How to sit without being TOO heavy with your seat bones

[@zoramuney]

Please make more demonstration videos like this! I found the visuals and explanations of what you’re feeling extremely helpful!

[@ArtisticDressage]

Great! I am glad you found it helpful. We will definitely do more of these!

[@BeaKing-ob7fq]

Please make more of these - so important. Weighting of stirrups and balance would be great. Such a clear demonstration thank you for taking the time to do this and share

[@ArtisticDressage]

Will do! Thank you for the feedback!

[@ruthb6873]

Thank you for this video. Excellent, clear demonstration of the sensitivity of our horses in response to our weight aid,and the importance of paying attention to ourselves first,before jumping to the conclusion that it's the horse who has the issue.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you. Yes, sometimes it is the horse, but often it is the rider causing the horse's reaction. It makes sense to look to ourselves first before - as you said - jumping to the conclusion that it is the horse who has the issue.

So refreshing to see a relaxed horse going well 🙏

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!

[@corinnaschmid-bindl707]

Nice explanation for very underestimated or ignored issue

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you. Glad you agree!!

[@wendylow5748]

I love your talk at the end it's all about the horse. Love this video.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!!

Very good instruction on sitting trot aids, I have never seen it explained/demonstrated in this very educational way before! I struggle with this due to some old pelvis injuries but will try these tips with my mare, she tends to slow down in sitting trot and now I think I understate what I need to try when I work on this!!! Thank you so much!!

[@ArtisticDressage]

Glad it makes sense. Try it out and see how it works for you and your horse.

[@minky7252]

I have a video of a clinic riding with you in USA demonstrating this exact experimenting of weight and feel. This, more than anything else has helped me with every horse. Mine are self trained.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Wonderful that you have that on video!

[@rjb9886]

Appreciated this content. I’d love to see this kind of explanation about weighting a stirrup. I never heard about seat bones until I’d been riding 20+ years and am amazed when riders know which leg is where by feel. (That could be another cool video). Thanks for the video.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Great suggestion! Thank you! We will try to put that together for some upcoming videos.

[@karinerikssonhjelm9170]

This is really great! I watch it before riding.

[@kchajka]

Thank you! I need to unblock myself as im blocking my horses movement thank you again for this and anything on this topic!

[@ArtisticDressage]

Great! If you like this sort of thing, we will try to make more videos like this!!

[@Alex-horsman]

Very useful information for me!! I am happy, that I found your channel today! Thanks!!

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you for that feedback!

[@angelawolgast2960]

Beautifully explained ❤

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@petramichels7292]

Vielen Dank. Habe es heute probiert. Mein Pferd ist gerne hinter den Hilfen. Somit kann ich es nicht so gut nachreiten. Aber, ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass dies nach und nach klappt. Sehr wertvolle Übung.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Danke!!!

[@betsysmall3576]

Great video!!

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!

[@sandrawhisler1545]

Thanks. I also enjoy your book.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!

[@janetgerl893]

Thank you. Great presentation. I love the encouragement for riders to “think” feel and experiment.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you. That is very important to us.

[@lorrainebottreau8791]

You have lovely position. And your explanation is super clear. I am a coach and it is so useful for both myself and my students as hard to explain the light seat.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!

[@kimnenninger7226]

Very good video but I will have to watch it a few times.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Great! You can do that, luckily!! :-)

[@laureradloff3804]

More like this!

[@ArtisticDressage]

okay!!! Thank you!

[@kmsreenan]

Very helpful discussion and demo- I will watch this several times! Currently working on this myself, still trying to figure out how my mare wants to be ridden!

[@ArtisticDressage]

That's the key! Glad you found it helpful!

[@emilycorwith1119]

Such a nice demonstration and lovely horse.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!

[@suebeavisnhccontact1731]

Thank you very much. Really appreciate all thehelp . Regards from Spain.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Glad to hear you found it helpful. Thank you!!

[@dirtyruby2009]

Very clear, well demonstrated video, thank you. Could this same technique be used in trot to canter transition?

[@ArtisticDressage]

Yes, absolutely. Experiment and see what your horse responds best to.

[@Konstantinaroesch1973]

Beautiful demo. Thank you! New subscriber today.

[@ArtisticDressage]

Welcome to our channel! Thank you! +

[@martzenvandenbroek]

Jeebus, I've been riding like this for ages and everybody was like, you're not sitting deep enough in your horse❤❤❤❤

[@ArtisticDressage]

Yes, this has been the advice du jour for some time, but not all advice suits every situation or horse/rider pair.

[@CamillaHjalti]

very nice video! Thanks!

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!

[@sandragrenz7694]

Awesome!

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thanks!

[@taniaspencer3966]

Great video thank you ❤

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you!

[@katiethiry]

Curious; what breed is this beautiful horse?

[@ArtisticDressage]

Thank you. He's a PSL (Lusitano).

[@katherinekirby8667]

can you do this in a posting trot?

[@lauracox4009]

Thank you. How can I get my horse lighter in the bridle while keeping him round. He can do about on e half of a circle at trot with good connection then his head pops up.

[@loredelore7286]

This is what young folks are not being taught.

[@ArtisticDressage]

It depends who is teaching them. There is a huge amount of disparity between teachers, depending on their background and education. We have many students all over the world who are professional instructors, passing this knowledge down to their students.

[@linas7266]

Is this Spain ? Is this a Spanish horse ?

[@terrido]

They are in Portugal. This lovely boy is an iberian breed, I believe he is an Andalusian.

[@Flightwithoutwings]

​@terrido Portugal have Lusitano horses similar to the Andalusian.

[@ArtisticDressage]

We are in Portugal and this is a Lusitano.

People look up to you. Set an example and wear protective headgear I. Your videos.
