CC needed please! Honest opinions please, I don't really mind what you say, again as others have said this isn't me out for a 'oh you have a pretty pony and your great' Really need to know where im going wrong and how i can get better!

i havent watched all the videos but at 1st you seemed a little behind the movement but got better. Your position is quite good but have 'motorbike' hands(although cant tell really with black gloves on but looks that way) and you need to give more with your hands when you jump.

Doesn't look much wrong with that to me TBH.
Maybe you drive a little with your seat sometimes, a little forward in your body on take off but I'm splitting hairs.
I'd work on keeping your elbows in I do that myself I look like I'm about to take off sometimes! Try keeping your shoulder up and giving with your hands more - some one in a Clinic - think it was Ginny Elliot, told me to imagine there is a target that I have to headbutt above the fence. That is helpful to keep you looking up and out rather than collapsing over the whither.
Like I said looked good to me, horse was jumping happily for you I am being picky as you asked for CC.

You do seem to be throwing your body back just before the fence and could give a bit more with your hands. Other than that you look pretty good; position over the fence looks good.
Pretty pony, BTW

I actually think you are very good! I think you have nice quiet hands in the videos I looked at.

 

[longtalltilly]

thanks, I do think I drive abit too much coming into the fence! (I think its my way of thinking he will take off)

 

[RunToEarth]

I do the same as you, saddle humping I like to call it. It is very hard, especially when you don't have a horse with that perfect, easy going rhythm to just sit there and not fidget about with your bottom!

looks very good to me, i think all i'd say is to try to drive with your legs not quite so much with your seat on the last few strides, in case it hollows him a little, and perhaps give a tiny bit more with your hands in the air, but those are very minor niggles.

I like your horse! Nice attitude and nice jump. (Ernie?) And you look quite well.
Just one comment: IMHO, you need to “organize” your horse after the jump. That’s why your arrival to next fence is not 100% accurate.
Work on organizing both IMMEDIATELY after the jump.
When competing in SJ, fences come one after the other, with little time to collect and organize, and you both must be ready for an incoming demand in a short period of time after the last effort.
When doing flatwork, train in reduced spaces and, make lots of transitions and turns; that will keep your horse obedient and alert.

Cool thanks UncleJr! I do tend to get to the next fence still recovering from the last fence!!! Yes thats Ernie!
