    It amazes me how much posture on a horse and posture on a motorcycle have in common. I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 6. That’s 60 years. It took me 40 to finally learn how to sit a bike so that nothing would hurt after a long day of riding. I don’t ride horses anymore but I sure do love this channel

      When I took my msf class I had told the instructor that riding motorcycles is a lot like riding horses as well . When I went from western saddle to English saddle it felt just like sitting on my bike no joke

      Guess I got lucky. Did a thousand mile day after about two years experience and could only think of how much more comfortable my bike was than any car, bus or airplane I’d ever been in.
      Need to work on my posture on horseback because it’s almost opposite.

    One of the best lessons I got from an 70 something year old horse trainer was to ride without stirrups. When I was learning to ride they noticed I had trouble keeping my posture and sitting the trot. So they took my stirrups off my saddle! After one or two days of riding like that I was amazed how much my seat improved.

    Excellent, usable information on how to sit. Thank you for sharing! I learned English when I first started riding, had a hard time when I started riding western as I was so used to posting. Then I face planted when my mare side stepped, lesson learned. Now I do it your way 😇

    As an English balanced seat rider who has done my fair share of trail riding with all sorts of people in mostly "safe" situations on known trails (not in the "backcountry") that I or the trail leader knew riding in various English saddles, Paso Fino saddles, Icelandic saddles, Endurance saddles, and various Western saddles, I have found it best for me to do whatever works best for me and the horse and saddle so long as 4 things are true, 1) I better know how to ride "safely" on trail and hopefully know how to cope as best I can with the unexpected, 2) I try to ride horses that are quiet on trail though there are no such things as a purely safe horse in any instances, 3) I learned how to fall safely (tuck & roll) off a horse, and 4) I know how to mount from the ground or from a stable elevated surface like a stump or a rock onto a horse that's not going to freak out because I fell and to dismount and remount again from either side for any reason. Things happen and we just need to be ready for them including deer, slipped cinches & girths, strange noises, or things dropping from me or my horse that I need to retrieve. I do post when I'm trotting in most saddles, not always in a Western saddle, and I find at least per what I was taught about the French cavalry horses that's what they did to save their horses the stress on their backs. Have I been spun around on a horse doing a 180 back to the barn because he was scared by a deer, you betcha! Have I come off a rearing horse or bucking horse? Sadly, yes. Fortunately I wasn't hurt. 55 is not the same as 15. I don't bounce any more when I hit the ground. But no matter where I ride or how I ride, the same straight up and down posture (ear, hips, ankle) that Dewayne advocates is the same one I was taught no matter what breed of horse I rode or what discipline I was riding in.

  • @kmin3434
    @kmin3434 Před rokem +7

    A lot of what you talked about comes from military horsemanship. The body supporting itself like a spring and needing to be in a straight line is taught as ear, shoulder, hip, and heel. I think you would really like the book titled "riding and schooling horse" written by Harry Chamberlain, which is also the guy who contributed greatly to the Army horsemanship manual of the early 1900's.

    Thank you so much for posting these, Mr and Mrs Noel. I have no horse, nor know when I'll ever ride one, but even these more equine-focussed videos (as opposed to your more philosophical offerings) are so effective in raising my mood whilst calming my nerves-a very welcome change from what one normally finds on social media. And your work as a whole inspires me to be a better man, even compelling me to pick up the Bible once again and to return to church after a VERY long hiatus. I have a lot of work to do in that area of my life, but you gave me that initial impetus, and I'm very grateful to you both.
    I sent you an email a week or so ago to say thank you privately, but I would imagine that you get so very many that it's difficult to read through them all (much like these comments on here). But I also offered my help with regards to any video editing, Photoshop design etc. that I would be HONOURED to provide-I want nothing in return as these videos are payment enough. If there's any way I can help by way of thanks, please let me know.
    In the meantime, God bless you both.

Loved the classic cowboy look too. The hat, the vest, the duster and the gun holster. And of course, the horse. You could have ridden right out of the 1880s, one of my favorite periods in American history.

    Great description of maintaining good riding posture, love the tree analogy. Respectfully disagree about posting- I believe it can be done, as well as two-point, if center of gravity is maintained. When you become part of your horse as you so well described, the balance is there. Gives you that moment to sit deep during a shy, a bolt or a spin. The endurance and competitive trail horses I've worked on are all ridden English, and those riders are sticktites.

I tried using the roping saddle, it didn't work out. After that I'd exercise the mare I had with a riding pad for shorter rides.

    Thank you so much for this video!
    I took riding "lessons" a couple times. Never had been on a horse except like at a zoo. (Yes I was that kid twice as high as the others not caring because I just wanted a chance to even that kind of ride). Anyway the lessons was also So I could ride. Loved it, but not the owner teacher. I basically was paying to exercise his horse. He said I was a natural rider. Showed me how to get the horse to Trot and canter. And that was it. When I asked him how to sit a trot and not post (mind you this guy is a award winning reiner), He just told me that was something I had to figure out myself. He never told me anything other then you can post to the trot and Don't lean back, etc.
    The one day her told me to canter the horse and then totally left the indoor arena. Now I know horses canter cater to long, so I would walk him until I heard his voice, then I would canter the poor fellow. He had already said in other lessons to switch directions and such. This went on for 45 min. The poor horse was literally grunting and puffing when he showed up again. My dad Had a stroke the day before the next lesson and I admit I used that as a excuse not to go back. Which is sad because this place is 5 minutes from my house. But he never taught this stuff.
    I know about the hills. One it is common since and 2 Louis L'Amour Wrote about it in one of his books. How he says it is you want to lean up hill, to help take the pressure of the joints that are holding all the weight and make it easier on the horse.

    Great video DeWayne. Proper posture is absolutely the foundation for all types of riding. If you don’t have pasture, it doesn’t matter how well you think you can ride or not. Posture is the foundation to put you in balance with the horse. If you don’t have that, you can’t be in balance with your horse. And, the horse suffers too. Ty for a great topic.
    Also, I ride a couple of my horses in bosals. What are your thoughts or experiences with them? Do you have a video already? Or could you make one? Ty.

    Great point on the pelvic bones. A person who has historically had bad posture will feel a bit uncomfortable when they force themselves to sit properly, but only for a while. As they ride longer distances, they will find that they do not hurt as much nor have fatigue issues as quickly.

    When you say pelvic bone you mean seat bones? Certainly not public bones, right?
    Love that you explained sitting straight and tall! Soldiers are fought to stand this way because it's the only way to stack your bones, if you will, for perfect support and less fatigue! My instructor always said imagine a string coming up through the top of your head. Too many people let the movement either out their lower back or out the shoulders, none of which is good!
