Yes, we definitely have room for improvement, but at least these pics help me more clearly define the parts that need the most attention. <br /><br />I think I'm going to get the first one... after all, the prints are 20% off if I get one before the end of the week. ;)jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-24760654621317724422012-07-26T17:39:52.113-05:002012-07-26T17:39:52.113-05:00Solid leg and neat knees are the two most importan...Solid leg and neat knees are the two most important parts of jumping and you've nailed those.

No matter what your training level is, I think everyone has room to improve, and the pictures always highlight those areas so don't be too hard on yourself. Your leg looks amazing, and for me that's always the hardest part. I also agree that your stirrups look a bit long, which is another reason your leg position is so awesome!<br /><br />Definitely buy a couple of those! :)in2paintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721328264615241612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-43416706888339821092012-07-26T13:54:50.794-05:002012-07-26T13:54:50.794-05:00Aw, thanks.

We just haven't focused on anything higher than the hip yet. <br /><br />As for the long stirrup, Saga was acting up in warmup, and as an eventer I feel more comfortable with a longer stirrup. I should probably go up a hole though, you're right.

Even your first pic, which is maybe not your best, you still look solid with that nice, long leg and heels down. <br /><br />Your stirrup does look long to me, but I have leprechaun legs, so anything beyond the saddle flap seems almost unreachable. ;-)SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-6421867151519910512012-07-26T13:28:44.668-05:002012-07-26T13:28:44.668-05:00LOL, CFS, I like your way of thinking that the per...LOL, CFS, I like your way of thinking that the perfect moment happened when the camera wasn't pointing at us! <br /><br />It's interesting that my instructor has told me to keep the core engaged, and I do try (although it was not in the list of things going through my head on course), but to really see in a picture how NOT engaging the core affects things... I totally get it now. Definitely a lightbulb moment. Still not sure what my elbows/hands are doing though!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-72863619926992962092012-07-26T12:55:26.117-05:002012-07-26T12:55:26.117-05:00You and Saga look great together.
