You are amazing! You say some very similar things as my instructor, glad i found you, i am taking a break for financial reasons, but am starting back soon and this is excellent to refresh what i have learned so far from my instructor! The J idea is very helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it.

I ride western but you are so translatable I think it’s helpful thanks

[@reflectionsfromthesaddle]

excellent. love that it's applicable to other disciplines

[@annjohnson8437]

This video was great. The clock analogy was especially helpful!

[@reflectionsfromthesaddle]

So glad! It really does help to visualize and control the subtleties of your seat!

[@sallymcgraw3147]

Very well said. I want to add keeping the riders arm relaxed and giving 😊

[@reflectionsfromthesaddle]

I like to think of a receiving feeling in the hands. The energy that is created in the hind legs flows over the topline and into the contact. We don't want to take and shut that down nor do we want it to escape away either.

Great video! Thank you for nice breakdowns.

[@reflectionsfromthesaddle]

Wow what a great lesson. Thank you so much!

[@reflectionsfromthesaddle]

You're very welcome! Is there anything you'd like me to cover in future videos?

[@MMM-tr3cm]

@@reflectionsfromthesaddle Maybe an episode about transitions and how to connect hindlegs and pelvis in them. Would love to hear your thoughts about that.

[@reflectionsfromthesaddle]

@MMM-tr3cm sounds like a great idea! we've had so much snow and below freezing temps but as soon as I can get back in the saddle (meaning when the arena is rideable) I will put a video series together.
