This is Lync, my 14.2HH Quarter Horse gelding. We show hunters and jumpers and we have an upcoming show this week. We’ll be doing hunter and jumper courses. Can you please critique my position and form? Those photos are pretty small, so here’s the Photo URLs:

I would say that the main thing you need to work on is your shoulders and back. Try to get an arch in your back by lifting your shoulders and pushing your two shoulder blades together over fences. Its tough work, but with some practice you’ll be doing it great it no time! Other than that, I would say you look pretty good! Good luck at your show!
In both photos, your body is a little too far out in front of your saddle. You have a perfect release in the 1st one, but your elbows stuck out in the 2nd one. Your back is nice & flat in #1, but slightly rounded in #2. I like your leg better in the 2nd photo though.
