This kid has an enviable sitting trot...😒 I will be happy when I can just figure out how it should feel, I keep gripping, and subsequently start bouncing like mad... Being an adult beginner is humbling, haha, for sure... And I loved the sound of sheep and horses in the background, it was very soothing, haha!
pariah mouse a common reason for this is your core is too tight and you’re squeezing too much, completely relax your body and let your legs hang and relax your core so so you don’t bounce so much. I did the same thing for the longest time but one day I got it and I’ve had it ever since :)
Please help me someone whenever i have top trot without stirrups I get really nervous and i do still hold the saddle, but I always feel myself slowly tipping and have to grab on the other hand too to pull myself back up and let go with one hand again its so hard please help me
This will be very hard to follow but I promise it works. Relax. All you gotta do. I had the same problem and trust me, it was bad. Just have your trainer put you on a slower horse and put you back on the lunge so you can focus on relaxing instead of keeping up the trot. :)
Lpsgogo ok thank you now my trainer told me do do the carnival donkey Darby so I haw to anther bareback with a halter and leadrope on Tiny bumpy donkeys XDD
Try to sit on the bones in your butt. You have to feel them. Try to be like jelly while trotting. Not like a wobbly something. More like feeling the horses movements and just let them flow trough your body

Me too girly. It’s not so bad because it’s only for a few minutes every day but I agree it stinks, I like cantering without stirrups
I tried riding without stirrups (on trot) but everytime i stayed on second after I was slipping off and bending forward
A tip for sitting the trot: try to pull your chin closer to your chest and slightly open your mouth. It helps you become less tense

Let your legs hang long and heavy. That helps me :-)

Acorn Lane Stables Schleich just relax and find your center of gravity, let your hips move with the stride
