I do not know where to begin. Let's start with the horse. Look at the hind legs. the uneven plant of the hind legs stresses them unevenly when jumping in this striding manner, which generally is not the best for the horse's well being. Jumping more in a striding mode than a jumping mode, the horse is also striding with the fore legs. If this rider falls backward into the saddle when the horse takes off by flexing his cocked hocks, and by her position this is a strong possibility, the horse will be unbalanced longitudinally on landing. The fore legs striding will then be pulling and if the rider's rock back in the saddle is strong enough, it will unweight the striding fore legs. Not good... hyperextension.
The rider. The saddle horn is right there up against the rider's stomach area not far from her spline. If she unweights the horse's fore with a big rocking motion, there will be a counter motion rock from the horse that should put that horn right up into her. Ouch at the least or call the medevac helicopter at worst.
What the heck is Parelli up to?
