OK- riding position was the second thing I studied about my photo (after checking out the beautiful scenery!). 
So, let me know what you guys think of my position...Photo number CFOA0324. (really- I can handle the constructive criticism)
I take dressage lessons, and like everything I see except my lower leg position. I have struggled for years in the Desoto saddle to correct this. I almost didn't want to use this saddle in the mountains at Tevis for that very reason. Tough to get the leg forward...
But, George and I completed, so I'm going to assume he didn't have a problem with my position! He had no soreness in the back at the end (as a matter of fact he got all "A"'s at the finish).
