Another thing to mention that might affect how you ride, especially if you are a woman in dressage, is most of the time, those saddles are built for men. We have completely different shaped hips. I've had this problem since I switched to dressage and I finally figured it out. Look into this if you are having pain or difficulty in keeping your seat and legs. Just a mention.
I am getting medical treatment for a lack of mobility caused by a combination of old injuries and catastrophic illness. It's slowly working but I'm still not straight and still carry too much of my weight too far forward due to extreme immobility and curvature from the bottom of my shoulder blades to the top of my neck. If I don't lean my upper body too far back too much of my weight is too far forward on my poor horse. He doesn't deserve that so I compensate.
I think I'll be the first one for you, who can't ride a horse without a (outside in) tilted stirrup rubber as the one you talk around 12:53. Why do I use them? Because I have had a knee operations, and ordinary stirrup rubber puts too much pressure on my knees after that. Other than that, nice video.

Hi Amber, I totally agree, I have written an article and it mentions this point.

Sounds like you are doing the best you can Dorothy, I hope the information from HRM helps.

Yes, I say, some people, due to injuries or actual disabilities need them (and other aids). Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Well presented!
Thanks Elizabeth!
