Something that I have really struggled with in the past is how to sit the trot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially with really bouncy horses, I would often find myself feeling like at any moment I could bounce right out of the saddle. Other times, I would wake up the day after sitting trot a prancing horse and feel like I had bruised every inch of my bum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The worst was when in the moment I felt like I might snap my lower back if I kept trying to learn how to sit the trot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I was first learning how to ride on Satchmo, my first pony, I remember having trouble sitting the trot because he would either be trying to catch up to the horses in front of him when he was following and would be super bouncy or I would be having to squeeze at him to go forward because he refused to go forwards when he was leading. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re struggling to get a horse to move forwards under saddle, make sure that you read my blog on how to move a horse forwards first (click here!)<\/a> and then come back to this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
