Saddle is too far forward. You are also sitting/rising to the wrong trot diagonal. As mentioned earlier, don't nag so much with the leg - imagine how you would feel if you were at the recieving end of it!

Work on transitions, without stirrups, circles, serpentines (sp) and that should help.

If you jump, remember that the getaway is as important as the approach - by practicing this now you'll be more prepared for jumping more than one fence at a time.

he's lovely

your saddle doesn't look a great fit for him ,it shouldn't be moving about quite so much and its not helping you being able to sit so well ,get it checked and i'm sure it will make a huge difference to you both as your already doing great
