Description Watching this girl jump was just plain scary. The horse was flat out galloping then leaping the jumps. Kind of had my heart in my throat for the whole round, but it made for some good shots.

Great shot! Looks a lot like my horse, white with black legs, mane, tail, and muzzle :] I don't see a lot of horses that look like him.

A bit slapdash, but at least she's enjoying herself! And (from your shot at least) her horse looks resigned and used to her tomfoolery. x)

I hear people these days talking about going to jumping shows (I don't jump) and seeing riders who're just sitting there, holding onto the horse's mouth for dear life, and the horse is running the course because people aren't taught to sit into the saddle right before they're being put over jumps at some stables... I'm glad I ride at a barn that only does flatwork. It at least means if I ever do jumping, I have a good foundation in my seat and know how to ride without holding onto the horse's mouth.

In other news, great photos.

eeeesh, I think her head is suppose to turn and see where the next jump is...not her whole friggin' body. I think both need to back track and restart a bit. Make her jump two footers on a calm older horse, and in the meantime get a good trainer on that Gray to do flatwork with a Norton in his mouth. That'll slow him down.

Very awesome shot by the way. You can just feel how precarious and off kilter everything is. Nothing makes me more nervous than jumpers flying around the ring like ultra n00bs.

Wow, I'm surprised she didn't fall leaning like that. I can't watch people jump- always feel like something is going to go wrong.

Brilliant photo- I can feel the emotions of the subjects.

I feel like she's leaning so far that their just both gunna fall over on each other. Great shot though. Her face makes me laugh.
