lol textwall.
Slapped together, obviously, but hopefully it helps on some scale! I'll add to this description when I get the time- feel free to ask anything though, I'll try to get around to answering 8D

EDIT:
Holy Moley guys, I was not expecting this.

First of all, a super thank you to :iconconstantine2530: for suggesting this for a DD!

I'm glad to hear this tutorial clicked for some of you!

A couple people in the comments bought up a few other things (besides my lacking spelling lol), good things to keep in mind:

I am certainly no purveyor of historical knowledge about knights and knighthood, so please refer to Andaltno's comment here for more researched material in regards:

Whitehound brings up another good subject in this comment about horse-tails, and PONIES! something I neglected (don't worry, I still love you, poines!):

I'm glad that I've finely found a tutorial that presents proper hoof information....and illustrates the point of riders! It's sounds like you're an experienced rider yourself who understands how to sit on the horse properly (including where to put your feet in the stirrups).

I have not a single negative thing to say about any of this tutorial, except for one thing that I may perhaps be alone in, but feel I should point out anyway.

In regards to illustrating that the person will only have the balls of their feet in the stirrup, this is not personally how I find it comfortable to ride and I feel more comfortable having my feet more like the first 'incorrect' illustration, otherwise I feel like my feet are slipping out. It could be any number of factors that could contribute to this, including incorrect length of the stirrup, but it is none the less how I feel comfortable riding, and therefore how someone's illustrated character may feel comfortable riding as well.

But otherwise this is wonderful reference, and I thank you for making it.

ok... noticed a couple flaws. Reins* not reigns. And also, bareback doesnt have anything to do with the bridle, bit or reins. It has to do with the back. hence... bareBACK

Hahaha, so cool. It's very useful.
You're right about drawing horses without getting to know them. But doesn't matter if people draw them or not, they should know a bit of these beautiful creatures. There are some kids in South African cities that think horses lay eggs:rofl:
