@Lissie - for flatwork I've always been taught and then up 1 or 2 holes for jumping - but @newforest has a different opinion so maybe I've been trained wrong
I doubt if you are wrong and I will be right. I am riding a very wide lass so her build dictates me as well.@Lissie - for flatwork I've always been taught and then up 1 or 2 holes for jumping - but @newforest has a different opinion so maybe I've been trained wrong
Yes and thankful we have a cantle. Sometimes her power uphill can shoot me back.@newforest do you find when you put your stirrups up you end up sitting too far back because of the length of thigh?
Will take a look.@newforest I know that feeling! The other week I forgot and put too much leg on and she lept into a huge trot and I was chucked backwards lol. I've started a new thread on my position (which is bloody awful) so as not too go off topic on here.
That made me giggle. Yes bye bye Lissie.She's rocket fuelled. I was once asked what an earth do you feed her? She gets meadow grass hay (low sugar) and grass in the field that's it! Can you imagine if I fed her, I'd never be seen again
When I took my blocks off my legs were swinging around like I was dowsing for water! Completely insecure which is funny as I have no knee rolls/ blocks on the other saddle at all.
I can be 'correct' or lower legs forwards for steep hills and jumping. I do think your terrain has a bearing on your length choice and position. ( that's my excuse and sticking to it unless someone can find me a better one)
I only have four lessons per year so we are always work in progress.
