutant Ninja Turtle idea after all…
He looks lovely and so do you in those fancy white breeches! Will you be doing dressage or combined training down the road?
