quick jump critique

Im collecting vids and pics because i need to make a college entrance video...quick. So what do you think of these two pix. I'll have more pix tomorrow

BUt heres 2....


and

Your getting way to far ahead of your horse. Wait for the horse to jump.

poo.
he has a tendency to overjump so sometimes i overjump =(

the 2nd pix looks like he was buried in to the jump.

Yeah, just sit deep in the saddle & wait for him to jump- he can take care of the jumps for you. Press your legs down & wait. Also, remember to look ahead of the jump & not on it. It's a mistake, a lot of us do it!

Thankyou so much for the critique. The things said are actually helpful and thank you for trying to explain what to do. I'll have videos of us tomorrow hopefully i can put up for critique...and ill definitely employ the technigques you guys just mentioned! thankyou so so much

I agree with everything thats been said..
But, to help you to determine the take off stride, try setting up a pole, one stride later a small cross, and then two strides a vertical. This will enable you to feel your horses stride, and help your position.

Look up!

Just quickly, I'm from Australia and see alot of posts about 'College Entrance' videos and pictures. Whats it all for? Is it similar to a university where you study and ride?

Good question... iv been wondering this too
