Not sure what is wrong with my face on them all! I need to stop throwing myself forward over all the fences me thinks..

Any CC welcome!

What a lovely set of photo's - well done!

Great photo's, you both look like you're concentrating hard!

One thing that might help with your jumping ahead is to shorten your stirrups a lot - they look a better length in the XC photos, but I'd be tempted to go up another hole or two from that length. You'll be able to keep your lower leg underneath you as a good base of support then and (hopefully) won't feel the need to try and jump it for Foxy - she's more than capable of jumping it herself . Really try and concentrate about sinking your weight into your heels and keeping the knobbly bit of your ankle at the girth.

They do look long don't they but same length as XC. I tried putting them up a whole but they felt too short (knee popping over front of saddle).
