you look a little tense - bracing against the horse.

your leg postion looks secure which is very good for the amount of time you've been riding.
you are tipping forwards a little and look tense through the shoulder. relax your shoulders back and down so that your arms hang down. there is a bend at the elbow but i feel you need to relax a little more.

your basic position looks good to me though :)

I agree with Coss, you look a little tense but you have a good line through your arm to the bit. Well done, it looks as if you are doing well! :D

SOCKONMYHEAD- From photobucket, you know there are three options of bits to copy and paste, for one photo, well if you copy the bottom one I think it is, the picture will come up a nice size in the thread, it starts and ends with IMG ;)

Wish i could keep my heels down like you!!! i had an hour's lesson last night most of which was sitting trot without stirrups to try to improve my leg position. Ooh i'm paying for it today! ouch!.

Considering you've only been riding since February you look like you're doing incredibly well! Well done you! :)

You have the same naughty habit as me though, tipping forwards :o Something I get told off for a lot - worth concentrating on sitting tall and keeping your shoulders back :)
