Nicely done with the jump, it's nicely rendered!

The rider's lower leg looks a bit long in proportion to the rest of her. Her hip appears cocked slightly to the right (might be fixed by a little shorter lines at her hip, the length of them makes the hip appear twisted rather than straight ahead) and the connection of the upper arm to the body is a little stuck-on looking, mostly due to the slight curl of the underline on the rider's arm rather than allowing it to be a little more open as this part of the arm muscle goes from the shoulder and stretches down the full back and not sucking back up to the shoulder blade. This rider is using a crest release, which should produce some slack in the rein (as you've actually correctly rendered, intentionally or not!) as it allows the rider to stabilize her body through the horse's neck as it jumps and give freedom of the horse to use the full range of its neck to perform well over the jump.

I'm not sure if it's due to the leather being too short, but the note that the rider's knee is far back from the knee rolls of the saddle. The knee should be up against the flap for security and as noted on the cross-country picture, the leather should be perpendicular to the ground for greater stability (of course the leg could be removed from the knee roll because the leg had slipped backwards so far!).

As I mentioned at the start, this really is a lovely little group of illustrations. Keep up the most excellent work!
