You need to make it stretch more when it jumps and squish more when it lands.
Oh, and you should change the timing a little bit too. Remeber that when you jump and you just reach the highest point before going back down again, you "stop" in the air for a moment. The same kinda happens when you land and jump back up again... Think of it like you're jumping on a trampoline.
Thank you for your feedback L0rentz. I knew the most of the critcpoints already. My Problem was to create a Jump animation without delay. The other problem is that too much stretch can cause some problems for our game. After the jumpanimation was done i already decided to make a new one for a later update, but atm there's too much other work i need to do. The jump curve will anyway be calculated from the game I just made a quick workaround for this animation because it seems a littlebit weird when the pony hovers in the air and repeats the same jump move again and again. Do you have any ideas how to make a delay free jump animation? Because it can really suck in a game when you have to wait for a simple jump :/
Glad to know that you actually know this stuff. We need more good animators. :3
Anyways, the only idea I have would be to have the pony lean forward when it's going down and land with it's hooves first and like, have it bend down with the front of it's body when the back hooves land and then push up.
Also, you really shouldn't worry too much about it anyway. The only reason I complained is because I have a fetish for bounce and stretch. xD
Can you make other mane 6 jumps?

Just my thoughts as an animator. owo
