I can do at least 10 circles consistently now, and this is my 2nd year in gymnastics. I've tried to do circles with the feint, but I am struggling with the concept. I also tried to jump into circles, but I'm having trouble with those also. I thought of a solution to decrease the height of the horse so I can jump it easier and eventually raise it up to regulation height. Do you think that's a good idea?
If the gym is open tomorrow, I'll take a video.
You can also just take the pommels off or use a panel mat to get up higher.
What's happening with the feint? Make sure you lean on the hand and get your legs up behind you.
I forgot to bring my camera today, but my friend took a video from his cellphone. It looked like I was piking my body while trying to go over the right side of the horse (I spin counter-clockwise). I'll post a video whenever I get the opprotunity.

So this is how I should do the feint, right? (0:47) I'm supposed to leaning in the front, right?
Yes, not leaning over your hands generally means you fall off.
