Scrolling through the Facebook notifications this morning I saw someone had shared some of my photos, quoting this thread as the source.
The first response was "Amazing job. Bravo
", which initiated this response:
"Good morning.
HHHHHEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUU Sorry!! Or Do You See That There Is Great Work ??
It's Just Out Of The Box !! There Is No Work Done !!
In Addition The Rider Is Very Poorly Positioned !!"
Yes, it's a fact that Dunbar can't sit correctly on Cisco. His legs are too long for the stirrup straps.
DID faked it by not having him sat down in the saddle.
I've pushed the saddle back as far as it can feasibly go, and lengthened the stirrups to the last hole. There's not enough strap left to make another hole and still have it pass through the buckle.
So I've had to fake it like DID. He has to be up out of the saddle for his legs to be anywhere close to a normal position. Since you can see daylight between him and the saddle I've masked it by putting some black cloth under him.
(I replaced the original photo because I hadn't realised the bit had fallen out of Cisco's mouth, which often happens when adjusting the reins).
