This is amazing! The movements and action in the photo is captured real good e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I know it can be hard sometimes to capture horses, so editing and cropping can help a lot from time to time. I now think of the composition considered to the rule of thirds. The horse, and rider, is in focus e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="15" height="15" alt="
You have photographed reality and nothing is set up (I guess). The timing was well. We can tell they trust each other, they seem so relaxed.
Personally the only thing I would have done different is a small amount of editing...
Good job, definetly, good job! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

This is a beautiful picture. The motion and action is caught extremely well. The only things I have are a few nitpicks.
The cropping could stand to place the figure more on the left of the image to convey more of a forward sense of motion, and if you adjusted it a bit, his raised hand would fall directly on a grid line and place the horse's head direction in the center third on the far right. (Rule of thirds stuff, ignore it if you don't subscribe to that ideal).
From a color standpoint, the horse stands out against the green very well, though you might consider adjusting the grass slightly to pull out bit more "green", I might personally adjust the riders' skin as well to have a slightly more warm feel to help contrast it from his shirt.
Again, this is an amazing picture and my feedback is pretty subjective so please don't feel like I am ripping on your picture, as it is, it's wonderful.
NOTE: I did a version that applies these changes along with a little bit of post-processing but I won't upload it unless you want to see it. Thanks again for sharing this.

This is a fantastic photo. The moment is captured perfectly, and makes the entire pose seem deceptively easy - for somebody who has done some riding, however, there are so many details in here that one can appreciate!
