- In this video, I discuss how to post the trot without stirrups. This is a great skill to learn that can strengthen your legs, improve balance, and help you to work with the motion of your horse.
Posting without stirrups is best started after you become comfortable posting with the stirrups. When you feel confident and ready start by warming up your horse, and also ensure they are in a relaxed state so you stay safe :)
Learning how to post the trot without stirrups can be challenging, but also beneficial. It is such a great tool to help you improve as a rider. Have fun practicing this and feel free to leave any questions 😊

How To Know Your Horse Tierd Or Hungry Or Anything
My legs keep flailing. Make my foot easily out of stirrup. I learned that we shouldn't grip either with calf/thigh. So what should be done?
@@cawanpinq don’t take to much advice from me I can only cantor but push your feet down in the stirrups while your going fast if that u question
Thank you so much for making such a beautiful video 💕🥀🥀
I have no horse, i will never ever own a horse unfortunately, but i still watch your videos. I have no idea why im obsessed with horses,but i just love them.
I learned to ride without stirrups and I actually find it easier. 🙃 So this is pretty funny for me. Love from the netherlands
Same :))))
xD same
Sammmmme
Hoi ik ben ook nederlands!!
but POSTING without stirrups is a whole nother story!
I took my first fall last week! Cantering a quite bouncy horse. I feel her gait might be too advanced for me right now but I love riding her. I’m going to focus more on deepening my seat and improving my balance before we canter again. I think this video will really help! Excited to try this out with my trainer
Hi Evellyon, that sounds like a wonderful plan! Keep up the good work in your practice💕🐴
i learn more in these videos than i do in my lessons! i love these videos so much, i’m now cantering and practicing half seat! i also trot over some cross rails!
Wow Julia! Sounds like your making great progress 👍 Glad this was helpful
This really helped I’ve been riding for 5 years but I’m still having trouble with no stirrups so thanks for making such great videos
I remember doing this in lessons and it look me months to get ahold of. But before I had to quit lessons I posted an entire 1 1/2 hour long trail ride, as the horse I was riding had a very uncomfy sitting trot and I’m convinced he actually didn’t know what a walk was lol. This video was still informative for me
I just found this video, and this has taught me more than my instructor has ever taught me! Thank you so much for this, it has really helped me out so much ❤️
You are soo lovely and you take very well care of horsees that made me so happy :))
I think I will need to watch this video many times before I try . Thank you very much very informative
Thank you so much this really helps I have trouble post trotting I’m a beginner and your the only person on CZcams who actually explained it very well !!
This video is also perfect for bareback riders! Would have been useful to me while learning so I encourage people who want to get into that to listen closely :)
I am riding for more than 1 year, but I never rode with stirrups on yet xD. my trainers want us to learn how to ride without the stirrups first, but this might this be usefull for me :DD
thank you! Ive been working on this with my trainer. I'm just getting back into riding. 🥰
I always enjoy so much your videos because I adore your calm and kind vibe while you are teaching
so to start this, I love your videos, they're amazing! I love trotting and cantering without stirrups. I actually started getting into it when I started jumping. I was riding a mare that was a bit hot that day and was being a brat lol. I actually got my best canter that day so that was cool. but its helped my position so much!
I've been doing no stirrup work with myself and my students recently, and I got a few good tips from this that I'll be implementing ;) Thank you!
Thanks for sharing🐴 I’m so glad you found it helpful ❤️
Thank you for this ☺️ I really love your teaching style. It's encouraging and positive and makes me want to try the exercises myself :)
Thank you!! This really helped and hopefully it could help while I have my stirrups, thanks you so much
thank you this is so helpful

