Mclain Ward clinic - gymnastics 

You and Nikki look fantastic! And this clinic seems so cool!

you're a beautiful rider!!! lol every single time that horse whinnied i jumped!!!

Thanks, it was good, really good learning experience.

I wear the brace because it reduces pain from my scoliosis... it's not really a cosmetic thing. There are a lot of exercises you can to do strengthen the muscles in your back, which will help you hold your position more than a brace will. I suggest doing those - I do a couple of different exercises to keep my back and core really strong, which helps.

Thanks, I can't wait for tomorrow!

As you get stronger, you can add weights to your ankles and hold barbells in your hands... The first one, which works your back muscles, you need to lie on your stomach with your arms out in front of you. Lift up your arms and legs and hold for 5 seconds. Relax. Repeat. I usually do 30 reps. The second one works your core. Lie on your back with your knees to your chest. Straighten 1 leg and the opposite arm (put the arm behind your head), hold, switch, repeat. Hope that helps!

Thank you! I love her too =]

I think I would sell my soul to ride in a McLain Ward clinic...

Thank you!

your position is amazing. I'm so jealous! congrats

aww such a pretty horse and you have amazing equitation by the way! =]

@peacebeauty101 No, you're correct. I wear a brace for my scoliosis when I ride.

You guys look awesome!

I know you've heard this before, but you're such a lovely, fluid rider. Nice job. Looks like a fun clinic! :]

Thanks!

Sure, no problem. Thank you =]

I wish I could ride that well without having ridden in weeks...actually I wish I could ride as well as you period!

She is a Thoroughbred and uses a flat seat CWD (SE01 model). :)

May I ask what breed your horse is? and What saddle you are riding? I have a TB that has wide shoulder span like a Warmblood, and I'm looking for a good jumping or dressage saddle. Thank you. You are an amazing rider and your horse has great scope!

ahh Emily this is amazing! and Mclain Ward is amazing too :) oh yeah, and of course Nikki the Wonder Mare looks beautiful as always.

Thanks! It is!

Thank you! =]

this is soooo cool :)

Thank you =]

Thank you! I did ride this week - I hack horses at a barn out by my school - but I didn't jump, and it certainly isn't the same as riding Nikki!

Thanks! It was.

Thank you =] Yes... that horse was persistent, to say the least.

Oh, my god I would cut off my, thumb to be in one of his clinics!!!!

@2010tvgirl Thank you.

haha, this is her riding.... A series of jumps or grids is called gymnastics in horse riding.

@chicklette221 Thanks!

Old Salem Farm in North Salem, NY.

Very, very pretty

In riding, working through grids is called gymnastics. No need to be rude.

I prefer not to answer financial questions.

HAHAH

Thank you!
