Well, breathe a sigh of relief -- the last photo! This would be my fave photo if only the halt were square, I just love Ri's expression. I should also warn you that in the next week I have some heavy-duty work commitments -- including some travel -- and I'm not sure if I'll be updating my blog regularly. I'm hoping to do at least some text updates...

That horse is one huge ball of MUSCLE! :P I love his expression too! :)
ReplyDeleteI almost looks like a moment of prayer. And square or not, Riley does look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have such a nice collection of photos from that show. They will be a treasure in years to come when Riley is doing Grand Prix!
Riley has the most lovely neck--and he's so built! Almost looks like a stud, what with all the muscling.
ReplyDeleteVery nice set of photos of the both of you.
Oh, Ri-Ri, you've both come so far! Love this picture! I feel so proud of you both.
ReplyDeleteI am a relatively new follower and I LOVED your photo series. I agree with everyone's assessment of Riley--he is gorgeous. I also agree that you look great--but you need to SMILE more. That first photo of "both of you smiling" was great.
ReplyDeleteRobert Dover said--and I'm paraphrasing--"When you ride down the centerline to halt at X, smile like you know you're on the best horse in the world." I think we should ride the entire TEST that way ;o)
No excuses, Stacey, because you do ride the best horse in the world. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely picture you to make! Do you have a brown dressage bridle?? Where did you find that?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, wonderful, relaxed expression he has! Love this photo, square or not!
