Critique my Equ please?

Update:

So I know it's hard to tell from one picture, but it's all I could get. :(

I know that...

My heel could be farther down, but in my defense I was riding in converse (naughty me)

But otherwise I think it's ok. I have struggled with closing my hip angle and with my lower leg sliding back. I'd need to see myself over a higher fence for both things, but I'm still pretty happy with those. And I seem to be looking where I'm going pretty nicely.

    Looks pretty good! As you already stated, maybe put your heels a bit more down and your lower leg and little tighter in and forward, and close your elbows up. You look good to me though! Maybe arch your back a little more. Had a student who once rode like you with a flat back and she's like a hunch back! So try to bring your back down a little more. Nice riding

    Look more between your horses ears, straighten/arch your back a little bit more and try to sit back in your saddle a little bit more, to go in the movement of your horse when jumping but yeah, looking good! Keep up the good work, you're doing awesome!:)

    What level do YOU think your at? You and only you know your ability and what your comfortable with. Just from what you've said i would say your a lower level intermediate or upper level beginner.
