 Dressage is an Olympic sport, and takes years to master. This amateur lady works just as hard as the pros, and isn't it funny how owners always seem to resemble their pets?

I like this photo although even with it being lower level dressage it doesnt portray this discipline to me. Palominos are always best shot with good lighting because they have a beautiful golden glow when the light is right. Because the side nearest the camera is in shadow it makes the image look a bit flat and this would also affect the focus. I think the crop is fine but would have liked to see the horse a bit softer on the bit.

The rider would ride better if she relaxes. Trust me I ride.

This is almost really good. I think that the subject is just a bit over exposed and there is something about the framing that I can't put my finger on. I like the colors and the way the background has receeded.

This shot would have been soo much nicer in my opioion had the rider been dressed for dressage and the horse was on the bit. The idea of the shot and title was brilliant but I don't think you have done it justice - sorry
