OP, lets start with the first comment, your photographs are cropped a bit too tight. Are you cropping in PP? Perhaps instead of a typical shot where the rider is jumping the obstacle, you could ask if you could get in front of them on the course to get the shot when they're coming towards you? Also do away with the borders, they're outdated and annoying(imo)

I'll only mention a thought not already covered. Shooting horse jumping is like any other sport and requires positioning to get real meaningful shots.

#1: Rider's attention going away from your lens.

#2: Would have been a much more useable shot had you been at a better angle in FRONT of the jumper.

Might want to understand what shots you want, know what angle to get the shots from, then setup camp at a single spot for awhile and wait for the action to come to the lens.

please loose the cheap vingettes.

nice shots, beautiful animal, great color and clarity, focus good
but agree that edge effects have to go, at least the white one. If want vignette try a more subtle one that feathers or fades to nothing very quickly
the other points on positioning for shots are great advice
keep it up, nice images
