We took 2nd in the first class, fourth (I think) in the second class because we pulled a rail, first in my third class and 3rd in the last one. If you watch the video you can see where my knee buckles over the top of jump number 5. For about half a second I thought about continuing on with no stirrup, but then I realized that my knee decided to stop working all together so that's why I stopped to regroup. It was just a schooling show, so there was no need to go balls-to-the-wall.
On the critical side, I'm thinking I may need to shorten my stirrups a hole or two. My toes seem to be turned out a lot more than normal (I can't keep perfect equitation with my leg because of my own conformation) and my legs seem to be wrapping around a lot more than they should in show jumping. Let me know if you agree...

P. S.
from my limited knowledge,as you know is, I do agree that your leg is too lond and that may be why your toes were extra pointed outward. since this poist...no doubt, you did something different..so tell me how that went.
