What do you think ? SJ question....

No, he is a nice willing sort of horse, there is no comma between willing and sort, it means the same as a nice willing type of horse perhaps with a scottish accent. It is a compliment.

He is such a lovely boy and so nice seeing a PRE jumping! But agree with the above- rider needs to be more relaxed in the hands so Armas isn't getting jabbed in the mouth.
 
Beautiful horse with a nice jump, rider just needs to try and relax more and soften with the hands and give a little more rein, looked a bit tense and restricted in parts but a wonderful first round of jumping... Looking forward to seeing more :)
 
Armas is beautiful, clearly improved over the last few weeks - well done to him and you. Rider needs to give as he goes over as he is pulling on your lovely boy's mouth at times :mad:

Lea840 -The horse in your sig looks terribly unhappy in your care. I demand that you deiver it to me at once - swit - swoo! :D

This ^^^ :)
He looks lovely. He is taking you forwards into the fence but doesn't appear to be rushing or overly strong. If you sit quietly on the approach with a nice contact and your legs "hugging" his sides, that will keep him straight. He looks forward enough to not need too much leg on the approach, and looks like he finds those little fences (to the horse) easy.
If you keep the contact until he actually takes off, then move your hands forwards along his crest towards his ears (imagine there's £100 tucked into his bridle), that will allow him to stretch his neck forwards over the fence. Think of it as the horse taking your hands forwards as you fold your upper body forwards. When he is coming down to land, and you are starting to sit more upright again, your rein contact will stay consistent through approach, take off, mid air and landing. Giving with your hands while he jumps could also help to stop him from changing legs or becoming disunited after he lands.
Beautiful horse and your position in that first photo is very good, you just need to give with your hands to make that picture perfect. :)
