I will try and post another picture tomorrow of trying the improved position

Great I hope you have fun

sorry i didnt get any good pictures lol will try next time i ride

Okay here's a video cross country schooling you might have to slow it down to see the jumping posistion I would like feedback on the jump too.

I can post more if that would help.

I am a jumper and hunter jumper, so this may not help since I know you just need to get over that jump for the goal lol. Maybe try giving to the horse a little more, or putting your reins forward to allow it to extend. And maybe you can relax your back a bit as my instructor says, allowing it to arch a bit? I am no eventer, but I hope this helps :+)

Thanks even if it doesn't it's nice to hear about different techniques.

One of the biggest things that stands out to me in this video wold be how busy your upper body is over the jump. In the video and the picture you can tell you are folding a little to early which is causing you to fall back into the saddle farther over the jump. Something very important I would suggest working on is holding your body back on both the way up to the jump and on takeoff. Once you are getting into your jumping position as the horse is taking off and staying over your saddle you will feel that you won't feel yourself falling back farther over the jump. This is very important because it will make it easier for your horse to get over the jump, when riding a course with rails falling back into the saddle will definitely cause you to have rails, even in courses with more solid jumps a quiet body will make it easier for both you and tour horse to get over the jumps (: Also from what I can tell the jump itself was ridden correctly and your release and lower leg looks really good :) I hope this helps!! I show pretty extensively in the big equation and my mother is a riding instructor so I would like to think I know a thing or two about positions xD also sorry about the lengthy description, I wasnt sure how else to describe it...>.<

Thanks extremely helpful.

Let's hope I don't fall of when I try it out lol
