My lower leg always seems too far back, and my toes stick out when i jump. However, it is only on Ronnie

On Jack it is fine, I was wondering if anyone had a tips that could help me have a more secure lower leg on him.

He isn't the sort of horse that you can just sit on and concentrate on yourself.. he can be spooky towards jumps, although he is 10x better now!

Thank you

To be honest I think you look fine! It is probably just because he jumps differently, or maybe the result of a different saddle. However you look balanced and in tune with him so I wouldn't get overly concerned about it.
 
Maybe it just seems worse to me because I have the to pics to compare? I dunno... probably just being paranoid! lol

Wouldnt be because its a bigger fence and your thinking you need to give more with your upper body ? Therefor your throwing your lower leg back .

Try a few smaller fences on your chestnut and really concentrate on your lower leg .

I can see what you mean, I do try hard not to jab the in the mouth, so maybe just forget about my legs? I'll have a go at some smaller jumps and really concentrate on my leg.

zigzag... I plan on doing this year! He started to get excited about his jumping, Taken him enough time!! haha.


Thanks guys
