If you want to..?

Question

Please critique me riding, I know my eq over fences totally sucks, I have no excuses, although I could think of many, but that doesn't help anything, and I think my eq o/f is usually better, but whatever, anyhow thanks everyone!

Answer 1

Move you hands a little more and let your ellbows act like hinges.

Put your heel down a little more and that will improve you leg postion a lot.

When your going to the fences don't lean at it it will help your eq over fences a lot too.

Other than that great job keep it up!

Answer 2

YEA I SEE YOU KIND OF BOUNCE UP AND DOWN ON YOUR CANTER ALOT AND SHAKE YOUR HANDS EVERYWHERE. TRY AND PRACTISE KEEPING YOUR HANDS STEADING OR MOVING WITH THE HORSE.

YOU KIND OF JUMP UP AND DOWN IN THE CANTER, I WOULD SAY FOR YOU TO RELAX MORE AND JUST TOTALLY LET THE HORSE LEAD YOU, BUT NOT LET HIM HAVE CONTROL!

ANYWAYS PRACTISE MADE PERFECT, AND ALSO I THINK YOU WOULD DO MUCH BETTER ON A SHIRE HORSE OR SMALL CHUNKY CLYDESDALE.

Answer 3

when cantering you could try to move your hands with the horses head. at least thats what my teacher always tells me. also mabey give the horse more rein? my teacher always bugs me about that too lol

Answer 4

I will tell,  you I ride western, BUT I think you could give the horse his head. Not so much that you lose contact with his mouth, just enough so he can move and stretch out a little bit. I don't know if that is just how  english riding is, but that is my opinion.

Answer 5

I loved the song. :) Demi Lovato.

I think you just need to work on the hands and I couldnt see as much because it was either shaking or went by a little fast. :D

Answer 6

I don't want to critique you...just want to tell you that watching this video reminded me of my middle daughter on her little gray gelding 20 years ago...it brought ears to my eyes.
