Sophie standing up a little early and getting a little too far forward in her jumping position
|
Sophie settling into a very good fold position over the top of the fence
|
Sophie in decent landing position
|
|
Lauren in a nearly ideal position taking off over the jump on Zanee
|
Lauren's body in very good position over the jump; perhaps her hands could be a little further forward in her release
|
Lauren's seat has settled back into the saddle too early, as the horse's back feet are not yet over the jump
|
|
Heather on Brody slightly inclining forward as the horse lifts off for the jump
|
Heather well centered on the horse and folded to absorb the horses jumping motion. Her hands could be a little further forward in her release
|
Heather is a strong, graceful rider and her weight is not in the saddle, but she could slightly strengthen her half seat and hold her behind out of the saddle until the horse's back feet clear the jump
|
|
Sophie anticipating the jump and getting forward a little too early; it is fine for this phase of her learning curve while we teach her a better fold over the jump
|
pretty good jumping position for this point early in the jump
|
again, Sophie on Neek-o too far forward - she needs to leave her butt and center of gravity a little further back in the saddle; upper body looking good for this part of the jump
|
|
Sophie looking very good over the top of the jump!
|
Sophie's weight back in the saddle too early, as the horse has not yet cleared the jump
|
Sophie is learning to sit back up gently and come back into the saddle sooner after the jump
|
|
Lauren in good position just beginning to incline forward and fold over the jump
|
very good basic jumping position with her body, Lauren should release her reins and hands further forward, since her elbows are back in her gut here
|
Lauren's body in good, centered position on the horse over the jump; hands need to be further forward on the release
|
|
lauren sitting back in the saddle too soon, as the horse has not yet cleared the jump
|
pretty good position on the landing
|
Heather and Brody approach the jump in good position, not anticipating the jump too much
|
|
Heather and Brody looking very good
|
excellent position over the top of the jump, hands in good release position, and but out of the saddle
