In this video my wife Emily is teaching us some strategies on how to become more aware of our body position in order to be able to ride the trot better. Emily rose Reachingstridesequinerehab.com Www.patreon.com/ryanrosehorsemanship
i know Im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me
@Pedro Leighton I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I was taking a lesson and the horse was so bouncy at the trot, he bounced me off!😂 The teacher critized me but i was like, that is why im here! You are supposed to teach me!
Emily I want to thank you for perfectly explaining AND demonstrating what to do. I used it today and it made SUCH a difference. My horse was far more responsive and willing when asked and we are just working at the walk. Excited to continue to apply it at the trot. My lesson horse has great buttons I’m just learning how to communicate with him.
I have been riding for a long time and watched a number of videos. I have been riding a young horse who has had at times refused to move forward. We've worked through all that. Today I rode her in the way you explained in your video. I was very aware of my Michael Jackson. Well, I had a complete different horse. She stepped out!!!! So thank you. The best explanation I have ever heard and wow what a difference it makes.
Love the way she breaks things down descriptively and visually , with a good sense of humor too. Also as a lady it’s nice to see her explain the dissociation between hip and torso . And the standing to find the right foot placement.
What a great and clear rider assistance video! Impressive. Much appreciated!! No questions regarding splendid advice. I would like to know: 1. About your horse. 2. What boots you are wearing.
Thanks for the video Emily. Having and keeping proper balance at the trot isn’t easy to explain and you did a fine job (made it easier for the rider to understand by explaining step by step with exercises and examples.) I enjoyed watching.
Really really enjoyed this video best one I’ve seen in a while. I’ve a numb right leg and am going to practice this as I never know where my leg/foot is
I don't know why I struggle with this so bad but my horse is a very bouncy Trotter to begin with but with me struggling sometimes after I ride I get a horrible headache like I have a thousand little concussions this video seemed to answer all the questions that I have I think I was putting my back to round or two straight but I don't think I've ever really tried having my core equally balanced I also like the tip about standing up to get everything aligned I'm going to try this all this weekend I'm very excited
I need to see a horse that has a bouncy/choppy high knee position. I got excited about this video. This horse travels rounded. Beau sways his back and lifts legs high.
That was really nice to follow. As I took some riding lessons it doesn't feel right to me how I post trotted but my trainer said I am doing fine. It is really hard to see the difference but I put a little bit too much spring in there. My reins wasn't still and I didn't have a right feeling. I think this will help me in my next lesson. After I got tired a bit in my lesson I did it right that is probably why my trainer didn't say anything because in the end I fixed myself.
Very clear explanation. Thanks for this video. The less high you rise out of the saddle the slower you can move. One instructor used to tell us “quit posting like a pop tart coming out of the toaster!”
Great video!! I’m a beginner, it has help me understand much better how to move when trotting. Where can I watch that other video she is talking about?
Great video posterior posting seems so obvious however I tend to do this sometimes 😔. I now understand why my legs can be busier then I'd like. Interesting 🧐
I wanted to thank you very much for this video. I applied it yesterday and the difference is colossal. I am going to practice this Michael Jackson movement. Very good visualization. I realized yesterday that I was driving with my pelvis completely locked and doing some strange movements. Thank you again. If possible I would like to ask for a similar video but how to improve the sitting trot. Greetings from Poland.
It is a great video!! However, If you were doing the rising trot position correctly on the standstill, you wouldn't have to hold the saddle for balance. I think the best position for rising trot is to be leaning slightly forward on the sit phase with a bit arch of the back, and we move our hip forward towards the hands/pommel when the horse pushes us out of the saddle (that's when our upper body is vertical). Can also be tried on standstill without holding to anything if the upper body is slightly forward. Thank you and please correct me if I am wrong 🙂
I always imagine that the moment I stand up, I am pulled forward upwards by the belt buckle. This has helped me a lot. This also automatically tilts the pelvis properly backwards.
The pelvis movement she shows, in the beginning, is what you want your pelvis to do in the sitting trot. You need your pelvis to move from the ideal position to the "posterior pelvic tilt" and then back again without the top half of you moving. In sitting trot it works in double time though as your seat is keeping up with both hind legs, not just the one you are rising from in rising trot. 🙂
I agree with it all. Only thing I thought should have been addressed, is the potential added difficulties with a horse who's shocks (pasterns) are short and more upright, giving a pogo stick like ride (like a worn out set of car shocks. Giving a horrible ride, vs new shocksthat gives a smooth ride)..... which is where posting would make it WAY more comfortable at the trot, over a sitting trot.
Hi.. I love ya Ryan, but I would like to see more of Emily. I’m an English rider, and she explains things so well! Also, could Emily please tell me the exact name of her dressage saddle? I’m not sure how you would get back to me however. :)
I’m wondering if you have any ideas what I could do with two different sized feet? My foot got mauled by a lawnmower when I was six, and since my last surgery I’m having a hard time finding balance in the saddle again because my foot is now about half the length compared to my other, the pad of my foot is two inches less in width, and I have three toes (I’ve always only had three on it) but the difference in length in width is really throwing my balance off. Riding bareback is the easy but it’s hard to figure out how I should keep my feet in the stirrups, and I’d like to ride in the saddle to work on things, I just feel stuck trying to balance myself the whole time instead of being able to work on things with my horse.
This i swhy it is called "posting" a trot. WHen you can do that tippy toe thing without grabbing the saddle....then you found center. In my dude Wrangling days I used to watch "English" rides try to post a trot in a 7/8ths. INvariably they grab the horn to assist. Even if you never saw them do it you always know at dinner time. They are the ones who struggle to sip their cocktail. total arm pump..lol
Yes the horse can feel everything the riders doing. It’s very important that we’re able to move with them appropriately and not be in their way. Thanks for the comment
I see all the comments are from middle aged women who have obviously never worked cows or ridden very far. Go watch some endurance rides (because I know you only care about English saddles) those people are not posting.... Cowboys are not going to post either. They are going to stand slightly and use their legs as suspension. This is all just crazy nonsense to market to a set of middle aged women...... I do like a bunch of your other videos, so don't get twisted Ole son.
