I listened to this a couple of days ago and I have to say......I've cantered on many horses but the one I'm currently riding is a bit more difficult and today I tried this dip back and it was a game changer....just wow....thank you

Very well explained and what a great excersise. It's harder to do than I thought, as I'm too used to shallow breathing. Thank you for sharing.

Good point!

awesome but also lower the hands for a straight line from elbow to bit

Please, more of this short lessons....thank you very much ..:-))

Fantastic

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

Really helpful

Please explain why it named shoulder-hip-heel if it is shoulder-hip-ankle really (centre of the foot)?

this was so so helpful, thank you!!

REALLY helpful to me -- thank you so, so much! I have been holding the reins wrong and never knew!

Thank you!

It’s not possible in trot! It’s terrifying

thanks to this video I finally understood how to canter!! No more problems loosing the stirrup, complete different feeling...

Thank you for this great information.

Does this lady ever shut up🚽 constantly repeating herself … awful

Hello, I followed the link to the Rein Aids but it does not lead to anything. Where could I sign up for the series? Thanks!

The first time someone told me about my one thight 😂 no one wanna talk to me about it because they say I'm over analysing it 😿

Riding at the back of the saddle causes the rider to unbalance the horse.

The explanation of what not to do and why is excellent, but the section on what to do and how to do it is frustratingly brief. I would have loved another minute or two at the end really demonstrating the correct motion in every way - live demo; graphics, slo mo etc. I can sense that you are teaching something really valuable but am left half-satisfied and intrigued. Thank you for your knowledge and dedication and please add!

Finally, some explanation for the uninitiated.

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.

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

Thank you I will try this 😹😻 I am one of those lucky people with both reins and my horse switch shoulders like a snake 😹😹

I don t get it. So try not to hollow your own back and not to lean back and that s it? What s the whole Deal about weight on the knee?

is this still available as a membership

The rider has a hollow back when her "seat bones are ( suppoed to be) in neutral. To truly have seatbones in neutral ( pinting down) a rider's back is flat! Your video might confuse a rider to Have a hollow back and THINK their seat ones point down

Did RDR2 missed this and didn't include it?

Love this. Is it possible to watch these webinars for free? Best regards Maria from Sweden

I came across this excellent video and was surprised - no comments?? This is super informative as are all PD and MW instruction. I've been working on the posting trot nearly every day for the past 18 months. Yes, it's that important, especially providing energy to your horse. I find this extremely helpful, especially showing what happens when you fail to ride with good technique. I've certainly been on a horse where I'm doing all the work. thanks.

I teach riders to sit even on both seat bones and pivot around center (carousel horse). When the rider stays straight up and pivots from the waist right or left, not drop the shoulder as shown in video, but level shoulder, the inside rein automatically shortens by way of your inside shoulder going slightly back, and the outside rein automatically lengthens because of the outside shoulder going forward. Although technically you have not changed hand to bit rein length on either side. Also when you stay aligned and upright and pivot from the waist your inside seat bone naturally comes back and leg comes back. Outside seat bone and leg come slightly forward. I start people here because if the seat is even and balanced and pivot is level in the shoulders and from the waist you get all other aids, rein, seat, leg automatically with little effort or brain space. Is this correct thinking or am I part of the problem and messing up my students? Please be kind and informed if commenting :) I'm doing my best.

The wheelbarrow thing I really liked it made me understand. Thank u

Thank you so much, this has made all the difference for me and my relatively new and sensitive PRE. I had a bad accident a couple of years ago coming off another horse I was looking at to purchase and have struggled with my confidence ever since. This has been a game changer… has taught me to relax and has re booted my riding ability. So grateful!

This video only talks about what not to do which is not pulling on your reins. Thats it thats the video.

Thank you, very useful video!

Can you show what you should do instead? This video doesn't really address that although it's super helpful!! If I'm not meant to pull on my inside rein, what should I be doing with my hands/reins instead?

Thanks so much. Going to try this out today!

yes! I think there is a bit of an obsession with 'heels down' with some trainers, without good reason/knowing why. especially annoying if you have an injury and are therefore physically unable to get heels down a long way - you should still be able to ride.

I like your style! Thanks.

What a perfect explanation!

this is so true and so useful. it's said called for all the time and means nothing to most of us, most of the time... and so, this little clip ought to be played in every riding lesson - it would help many of us whoare just not real riders, but enjoy trying to learn.

This is the most British thing I’ve seen in awhile

frog hopping is such a correct definition, thanks for this

Thank you sooo much! This is genius. I was trying to point my toes inward, but the moment I forget about it, they used to turn back to that incorrect position (of course!).

Brilliant explanation thanks

Too much time talking about what not to do.

I would benefit from seeing more video of the rider actually riding the canter at the end, with Mary speaking/coaching as she does.
