    Reorganize Your Horse’s Rhythm in the Turns for a Better Jump

    1 Overall: This rider is accurate to the fences but she would create a more effortless-looking round if she lightened her seat and reorganized her horse’s rhythm at the ends of the arena.

    Leg: This rider’s knee angle looks good, but she’s pinching with her knee, which might be making her lower leg a little insecure. I’m speculating about this, though, because the standard is hiding her heel and ankle.

    Hip angle: For this height fence, I like this rider’s angle, and she looks like she has control of her balance in the air.

    Her eyes are looking up and ahead to the next fence, and her back is flat.
