Jumping position help please...

I'm hoping TarrSteps sees this and gives me one of her amazing tips to solve the problem, but I'll take any advice! :D

My problem is I do everything too early over a fence - I'm folding before the horse is really jumping and then I'm sitting up as we go over the fence which means by the time I'm landing, I'm leaning back like it's a 10ft drop the other side and my lower leg is shooting forwards. So I'm always having to gather my reins back up after landing as I slip them to sit back without socking her in the chops.

I really thought about it whilst jumping tonight, but it just doesn't seemed to have helped :(

This is a video from tonight, it's probably better than normal on this too as I was concious of it.

I had to watch it twice - bit of a difference between 1 and 3 :p

My new instructor says that I sit up too quickly after the fence too :rolleyes:
Tell your Dad/OH to have a go and they'll soon stop whacking it up :D
