Position critique?

Please critique my riding position. I have been riding horses for 18 years, yet I still feel like I'm always leaning too far forward. I'm just not sure how to fix it...

Update:

I didn't take the picture.

Some of you need to seriously get a sense of humor...

Update 2:

They are actually not attached at all, there is no ring in the bear's nose. This picture shows it better.

Now SMILE people, it was meant to be funny.

    Well you are a little too far forward, but other then that I really think your position looks great! You should feel so fortunate, I bet most of these answerers would kill for that raw balance, not to mention being one with the horse. By the way, I have a friend that works for Oster if you are looking for some good clippers for yourself or the horse;)

    Ya, I thought it was cute until the ring in the bears nose was pointed out. I guess if the bear falls of he won't have nose anymore. How sad ={

    the girl on the pinto is plenty greater reliable in terms of type than the girl on the dark horse. the girl on the dark horse has jumped way forward and is particularly merely status interior the stirrups over the leap somewhat of folding her physique to stick to the pony and take up the ask your self of the landing. Her leg has slipped back because of the fact she's pinching and pivoting on the knee, she has no base of help in any respect, no genuine protection. She needs to look ahead to her horse to bounce, save her bum over the seat of the saddle, save her knee comfortable so as that she would be able to land softly with the pony, and her decrease leg pressed down deep close to the girth. the girl on the pinto provides an exceptionally helpful photograph. She seems leaping forward in user-friendly terms a teensy little bit, and ought to stretch her calf down on the girth in user-friendly terms a hair greater for somewhat more desirable base, yet does seem particularly helpful the photos dont supply a real reliable shot of the two horse's leaping style. The dark horse isn't getting plenty help from it particularly is rider and would exhibit greater useful type with a greater reliable rider. it particularly is too quickly interior the leap to tell plenty in any respect with regard to the pinto...

    Haha okay that picture made my day. I'm sure your position could be fixed if you only sat right in the saddle. Haha ;]

    Edit: Wow, I just noticed the ring. I thought this was photoshopped or something. Poor animals :[

    EDIT:: Hehe thanks for the new picture. I was a little worried there. As long as the bear doesn't eat the pony! Poor thing must be scared half to death! Hmm now I'm thinking about purchasing a saddle like that. Maybe the bear could give me some lessons. Hook me up? Ahaha ;]

    This is crazy! Do you see how scared that horse is? I can't believe people do that to horses, it's so sad how terrified they are.

    But to find the humor in it, sadly, I think 18 years of riding and sitting like that in the saddle is a little appauling!! haha! :) BTW, is it hard to type so well with big paws? ;)

    Haha thats funny. But its also sad. Did you see the ring going through the bears nose, that ties to the horse's bridle?

    Ohh alright. I spoke too soon. Sorry! Now i can enjoy the picture, because it is quite funny! =D

    That's just cruel and unnecessary. To put the animal lovers that come on here to help fellow animal lovers through seeing that is just mean.

    You like the picture? Well good for you, promoting inhumane treatment of both a horse and a bear, just don't make the rest of us witness what you find funny.

    I LOL'ed... To me, it looks like the ring is attached to the horse's mane, not the bear's nose :\ *shrug*
