am i moving too much? should i try to just move my hips and not my upper body?

okay and (sorry im just so sensitive and i hate myself like that xP) but when you critique me , can you try to point out somthingi seem to be doing well???

you dont have to but its appreciated. :D

Well, I thought you looked great. As you were cantering away you looked very nice, but it was not until you came around into the camera view that I saw the air between your bottom and the saddle!! You seem to be relaxed as you say, but if you sat deeper in the saddle and released your back a little bit more, what happens then!!!???

Other than that, I thought you looked great!! Keep it up and good luck!!

The second video looked like the perfect position for canter to me, you were following the horse's movement with your hips and back, it was cool! :D

I'd try to bend at the elbow a bit more, that'll help you sit taller and allow you to give the impression of stillness, you seem to be fighting your arms, they are pulling you forward,

thanks a lot guys, if anyone else has anything to say, say it!! :D

hi horsedolls,
in video nr1: i think thats what i look like in the canter, i can feel my bum
lifting out the saddle,
in video nr2: you look much more in control, your arms are in a better position than in nr 1.
but you look good overall!:)

maybe the horse has more balance on the second rein compared to the first making it a much smoother ride on the second rein compared to the first!

looking good in both though

[horsedolls]

thank so much! :D

Keep your elbows in and RELAX!

Appart from that looking pretty good!
