Hey guys! I really need help with figuring out what I should try to improve when riding and jumping especially. Any critiques are appreciated, please be harsh! Lol. Here is a picture of me and my OTTB jumping :) |

Looks pretty good, you are just to far out of the saddle, you look like your jumping a 4' fence not a 2'3" fence.sit back and let the horse jump up to you, don't you jump for the horse. |

Yeah, just sit up and make sure your toes are in. Considering the maybe 2 foot size of the jump your two point is a bit over exaggerative |

Push your butt back and lift your chest. It looks pretty dang good, and that's about all I can come up with position-wise. Horse-wise, your horse is overjumping (obviously lol) which makes your job a lot harder. maybe try setting up some grids or just doing lots of tiny jumps until it's no big deal anymore. While overjumping LOOKS nice, it is not fun to ride and does not do your position any favors. |
