Ok, so, sorry for the post thats probably gonna turn out long. :redface:
Ok, so, First question............ How to balance in a forward/light seat?!
In my last lesson we were working in a forward seat in trot so i could get my balance and practise for jumping.
Some times i done ok but most of the time i just couldnt get it right. :redface:
If i put my heels down more i tip back but if i bend more i fall forward. If i try to stick my bum out more i fall backwards! :stomp:
Its sooooooo confusing!
How do you manage it and do you have any tips for my next lesson?
On to the second topic..........Transitions!
So although ive been riding for ages i dont actually know the aids for transitions so i want to start getting it right.
I know trot-canter; Sitting trot, raise inside hand, move outside leg behind girth, put inside leg on the girth. (Atleast i think thats right.)
So can you explain the rest possibly? Please? :angel:
Halt-Walk?
Walk-Trot?
Canter-Gallop? (although i probably wont need it for a while, It'd be good to know it)
Gallop-Canter?
Canter-Trot?
Trot-Walk?
