As a coach, lots of questions I?m asked are basically repetitions. One question that I?m frequently asked is, ?Can I learn how to sit better while on the trot??
If that is a query that?s troubling you, too , here are some answers for you.
1. The number one requirement is that your pony is on the bit. You will struggle to sit if your horse?s back is stiff, hollow or tight. And it?s pretty much a certainty that if you?re uncomfortable, you?ll somehow cause discomfort to your pony, too!
Put your horse on the bit by getting the connecting half halt right.
2. Slow down the trot. Ride on really low throttle and when you are able to sit easily, step on the gas in two stages, just a little bit at a time. Slow down once again.
3. Get the pony on the bit while at a posting trot. When your horse is round, sit quiet for 2 or 3 strides. Get to posting once more, before you surrender to the desire to use your legs to grip your horse. Set your body right, relax the legs and again sit quiet for two or three strides.
4. Cross the stirrups over at the saddle?s front. Do posting without using the irons until your legs tire. You?ll be unable to grip with tired legs, and that will make you sit deeper.
5. Concentrate on your own hips. Take note of the way they close and open on the walk. Try and imitate that exact motion on the sitting trot.
6. Make believe you are a practiced belly dancer. Swivel your hips.
7. Grip the saddle?s front with the inside hand. Using that very same hand, pull yourself more deeply into your saddle. This way, you will be able to experience the feel of sitting in sync with your horse on the sitting trot.
8. Relax your thighs and knees; take them off saddle temporarily, about an in. or so. Let them drop back, this time very lightly.
9. Go thru some lunge lessons. There?s no better way to master the sort of independent seat that can let you sit comfortably thru a trot. Avoid using stirrups or reins for the lessons. Leave the steering and control over speed to the person who is lunging you. Go thru some exercises: move part of your body while keeping the rest positively still. You can do exercises like scissor kicks and arm circles. Practice deep seats while your pony is in travelling gaits; continue to practice thru down or up transitions.
