A Team......

In both photos , you see the same horse and rider......   They are riding as a team, together, guiding and jumping together.   There is a calm and relaxed feel to horse and rider.  Both are looking forward, the rider is in sync with the horse in space, he isn't left behind, he  is balanced, supporting himself while the horse carries him through the air.  The horse is tucked in the front (feet),  thrusting himself over the fence with the hind feet, rounded through the back and looking forward with both eye and ear.
     The same is true of the bottom picture when the rider came back on another line.   There were no hit rails, no jerking of head, a very quiet tail, an alert and attentive expression on both horse and rider.....
