what bad habits do you have as a rider?

[WishfulThinker]

Heels TOO far down
tip forwards when nervous
habit of collapsing when I have a big fright.
I used to look down when jumping...............learnt my lesson the very hard and sore way!

(And that is not me in that pic riding - its my sis!)

left leg has a mind of its own! I find it really difficult to wrap it around the horse on the left rein.

Hi, my instructor tells me that I fold a fraction of a second too soon while jumping, so how do you judge that???
And I overfold and I need to sit up quicker. This I am working on and I am finding that Rox is jumping more cleanly and more athletically.
Also, my right leg tends to slide back a little during flatwork and nag a little. I have sussed this as I watched a video of me on the flat yesterday. This is probably why she has a rub patch on her right side, but not on the left!!
