Anyone have any tips for riding a bouncy trot? My new Clydie X has a high leg action when trotting, which looks great, but I can't seem to adjust to it.
I end up with my feet jammed into the stirrups and generally bouncing all over the place
I tried shortening the stirrups to help me rise higher, but I feel like I lose too much leg contact with the horse, which just adds to the whole unbalanced feeling.
I am a competent rider and have no trouble whatsoever rising or sitting to the trot on other horses. I suspect that given enough time I will finally work it out, but if anyone can suggest anything to help, I would be most grateful.
