This is cropped rather too tight for me - what were you cutting out? If your title didn't say "horseback" I would never have known! I like the choice of subject, though.

I would like to see a little more of what is going on. The timing of the shot is excellent.

I don't like the crop, not sure what you were trying to hide but I hope you got a good reason

Strange crop - so much in the picture and yet no real subject.
