These are nice, considering that your starting out.
I won't critisize every picture because 1) that would be rude and 2) I'm about to go trailer my horse somewhere. But here's a little advice:

*Remember the Rule of Thirds.
*Black and White shots are the easiest and look most classy.
*Always edit your pictures. Not very obviously, but subtle-ish. Just change the size and crop out a bit of the shot if you have to. Adjust the saturation, contrast, and brightness. It may take a while to get a perfect eye for what you're looking for.
*Make sure the horse looks happy or at least attentive.
*When you take a jumping shot, take a few at a time. Keep the shots with the horse most eleborately looking over the fence
*When photographing flat- try to get shots of the horse in it's most "stretched" form. Like in the Extended Trot. Wouldn't the forleg look best to be extended in the shot?
*Don't have "busy" backrounds. But if you must, try to blur them a bit. Keep the focus on horse and rider.

Good luck!
