| yay! Well done! |
| Mustang Willows |
| Yes the aspect of riding correctly not as pretty can be hard. If you were not taught how to do it. It’s fine to ask the questions. I love helping people |
| Centura stable |
| Thanks guys, I'll try sitting back and rolling my hips more with the canter when I remember, also I'll try and remember to put my thumbs over my reigns |
| Mustang Willows |
| Yes that is exactly what I mean. Roll your hips with the movement. And kind of do scooping motion |
| Calela Eventing |
| Yes definetly lead back and then i also reccomend that instead of holding your hands downwards hold them like your holding a cup. Thumbs over your reins and use your pinkie and ring finger to ask for more contact to the bit |
| Mustang Willows |
| I know a lot of trainers say to move against, because it’s more pretty. But that will move your balance forward, so you want to move with the horse which will help enable the horses movement to a greater extent and make it easier for you to sit the different gates.. |
| Centura stable |
| so that would mean rolling my hips with the movement? sorry for all the quistions I just never got taught this aspect of riding |
| Mustang Willows |
| It looked like you balance was positioned forward. To help fix that what I would say is try to move with the horse more and not against. |
| Calela Eventing |
| Its hard to tell from a blurry photo however it does look like a lot of your balance is forward. Were you transitioning into canter here? |
| Centura stable |
| -Click- so here I would not be balancing on the reins? the horse is in canter. Also would you say that is having a soft hand? |
