Sitting Trot - Dressage Training

Sitting Trot can be difficult for many reasons. 50% of how well you sit is how sittable on the horse is, and the other 50% is how you sit. In this video Mary Wanless BHSI BSc talks about the technique involved and some of the mistakes made taken from our course 'The How of Riding'

why don't you show the correct movement rather than explaining in detail the wrong movements? Just saying

[@rockannand]

Did I miss it? I heard the dished back and then the combined dish and round back. But, I didn't hear about what was described as correct. Imho, the easiest way to learn how to sit a trot is by taking lunge lessons without stirrups. If you want improvement .. that is the fastest way to learn it.

Thank you so much for your channel!

Love your tutorial just became a fan. I'm from the U. S. And at 65 1/2 made my dream dream come true by the Grace of God to learn to ride a horse. My first experience when it came to the trot, somehow I felt kinda a slight pain on my left knee. I don't know whether I was trying to hard, but the horse just kept walking instead of the troting. Again it was my first time. I'm booking for my second riding session soon. As to my riding posture my instructor told me I did fine. Hope you can advise me as to how to begin the trot . Thank you take care and God bless.

Not sure if I will ever ride again, severe health issues, but I can keep learning! Good teaching!

Darn you couldn't hear her response, I thought she was shy at first but realized the audio was out during her response . very helpful video though, just subscribed

May I ask you how do you get your horse's head down ?

[@DressageTrainingTV]

By getting the horse to work over it's back. When a horse engages it's core and works over it's back then head down happens anyway.. no need for fiddling etc...

Dressage Training TV Any tips on how to get there core engaged? It’s quite difficult on my horse 😂
