hey thnx for entering!

hands: 5/10

seat:7/10

leg:7/10

jumping position:7/10

Bonus Points: Horse looks well schooled(+2), good editing(+1)

score:29/40

PS what brought your score down a little was u plant ur hands which means u cant properly use that aid when they are planted on his neck. Ur posture in ur jumping position is very nice, u jst want to watch ur leg because u kind of push off ur toes which sends ur leg way back and ur body slightly infront of the pommel of ur saddle.

thanks :D

about the hands: from watching this video, i COMPLETELY agree with you. this was 6 weeks ago, and you wouldnt BELIEVE the hard work ive been doing with my eq. now i sit up lots more (shoulder back instead of rounded) and my hands no longer rest on him, and recently i saw pictures of me in a jump and i am no longer in front of the pommel!! YAY!!!! of course i am still working at everything... i wish i had a more recent video to show you. thanks for everything :D

thanks for entering! :D when i judge, i give u a quick list of some good things, habits that need fixing, and suggestions to help you fix problems. I am an experienced rider and I train horses. im not a real trainer or judge but i am experienced enough to see flaws in your riding. you DONT need to take my advice, and I wouldnt want u to do so without talking to ur trainer and disgussing things, they kno ur horse best! If u DONT want me to judge U this way, please kindly let me kno :D

[hunterjmpr113]

its ok you can judge me that way :D

[HorseCrazyGirl123]

ok thanks! i will start judging most likely today since im home sick from school lol =D

[hunterjmpr113]

ahh ok hope u feel better!!! :)

[PonyHeartStrings]

You ride king of like me! Probably better ;(

[happythepony]

ur horse is really pretty and good riding the only thing is that it looks a little like u pump right before and after the fence, but mayb it just looks that way and u dont but idk all i know is that that isnt a good thing for the show ring lol but some horses need that right before a fence i dont personally know your horse so i cant give u very good advice sorry! :)

[hunterjmpr113]

oh, thanks!! :D

ur not all perched infront of the saddle which is nice, your more back and focusing on keeping your horse balanced and light! Its really nice! When you jump you dont through yoursleve to it, but you let the horse fold you! Great riding!
