This is Choice and I... its from earlier this year. Like... January I believe it was, so it was a while ago. I know most of the faults I have, but I'd like to hear from you all anyways. Here they are:::

Trot

Thats it!
Oh, I'll get some more pics when I ride her tomorrow. Some ones that are actually recent...

She's a very cute horse.

I would start by raising your hands so your elbows make at least a ninety-degree angle, and that might help her collect more. Shorten your reins and play with her mouth to see if she'll come up and back, then tuck with just a little bit of curb.

Other than that, you two look awesome ;D Can't wait to see more pics.

Yeah, I've been holding my hands up higher lately and she's been doing really good. Shes been coming back to me and collecting nicely. I forgot to bring my camera out this morning when I rode her. I will next time though.
Thanks!
