I watched the Cougar Rock tape over and over when I was working the AERC booth at Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show years ago. I thought the same thing - that it would be interesting to see if there was any correlation between rider position going over the Rock and completions.

Video or .mpg images might be better than a single photo for the reason you gave. That would be a fun study - a panel of people who had the credentials to critique riding position who are locked in a room with these tapes or images for a week or more until they come up with a list maybe rating riding styles from 1 to 10 compared to completion lists. Anyone want to do it? Funding would be required for pizza and beer (or wine) and the same motel rooms they use to lock jurors in.
