Keeping your hands still in posting trot is an important skill for you to develop not only for your riding skill but for your horses comfort too. I hope this video helps you.
Absolutely brilliant!!! I have been struggling with keeping my hand still, and instead of focusing on my hands, I will now focusing on relaxing my hands and elbows, and the natural pumping action will seem to happen. This is perhaps one of the best tips I've ever had. Thank you so much!
Loved this, I have a big moving Friesian and I watched video and was horrified how much my hands move. But I am so going to try this. I’ve been riding all my life but god knows what’s happening now with my hands. I’ve lost all my coordination in my old age 😂 Marian , Dubai
These tips are so helpful since I take riding lessons as well. Thank you so much for making these incredible videos! You just earned another subscriber. Keep being awesome! ❤🔥
Hi, thank you for your great, easily understandable videos! We have a former fullbreed, trotter, racinghorse and she pushes her shoulder in turnings all the time. How can I train or learn her to bend herself correctly? Or is there allready a video that tells how to handle this problem? Thanks, I love your videos!
Love the thumb tip - I'm going to try that next time I get on! I used to have the hand issue myself and my problem was that I couldn't get my arms/hands to work independently from my body so an instructor I had told me to ride with my elbows lifted out and away from my body with my hand where they should be. It looked funny but it worked and over time my arms returned to a normal position and are now totally independent. I absolutely love your videos - they are the first thing I look at every Friday morning while I have my coffee :)
not sure that’s a good tip. this will make you ride with chicken wings. your elbows need to move forward or back from your midline. do not point your elbows out with your hands in. terrible lack of contact and movement.
@@marycanary3871 It slowly changes over time naturally as it does not feel super comfortable unless pointing elbows out is an issue/problem you have to begin with. It actually just gives you the "correct" feel of having your hands work independently and once you feel that you can maintain it while riding correctly. It worked great for me after trying many different approaches so I put it out there.

If you're hurting the horse with spurs you're using them wrong... plus there's different types of spurs .. I don't like the western pin wheel spurs for eg .. but the ones used in dressage are blunt balls

lol I was just thinking about the scissors on horseback might be a bit scary.
Why do you still use spurs? It DOES hurt the horse.shall I contastlypoke you?
Spurs don't hurt the horse. The leg that is attached to them may if used incorrectly.
If you're hurting the horse with spurs you're using them wrong... plus there's different types of spurs .. I don't like the western pin wheel spurs for eg .. but the ones used in dressage are blunt balls
