My legs keep coming off the horse and then I’m comepletely thrown off balance, and I can’t sit up after the jump. I used to be amazing and my position was way more stable but now it’s just gone worse and idk why :( I haven’t jumped in a while but I’ve jumped in abt 3 lessons now so I’m wondering why my jumping position hasn’t gone back?

it just takes some time for your body to regain those muscles and get used to it again:)

Thanks so much! Could you do a video about driving rein? This is very useful!

[@bernietraurig]
