@Kecko: Yes, you can jump with dressage saddle. But it doesn't necessary allow your leg(especially the knee) the space and support needed to really go into good two point. Like if you compaire all purpose/jump saddle with dressage saddle, you notice how the flap position and knee roll is different. How ever usually for small jumps it's okay, at least better than western saddle.

Well, bitless is not approved 'bit' for dressage(at least where I live it isn't). So you get disqualified if you ride with one.
@Forever young: What happened with Chilli? Wasn't she your new horse? Or the horse before her, Tucker?

Went to see Heta today. <3 My shoukder only disagreed with the car ride, but othervise didn't really hurt. Heta got her late christmas treats(I managed to get her from the paddock with one hand yay), 3 carrots and one big red apple. Even if we did put them in how food bucket, Heta saw my mom put them there so of course she was all over my mom after that, trying to find some more. lol After she got her treats we did a short walk to the lake and then I free lunged her on the area for bit. She was nice and forward for my luck(probably due to the cooler weather), since I couldn't have run around after her anyway. She was moving nice too, but since mom had the camera only few good shots. >_< I get to see most of the usual people there too so that was also nice. Weather was amazing too, sunny and about -10C or little warmer as it was -6C when we left. Though oddly I think we have slightly more snow at home than there was on the yard. Usually it's the opposite. XD Over all I'm super happy. ^^ And my mom promised me she can maybe start driving me there once a week. l also semi-joked I could get on Heta and my mom could lead us around. XD I might only agree to that if I get reins to hold... I do not trust my mom with horses too much as she's too 'soft' with them very often.
Beware of picture spam bit later.
