The ground was solid so walking was all we could do. I had someone mention that she doesn't step under with hind leg correctly and also issues with bending.

Any hints on how I can improve my riding or even on how she's going please, to give us a starting point until I start getting lessons?

I put both of these in slow motion so that can see better whats happening although can put one up of normal speed if required?

Keep your legs still, stop nagging with your heels at her sides, and go with her head movement with your hands, you are pulling at her mouth, it also looks like your sturipp {sp} leathers could do with letting down a hole. {thats me done short and sweet}

this is good advice.
other than pulling slightly, you have quite nice hands
 
I would agree with the above, its a good start but do stop nagging with your heels and back it up with your stick if needed :) also you contact was quite on and off try and maybe shorten your reins a little and keep a steadier contact.
