I have been going to some huge shows with the top riders at them and alot of them say that I have a solid base. I am going to a smaller show to compete in equitation classes and I want to look the best I can. So please let me know what I can fix. I know that sometimes I drop one shoulder farther than the other and any suggestions on how to fix that would be great! Thanks a lot! You can also critique the horses/ponies I'm not sure which ones (allowed to take 2) I am taking yet so if you think I look better on one of them let me know thanks. and i will quit rambling on.ha ha ha

give more with your hands. in some of the pics you seem to be leaning on the neck a little too with your arms.

also looks like you tend to dip your back a bit. on quebec your back is straight and nice but a couple of the others looked a bit like your were maybe leaning a little with your body too.

other than that your horses are gorgeous :) you do look quite solid to from the pics we have seen. i would take quebec and chloe :)

good luck :D

overall you look awesome... just a couple things...

no ducking!! lol (pet peeve of mine)

also, you look a little stiff in some pics, try to let the thrust of the horses jump bring you out of the saddle and let your hands follow

but like i said you look really good! and ps i love the cow jump standards hahahah

good luck and i know youll do awesome in your classes!

All your horses are gorgeous. =) Solid base makes me think of your position in the first pic- yea, you could be releasing a bit more, but you have a very..tight and together position. :) and as you said, your horse looks great. But you look pretty good in all the pics, aside from a few tiny exceptions like letting your lower leg slip back slightly and your back get too low.
But overall your position is great, I would trade anyday! ;)
And I am soo jealous of your leg position in those last two photos..

Thanks for all the critiques!
I don't know who I am taking yet, I am leaning towards Sabrina because she always has even knees, but she is a little more forward than most horses in the hunter ring (but if i keep the same pace i will place well). Quebec tends to pull a lot so I don't know if I am going to take him to equitation, because he likes to go and he is serioius in what he does. And chloe is more of a hunter pony because she has a nice steady pace but she doesn't always have even knees. Soooooo I still don't know ha ha ha

Anyone else want to critique??
