What's right and wrong with this pic 1
Well...Although Keshi appears framed take a close look at my legs. Way to far forward. This pushes my seat to the back of the saddle. This in turn pushes my horse onto the forehand...Can you tell he is on a downward slope? In addition my shoulders are rounded forward and my head is slightly angled down..again..forcing the horse onto his forehand instead of his hind where his engine is. My contact is good and consistent with his mounth and he does appear to have a swinging back which are all good things.

Scott you are correct...unless I was asking for an extension (which was not succesful!) If I would simply get my head up that would fix both the shoulder problem and the hand problem at the same time!!
Ash - here is the key to know if a horse is hyperflexed at least while in motion. Look at Keshi's Nostrils. they are pointing straight down to his front extended foot. This means he is not hyperflexed. If they were pointing between his chest and that foot he would be hyper flexing. It is a really fine line when framing a horse.

And I do believe your shoulders are rolled forward and your hands are in front of the withers just like in my picture :)
