Possition of the Trooper Mounted

[@glynnellis6519]

Good commentary, cannot fault the US Cavalry Manual. I have rode in English saddles in my teens. Australian Stock Saddle in the outback of North Queensland, Australia. Slick fork, high back cantle in Nevada Buckeroo country. Sat on my hip pockets when I trained and competed in cutting. Other than cutting, posture is paramount. The same when dismounted. I subscribed, always been an old west aficionado.

Without your horse, you're an infantryman with bad marching boots.

This is a good video because riding correctly and with good posture is so important.

Brian, Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@mickeyholding7970]

It's equally important for the horse and the trooper to keep both of them healthy.

Very good information. Thank you.

*LIKED* the video OVH. Little by little I'm picking up riding tips. See you on the filed or around the camp fire

well said

Driving West, but also anglesriding, I know exactly what's going on. However, were cavalry horses always excellent? American Stack has a completely different gait than Mustang or Apaloosa... I can see it on the example of horse breeds found in Poland. Greetings from Poland

Amen to this!
