  • its almost there, you should tilt forward a bit more your to high up, if you get what i mean


  • You look like your too high off the saddle for such a small jump.


  • Agree with AliH answer. You are up too high and need to move forward a little.


  • A bit high up as the the answers have said - you also need to try and look forward rather than to the side as this tends to unbalance the horse - it also means you can focus on the next jump!!


  • Blurry


  • he tucks nice but over does it. Try a white ground pole on the bottome of the jump.

    Your are behind the motion and your heel is completely wrong which is throwing you off.

    Work on your seat cause you almost have it. Pay attention to your heel

    Look up, if you look down thats where your going. You weigth shifts and it interfers with your horse and your position.

    You have nice release

    from the pic it looks like your hads are faulty however. Remember to keep your thumbs upward and not to the side

    I would like to see you a little closer to him and not so high in the air.

    keep practicing you'll get there. also take what i said with a grain of salt because the picture is awfully blurring. Try using a camera with a sports setting next time.


  • You need to look straight ahead, not to the side as your balance is off by doing this, and so is your horse's as a result.

    Your leg needs to be longer - drop the stirrups a few holes as you look too hunched up your knee is tight. This is tilting you forward, throwing off your centre of balance. With your stirrups down a few holes, your legs shouldn't swing back as much.

    I'd like to see your back straighter too, you're very hunched up but this will be as you are having to compensate for the short stirrups.

    I wouldn't advise jumping in that wet either - it is very easy for the horse to slip and fall.

    A clearer pic would be more helpful lol. Good luck with the lessons.
