Looks to me like you rely on speed as opposed to the real factor in the jumper ring, turns and balance. Sure you can fling your horse around the turns and make it race through the course like that but what are you truly accomplishing? You throw any TRUE jumper horse in that ring and they would have womped on you. 99.9% of your rolls weren't tight and balanced, your horse had a short fast stride and barely clears the jumps.

your no good rider.. it don`t shows your talent if you only ride fast... would you really like riding you would be more cautious with your horse... a horse is a partner and no sportequipment

In short you need to slow down, get balanced and actually ride your horse, let him figure it out on his own.

you are! you have to fast for jumpers. they judge you on your time not you eq
just keep in mind we don't know what the footing is like, it can be hard to take the jumper turns in soft grass footing.

Very astute observation. armageddonff is correct that horses that are used to showing on this grass field learn to almost slide their back ends around a tight turn to keep their feet. Good eye!
