Love the visuals, it makes all the difference
Excellent lesson on body position. Clear& concise. Very helpful. Clarified many points for me.
Wonderful, I’m so glad I came across your channel! 💜
Great coaching. Find it weird that you have so many people viewing your videos but so few hitting the like button. 🤔 They really should be liking and subscribing to help your algorithm.
Great video.I had to watch that several times to fully convince myself it wasn't a real horse under that cover.😂😅
I am working on elbows back, lots of cues from my instructor on that. My horse likes to steal the reins a bit as well. Lots to think about and work on. My legs have gotten a lot better. Thank you for the video!
Just remember to have bent thumbs and press the front part of your thumb fingerprint down on the Rein that is laying over you first finger. Bend the 1st knuckle (the joint just after your thumb nail) and think of the bend being like the roof of a house and press as light or as firmly as you need with the front part of your thumb fingerprint down On the rein and the rest of your fingers should wrap around the reins with your fingertips touching the middle to just before the heel of your palm and fingers always closed and try using a little squeeze of your ring fingers ( one or both depending on what you are asking along with you seat and leg ads first) when giving aids. That will help keep your reins from sliding or being taken from you.
Love this. Especially the first two! Thank you!
Fun and easy learning! Thanks!!
Thank you 👍
I was doing all of these! Thank you

Can you send me some informatio To teach kids to ride horses
I want to learn from you 🌹
She's on the horse I've been looking for all these many years. Totally forgiving!😨
your heels dont need to be down? my instructor always tells me heels down toes up? so its not a mistake
They said jamming your heels down not don’t put your heels down
Part of the incorrect position is feet ahead of your hip. It's not only heels down toes up.
Your stirrups need to be the correct length and then just pick up your stirrups and place the ball of the foot area in the correct placement and allow the rest of your foot from what is coming out pat the stirrup iron back to your heel to just rest, relax and back 2/3 or 3/4 of the rest of your foot fall down and back with a relaxed ankle knee and hip. Not every rider will have their heels well below their toes. Some may even be about level with the front of the foot because they may not be flexible or have much stretch/flexibility in the calf to where the heel hangs lower than the toe.
I’m coming back after and accident and have a little bit of core instability, I tend to jam heels down and then they slide forward when I’m off balance because core is weak. I shortened stirrups a bit and am working on core and that has helped. I also remember a visual a read once of sending heels back, not down and for me that helps.
Heels should be down, but it's not about forcing them down. Ideally the weight of your body should gently travel down into a relaxed ankle, which helps the heel stay down. This can only happen if you are sitting straight with shoulders, hips and heels in a line as shown in video. As soon as your ankle is too stiff, u try to grip with your calves instead of knees, or your feet come forward, your heel will normally lift up.

Hi, just want to ask as i cant find any answers anywhere for this
I am a new rider (2 months), everytime i ride only my right hip flexor gets so fatigue and strained, and for the next 1 week cant even move my leg up(cant do any movement that requires flexors to be engaged) then after healing, i ride again and same porblem keeps happening. Any advice? Thanks a lot ( i am not doing rising trot good and did canter twice ( not so good, my legs/feet keep moving forward "cant keep then alligned withe body" and feet out of stirrups as a result). Appreciate your efforts
I think your position won’t be quite right I’m not sure tho ask your trainer
Try riding without stirrups..evaluate hip.. are you bracing in Right stirrup?
It could be so many things from your own body to if the saddle is size correct and If it fits your anatomy/ pelvis for your gender (is it a male or female saddle), is the saddle crooked and you are compensating, are you just tense and not being taught really good basics to work on your position, alignment and balance. If you have been only riding for 2 months, you shouldn’t be cantering yet. You should still be doing so much on the lunge line for biomechanics. Maybe research some new instructors that really teach rider biomechanics and will put you on the lunge line to really get a good position and learn exercises to build and stretch muscles and relax the joints throughout the entire body. You can’t go wrong with a solid instructor with a background in biomechanics balanced seat and knows how to give proper lunge line lessons. They can really help a rider develop a solid independent seat and truly move better with the horse.