Thank you for explaining how to use the legs. I am just learning to ride the girl that is teaching me how to ride told me just to sit on the horse without stirrups.I did and was sitting just like a nudle on the horse she did not explain what to do with my legs the horse startled just a little walk sideways,because a car drove by I Fell flat on my face of the horse so thank you for letting me know about the lack work not to squeeze too tight and not just to sit like a noodle.😆
Thanks for your helpful videos, I learn a lot of things from your videos 😍❤
helpful video, thanks a lot
This is really helpful
Nice vedio, thanks a lot!
I find these videos helpful because my trainer said I’m getting better with correcting myself with posting and trotting
My cousin said I did a great job and she told me how did you learn that and I told her it was just a CZcams that I watched and she said she must be very talented I love your videos by the way
I wished you would live in Missouri I would love for you to teach me how to ride😌
Good one and informative ....I am not able control the bouncing while on trot...this is really helpful ...expecting more tips to improve strength of knees as well as more tips for better balance on horse while on trot and cander ....good luck
thanks
nice job
I fell off a new horse that I never rode before and had to take off the stirrups for the first time while trotting. I fell flat on my back. Had to recover from the soreness of my neck and bottom. Feeling better now, luckily nothing broken. Going back on Monday again.
Very nice
I want to try this on my next training😊
Well explained thanks a lot
Glad it was a help 😊
Last week I fall off the horse as my trainer was insisting on doing sitting trot ,, it’s the most difficult thing in riding horses but I think I will start trying your way short distance than go for longer ones
Thank you for making this! I have a trouble posting with one stirrup or none.
It's amazing how women have such natural abilities with horses.
I liked your video, Im a horse fan too.
I enjoyed ur vid alot....I subbed u From me, My friend and my family
Nice dear.
Tried it and it's harder than it looks...love the challenge 😁
I need a trainer like you!🥺😍
Hi how are you i hope your well.Amazing vidoe.I have got a question on why landing from the rising trott which part of the saddle would you land on anyway amzing vid
Hi😊
You want to land in the middle of the saddle.
In a well balanced tree the flats point should be in the middle of the saddle.
How to get cramps in your quadriceps for 2 days
I have a huge problem with posting to high and over the pommel a little any tips I’m moving up to the junior eq soon so I want to get a good post
Can you please make a video on how long to have your stirrups? from sitting on the horse I can never tell what length I need to set them to xxx thanks
Hey I Love your Videos So Munch!!! And can u post this video How To Braid A Horses hair? If you do Thank You 😊!
Hey😊
I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos💕 braiding your horse’s mane is a great idea👍 Thanks for the recommendation!
Thanks for another great video. One question: when you ride w/o stirup, do you use your thighs exactly the same way as if you had the stirup on or you put more strength on the thighs but not to the degree your horse felt being squeezed? thanks!
Hi😊
Yes. You are having to use more strength when posting without stirrups in order to stabilize yourself in the saddle🐴
A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT more strenght! I repeat,
A
LOT
MORE!
XD
Hey thanks for this video my dad is moving house soon and I may never get to see my horse again we are moving to a new barn and I’m really bad at trotting without stirrups and I’m scared to go to the new barn not knowing how to do this
I have recently started riding and I am facing the same challenge , my weight is also high as per BMI ...its 3rd day today
This might be a stupid question, but would this work riding bareback or would your legs slide down too much? Because I’ve never been able to sit and post properly on a trot bareback and I would love to know if there’s a good way to go about it
Crosby is so handsome 😀
What is the Bridle on Crosby?
Hi Dear. Is it okay if I create little bit of hollow angle while rising and straight spine when I come to sit? It is very hard for me to rise with straight soine. My instructor told me you should only move your core and your spine should be in straight line whether you are rising or sitting. But, I can see even you are making bit hollow arc while you are rising.I m so confused😢. Can you please help me out. Cheers
I want to learn this cause my ancestors didn't need stirrups while shooting arrows from their horses
Hi, my trainer is starting to have me ride without stirrups and try to post without them. When my feet are out of the stirrups, I feel comfortable enough to have the horse walk, when the horse trots, it scares me because I have no support in my feet and I almost bounced off the horse since I bounce a lot. As for posting, I tried that without the stirrups but was unable to lift myself up and I started to have a pain in my knee. Got any advice on how I can improve?
So, I guess I should strengthen my quads and inner thighs by doing wide squats (toes pointing outward) and hamstrings by doing dead-lifts?🏋️♂️
Hi Rob😀
Something you can try is start by practicing your posting with stirrups checking that your knee is pointed down and you have a stable thigh. During your practice with stirrups check that your lower leg from the knee down is quiet. Once you feel your lower leg is quiet, then you can practice short distanced of the posting with out stirrups. Doing exercises that help strengthen your quadriceps and hamstring‘s off the horse is also a big help.
Good luck with your practice 🐴
I learned this a few weeks back and flew off my horse when it started trotting hahah
Me too
just started ruding again a bit after VERY long gap. Use to be able to do this. Now no chance
Today I posted without stirrups for the first time.
I think it’s the fact that when I grip on, it tells my horse to go faster and that just makes me feel I’m gonna “die”😂😓
Can you do tips on the half seat...? I have been cantering for 3 months now and my trainer says I’m ready to learn the half seat.. any tips?
Hi😊
This is a wonderful video idea🐎
I will add it to my list👍
@@JSHorsemanship thank you!! ☺️
What about bareback posting trot?
Im here bc my trainer said posting after making me go w/ out stirrups 😭
🤗🤗♥️😘😘😘🐴🐴🐴🐴
How do you steer the horse while posting? I seem to be struggling greatly with this. As soon as my horse starts trotting he likes to go all willy-nilly around the arena.
Hi😊
Sometimes having trouble steering in the posting trot can be related to your leg strength and balance. As you improve your strength and stability in the saddle your steering often improves.
Hi how are you
This might sound bad but I actually get more balance when I have no stirrups I have more balance with no hands 🤔
@@lampadudle my friend and I shared a account and she is addicted to sso 😅
I don't know how to do it 😭 yesterday was my first time trying it and I fall twice 🤦♀️ it was really bad. I feel like I don't have a balance plus my leg muscles are weak please let me know if you have any advice. Also I grip my legs to the horse body I dont know if that's wrong🤷♀️
I’m glad your okay!
I would go back to posting the trot with stirrups. Continue practicing with your feet in the stirrups until you have a quiet stable lower leg before taking them away.
Wall sits are also a wonderful exercise that have been a help to me in building leg strength off the horse.
Here are a few videos that may be a help👉

When i ride without stirrups I always feel like I will fall off when I do a turn
I feel like she is really tall 😂. Im so short i can barely put a saddle on a horse lol😅
Where are u from? Do u have lessons that I can go to?
Hi Alexandra, I am located in northeastern Ohio where I provide private lessons. I also travel and do clinics (see jshorsemanship.com for more info). I have some online projects in the works too. Stay tuned 😊
@@JSHorsemanship do u support the cavs
14 year old me says same to you
my first time doing this made me so sore
I will ask if I can lose My stirrups next lesson but one of my horses r really lazy and stubborn, 😂
Crosby is my last name 😂😂
LOL!
tried trotting without stirrups today, almost fell off the horse
Oh no! It definitely takes some practice and leg strength 😀
Keep working on feeling like you have a supportive leg with your feet in the stirrups before taking them away 🐴
Same I fell down today.
