try doing some exercises that involve jumping without stirrups or jumping without hands (tie reins and stick your arms out like an airoplane) if you have trouble feeling when your horse will take off try some grids with your eyes closed. These exercises will help you feel the horse's movements and enable you to move naturally on the horse. If you are more advanced and are more technical, have someone videotape you riding. This way you can focus on what needs to change with each body part. Remember not to fall into bad habits! Proper practise makes perfect!
