Jill Henneberg here as a guest judge for JMR. Welcome to the eventing world! Your horse looks quite happy with his new career. He's certainly good enough up front and I'd assume he'll get a bit better with more schooling. He is a bit on the forehand. I'd love to see him get a bit more on his hind end so he jumps more up and around the jumps instead of across them. You're doing a good job staying out of his mouth but you could stand to be taller with your upper body and having your bottom closer to the saddle. (This may help shift his balance a bit more too) Shortening your stirrups a hole or two may be useful as well to be able to keep more weight down through the leg and into your heel. All in all, great job. Best of luck! #correctconnect Www.ridecorrectconnect.com/JMR https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4IP7jg_WA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3eq2wgq7wdb0

Hey sarah. Jill Henneberg here as a guest judge for JMR. Your mare looks sweet as can be. Seems like this jump isn't a very big effort for her. Maybe your stirrups could be a hole shorter. I like how your center of balance is close to the middle of the saddle. Your arms, however, have gotten way too straight through the elbow. Perhaps a longer rein would help. Your release should be a following of their mouth, not a throwing away of all contact. Thanks for sending. #correctconnect Www.ridecorrectconnect.com/JMR https://www.instagram.com/p/BozlskDgr7V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16ms1nasjlirp

Hey Meg. Your horse has such a lovely expression and is so classic with his front end. He looks very economical over this jump. (Meaning he uses himself as much as needed to do the job well). Your stirrups look like they can go up a hole or two, which will help keep your base of support under you instead of slipping back. This will also help you to be a bit taller with your upper body and not be so tempted to throw yourself down and to the right of his neck. Work on those details and you'll be much more balanced on landing and more easily prepared between the jumps.
