Is my jumping position as bad as I think it is?

[MerryMAL]

So back story:
Went from v. economical 14.2 to a 15.3 who loves to jump. For the first few months it was fine, but then randomly and I have no idea why I started getting really forward and ahead of her jumping, and had a totally rubbish position. Now I have had loads of lessons and instructor tells me it's "so much better" but I really don't think so.

Here is a facebook album of last sunday's stonar 95 and april 18th 2'9" hunter trial http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2062862&id=1422992878&l=8ede579a97
Please give honest cc, I have been staring at these photos for hours and still think I look awful, even though I no longer feel it being awful as I did when it was total sh*te!

think your stirrups need to go up quite a few holes.
Think that would help

i think ur being too hard on urself! I think u look pretty ok. Ur not strangling pony and ur lower leg doesn't seem to move too much. Im def no expert but i'd be happy if i jumped like that!!

Well, you're much braver than me!! You must be doing something right!!! Agree with worMY, maybe try stirrups a bit shorter.

Thanks guys, you've upped my confidence a bit there, will try the stirrups next time I jump!
