Answer 1

The first thing i would say is, heels down. Use your knees a little more and they'll support you, you can't rely on mane to keep you there. Relax, and keep your shoulders back, it will help you feel comfortable. You look great.

Answer 2

From what i can see(which is not much)=) all u have to do is get ur leg closer to the girth, just a little, and put the heels down,. but besides that u loook ggrreeaat!!!!

have fun!!!!

Answer 3

learn a little more forward and dont be so tense!

Answer 4

You look amazing on that horse!!! great job!! looked like you were having a lot of fun!! keep up the good work!!

Answer 5

Sorry cant really see, but you look great. Tou could put your heels down a little bit more but other than that you look awesome.

Answer 6

the pictures are a bit small, but you look like a natural!

have fun!

Answer 7

you ARE a natral!

yeah the pics are just a BIT small lol

you look really good and your horse is very beautiful!

i might steel him!

Answer 8

You're gripping too much with your knee, and that is causing your upper body to lean too far forward, and your lower leg to swing back.  You legs should stay under you over the fence, and your shoulders shouldn't be ahead of your horse's shoulders.  

But it's a good start, good luck!

Answer 9

I can't see as much as I'd like to, but I had to comment. In the first picture, your legs and foot are tucked nice and parallel to the horse's side. BRAVO!!! I decided I just HAD to comment because that's exactly what you want to see. None of this rolled out, toed out, riding with the back of your calves stuff, and you've nailed it. Good job!!!! Please, please, please don't loose that as you progress. You've got it from the beginning so KEEP IT. Also, I really like how your head is up and those eyes are looking straight ahead. In the other photos, as far as I can tell (my eyes are a bit older lol), your leg starts to slip back so keep working on that. Overall, nice, really. If you've just started, you have a lot of natural ability to cultivate and refine. Happy Jumping.

Answer 10

i cant see them real well but what looks like it is that you should bring your leg closer to the girth and bring your toes up more. But other than that you look like a natural :)
