Anybody With Critique for Me? - mora2000 - 01-12-2014
Feel free to lay it on thick! Comments of all kinds welcome if you just wanna watch
Okay, so, I know I need to fix my release with this horse. My leg is all over the place also. This horse is a Thoroughbred X Oldenburg mare with a serious jumpers attitude.
I was a lot more comfortable about riding this horse. Release still isn't perfect because he is a bullet so I needed a bit more control but I let him have his head more. Thoroughbred gelding. Over the 3'6'' jump I let him have his whole head because he was jumping bigger.
This is a more recent video of a speedy greenie I got on for my trainer because she wasn't able to handle her. I figured out pretty quick just to let go of her mouth because she was super picky about rein pressure. After I did this she relaxed a ton and was a super star. Welsh pony mare.
And a little fall video for laughs
Fall video
Successful second attempt

You have a nice form.
It was very apparent that you were more comfortable on the second horse than on the first. It looked like on the first horse you were having a little trouble finding your center of gravity, keeping your seat. The horse seemed to sense your discomfort and looked a little anxious.
Horses are like dogs and people; they have different personalities. I do believe though that the skill you demonstrated on the other two mounts shows that you are a good rider. You just need to find your rhythm with the first horse.
I have gotten on horses and we were totally out of sync. It was hard to find my seat and get comfortable.
