My horse has a tendancy to rush at fences and i think my position has suffered as a result as im focused on slowing down and not folding neatly.As soon as I get transport I will be having some lessons.
Harshest of critiscism welcome!

First you two looks so pritty together!!! It may just be the shirt but it looks like your curving your back in the vids and looking down in some of the pics your hands look ok but could go further forward a bit. Keep having fun tho!!

you look good together, nice horse!

Think you are a bit infront of the movement...don't jump before the horse..
shoulders should not get in front of the knees. Plus your bum should go back rather than up in the air. Saying that your legs are in a good position and you look relaxed and happy ( I always look terified !)

I can only see the 1st and last jump as piccies appear dark on my screen. However, I would comment that IMO you are too far out of the saddle and too far forward for relatively small jumps. If the horse pecked on landing, you could be in trouble.

These are very dark, so it's a bit difficult to say, but you look as though you're lower leg is insecure, so you are tipping too far forwards and leaning on your hands... Try and work on keeping your lower leg in place, and fold your body so that you are in balance above your leg - try it standing still (it's harder than you think!).

That said, you don't look as though you interfere with the horse over the jump..

If i get in her way she tends to let me know...:rolleyes:
Lower leg creeping back is something that my YO mentioned to me when he saw me jump last week.
Sooner dad gets his new car with a towbar the sooner i can get some lessons!
