Cross Country Schooling (I’d love a judge critique =])

This is from Tuesday when I was schooling at my friends house.  I gave him a pretty short release because he sometimes decides to completely ignore my riding before/after the jump so the reins are my reinforcement =P Also, just because I’ve gotten this in the past: my stirrups aren’t as long as they look, I just push myself really deep up to the jump and it pushes my leg forward. I have another picture where my stirrup length looks normal but I don’t like my position so I won’t post it haha.  Please critique both of us. Thanks!

Cross Country Schooling

These are from my cross country lesson yesterday.  I’m prepping for my C1 rating next month.  We used to be terrified of ramps after he got stuck in one, buuuuut we obviously got over that! =]  His legs are a little weird over the ramp, and sorry you can’t see his legs in the second one… other than that please judge what you can.  Thanks!
