Hmm, doesn’t look too bad to me. None of them are behind the vertical, so the classical dressage keyboard worriers/still photo analysts should be happy. The one on the left appears to have reins made of silk, or something. The bay horse with socks in the middle is in a lovely uphill balance, and they all have plenty of suspension in their gaits.

Here’s where I’m confused…if we have such influence over judges, why aren’t we using it to inflate our own scores? I would like a 76% please at my next show.
Have you paid your membership dues to the Bathrobe Bunch of Online Biddies? As long as you’re up to date, simply put in your request, along with the competition date and name/contact info for the judge, and I’m sure the Special Ops division will get right on that.
I can do an interpretive dance on piaffe/passage transitions!! I think bourbon will help that dance, but I can’t guarantee I won’t spill any dips off the table. Or even know where the table is! We’ve got you covered, @BigMama1.
I have a complaint somewhere over in Off Topic (might be in the Vent thread) about people who seem to think any word ending in “s” must have an apostrophe.
I don’t even currently have a horse! And the riding mower belongs to my boyfriend, who I must say cuts a dashing figure as he maneuvers it expertly around the confines of the front and back yards. He bought it new and put all the miles on it himself; no schoolmaster mower for him.
