The reaccuring problem I see is your leg, you need to but more weight down into your heels, and keep your leg from sliding back as well, your upper body in most of the pics looks pretty good (-:

yes i am working on toeing out in my jumping & also my flat work. I have a problem when i'm learning something to find the medium, such as toeing out just the right amount. that day I had my stirrups to the very last hole, so it couldn't have gone up any more, i will find a hole punch & add an extra one & see if it helps :)

thanks.

Well there is nothing much to critique on since your position is overall really great, tho I would try to put my heels down a bit more in your stirrupts, depends what class you were doing,...
If it's EQ (Equitation) you may want to work on that a bit, but if you're doing Hunter, your heel seems just fine :)

Looks really nice! Yall are right though about her leaning to far on his neck and being way out and over the saddle on the last picture. Your leg positioning looks ok... but just remember to have your weight down in your heels and to grip with your thighs. You don't won't to see daylight between your thighs and your saddle.

i would say just try to keep your legs forward more and maybe sink your heels down a little bit more but other that you look reallly good
