Of course in stadium jumping the intent is for the horse to come down before the rider, but it doesn't always happen that way. The first two pics are Steffanie on Magic. Usually the two of them really are magic since I have many times seen Steff get in tough spots, but the kid never comes off, even if she has to climb back down Magic's neck. However, this day Magic seemed to be a bit more like voodoo. Jumping was not his idea for the day, and based on Steff's leg in the first pic he wasn't an easy ride. In the second pic Magic rejects going over the jump, and Steff came off. In the picture she is still hanging onto the rein and she looks like a yo-yo being pulled back up. The last two pics are Leah on Regally Blonde (Regal). Regal is happiest if you let her jump all day long and it showed with a clean run.
