My jumping position is terrible! has anyone got any advice? (Had to share it from youtube cos I am on my phone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs2osmG24Og&feature=youtube_gdata_player )

I am no expert but it loooks as though your lower leg posttion is far to forward so making you lean back

I think it your position is far from terrible! However it looks like your saddle may be tipping you back so might be worth getting it checked by a professional saddle fitter.

At least you're not massively up out of the saddle and throwing your arms to the ears. Your position means that you are unlikely to come off over the shoulder if the horse stops

Haha, I got my saddle fitted by the saddle fitter,it was so hard to find a saddle that fitted him! The problem with my jumping position the take off and landing

It may fit your horse but that doesn't mean it ms necessarily the best fit/shape for you. If you take a look at your position at the end in the video, your body is tilting back causing your leg to push forward. Just an observation- might be worth trying different styles.
