actually theres a really good book called how to get the most from riding lessons, or a similiar title and it include everything from the very beginning of leading to a little bit of jumping at the very end, so if you want something that you can reference when you have a question then i suggest getting that book, it's helped me out a couple of times. yeah, and then the usual tips like heels down, helmet, relax, shoulders back, half halt outside rein for head down, etc.

That's something you need to ask your trainer or have someone who is an advanced rider or in the show circuit to point out what you are doing wrong. If you are an intermediate rider, nothing someone can type on this thing is going to help you...you already know the basics!

Have someone take a video of you while riding. Then you can watch it and see for yourself what you need to work on. Many times what we think we look like does not match what is actually happening, and videos are excellent tools to help you learn.
Also watch other peoples riding lessons. You will learn that way, too. Watch what they do and the horses reaction and what their trainer says to them. I learned so much by just going to clinics and watching, that I would prefer to just go and watch than taking my horse now!

1) That's the way. On trails, it doesn't really matter,but say you are turning right, you want to be on the left. 2) Slow the horse down a bit, and close your eyes. Imagine becoming one with the horse. Sounds insane, but works. 3) Can't help ya there. Maybe its the horse.

i agree with the filming and watching to correct thing. also with the getting advice from advanced instructors because they can watch you. do you jump? you could also take up that if you don't already. it requires a whole new form in the saddle to learn. also, practice more invisible signals to your horse. no matter what level you are at, this is important. the less visible your signal, the more the judges know you are in tune with your horse.

well, you can't just say... give me some tips. you may have mastered what i suggest and need help with something else. it would be much more effective for you to present a problem or something you have trouble with and then for people to offer tips. the video camera thing is a great suggestion though.

When you jump, don't go into 2-point too soon or too late, don't go too far into 2-point, and make sure that you and the horse have good timing when jumping.

always remember to sit up straight it is more important than it sounds. and don't forget the value of the half halt! It has helped me tons of times
