Thanks for the great comments! Does anyone have any advice for sprucing up the sky?

You asked about the sky- honestly it'd be tough to do a whole lot with it in basic. You could try some curves measurement, by selecting portions of the curve to alter based on the tonality in the image. Advanced you could edit the sky separately and do more, depending upon what your original looked like.
One other thing that might have added to the sky is if you underexposed the whole scene a bit to keep more detail in the sky and not blow it out, and then tonemap it afterward. I've found you can bring a lot of dark shadows back successfully in this manner, and since you underexposed you'll be pulling more detail back into the highlights in the sky. It sorta works better on some images than others, but definitely something to consider.

sky is bit screwed though tht rest of the shot is just superb. I bet if advanced editing was allowed you could fix that sky.

nicely done - the action and 'pose' of the horse and rider is classic stuff
