This week's rider has an issue with her elbows! She has no contact with her horse's mouth because of her awkward arm movements! Unless this is part of some training method I am unaware of... She also needs to work on letting her horse's lift gently bring her seat out of the saddle... She has jumped ahead of the horse and as you can see, she has passed the saddle with her body! Her horse does *not* look happy with her jumping ahead, as all her weight is now on his forehand... Her head is up nicely, not looking at the fence, and her legs have not slipped back too much (I have trouble with that!) and look pretty good :D
This is more how they should look... perfectly centered over the saddle with arms not flailing about and in sync...
