Nicely caught, pity horse and rider are not a bit more to right of frame
C&C welcome.

A great action shot! Don's composition advice is good, that red fence is a bit distracting - perhaps go for a square crop (or even a portrait one of just the girl and horse!).
The image as a whole is quite yellow, I think you need to mess around with the white balance a little.

Great shot and nice and sharp. I wouldn't change a thing
The RWB fence adds a bit of stability. If you crop it the picture
will be falling over

This was the sort of crop I had in mind:
(Cropped, minor adjustment to the horizon, quick and dirty colour adjustment)

The portrait crop is much better, but the colours are still 'wrong'.
Using only Picasa's WB tool, I chose a grey area of the upper pole and it produces much more natural colours IMHO.
Ideally, if you had been on the rider's right hand side, you'd have had her looking more into the frame.

And adding to Mannesty's comment you would have had the 'bend' of the horse too - that can be very interesting
Do you do much 'event' photography ? It would be worth checking the course direction so you can be on the correct side to see the movement of horse and rider

Thanks Guys for the feed back this was my first shot at this type of event. There was only one side of the ring unfortunatly to take photos from I was happy with this shot among others.And adding to Mannesty's comment you would have had the 'bend' of the horse too - that can be very interesting

I think she was going to her right in order to get closer to the next fence on landing and reducing her time in the turn. It would have been nice to get on center.

In that case - you have certainly done very well .
I used to get similar sort of shots when watching carriage driving - horses can get themselves in the strangest angles as they twist and bend round obstacles .
It really is not easy and I certainly didn't always succeed [ can't show them , they weren't on a pentax and worse still they no longer exist ]
