You may want to use a faster shutter speed (1/640?) because the hooves are still a bit blurry. I normally use 1/640 for hunter-jumpers and it seems to stop the hoof motion effectively.

I've read that you always want to get the rider's face if possible, and all of the horse if possible. Here is what 200mm got me (with my old Rebel XT):   www.SantaBarbaraPix.com

It depends on the event. I have been asked not to use flash because it spooks the horses. Check with the event director/judge(s) at your event to see if it is ok. www.SantaBarbaraPix.com

Nice framing and timing. It's hard to say much else as the image is so compressed and just look blurry.
