hi, please watch my vieo and give me some tips on how i can improve, before my competition next weekend :) please dont be to harsh though i know im not a very good rider :L
 
Looks good from the first few mins I've seen. Just a word of advice though; as your arena is much bigger than the standard 20x40, practice said test in a marked out sized arena (use poles or dressage boards). This often helps with pratice, as don't know about anyone else, but I always go 'god, this is a tight arena', and always seem to catch me out!
 
thanks :) we do try to put poles out sometimes but it takes quite a long time to set up and i was only giving him a quick ride :)
 
You're not a bad rider at all!

I would say try and relax your shoulders a little and bring them back slightly in trot.
Also think about drawing your elbows into your sides, that will bring your hands up slightly and think about holding wine glasses, making sure you keep the wine in the glasses - keep your thumbs on top!

Good luck in your comp x
 
Looks like he's going nicely, lovely looking too! :)

Perhaps bring your lower leg back under a little in some of the trotting/cantering bits.
 
thank you soo much for your feed back il will practise tomorrow and try to remember all of it :)
 
not a bad over all picture. It might be just the angles of video but it looks like your saddle is too far forward and is tipping you back slightly, this is making it difficult for you to keep your lower leg back.

Saddle should sit behind the should blades
 
i know just didnt have time to take it off he doesnt really need just sometimes when he gets excited :)
 
thanks for all your comments went riding and practised using all your tips i think it made a difference too :)
