As others said, great rider who exemplifies that precious American show jumping style. I think flat work was very good also. I would only say that this horse was sometimes too over-flexed. After a quick research, I have learnt that Eryn Ballard is actually a 5* rider for years. I am not surprised at all. Keep the great work up!
You need to keep a straight line to the horse's mouth with your elbow. This is classical equitation. Riders today ride with their hands far too low which causes the upper body to fall forwards. Watch the higher level riders. Not hands fixed to manes/shoulders--your horse can't jump properly---they need the freedom of their neck to jump correctly.
This is the video I return to again & again when I want inspiration about how to school the basics & how to jump. Erynn Ballard is simply magnificent.
I watch this vid every time before I jump. She is an awesome rider.

i guess you can say she's one of Canada's not so hidden secrets
It was such a pleasure to watch you ride.
I was there and it was a great clinic and she rode amazingly
Who is the Rider? She's Excellent! Loved watching her!
Erynn Ballard.
Wonderful horse, wonderful rider!!!
Very nice ride! Well done 👌
Amazing rider!! One thing that I would do is try to sit up and bend your neck a bit more don’t be as stiff. Once again great rider and great horse!!
This is really nice!
such a good rider! :D
I love the horse! was it an Arab? I also loved the way that you teach
Sarah Maggi looks like a warmblood to me... far from the arabian. Bigger bones and structure, taller, bigger head with a flat forehead.
Looks like a Dutch warmblood looks like my boy but different color
Man they rlly keep their hands up don't they?
