Hey Vincenzi,
For just riding two years you are amazing over the jumps.
If you are up to reading horse books in English there are some I can recommend in the Forward Seat tradition, including a two photographic studies of jumping (both are available used, one is cheap & the other one expensive.)
I have 4 blogs just on the FS, three are lists of position for slow, fast and jumping equitation, and the other is about 32 faults to avoid while jumping.
I used to dream of being as good over jumps as you are. You are not perfect but in two years you are much better than I ever got over fences.

Dear Vincenzi,
Capt. Federico Caprilli was the Italian cavalry officer who developed the modern Forward Seat which the Italian cavalry introduced to the world in the early 1900's. Decades ago the Italian riders were rightfully proud of this achievement of one of their own and very proud of Il Sistema he developed before his premature death at the age of 39. Caprilli changed how people ride over jumps forever and he was instrumental in developing a whole new way of riding and training horses.
All your jumping photos show the FS. Independent hands during the flight of the jump, you do it so beautifully! I have not seen such good photos in decades since most jumping riders now use the crest release (leaning on the neck) with their hands.
I have several blogs of the forward seat on Barnmice, including 4 on the position both on the flat and over fences.

Vincenzi,
I LOVE your seat over fences. Today I rarely see better. Way to go!
Are you trained in Caprilli's Sistema? I am a Forward Seat rider.
