That was the best explanation of how to use your core to ride properly. Thank you for that!

[@syzygyfarm]

"As well as being a certified bad*ss.." OMG I loved that! Great video, thank you!

[@chrisp7548]

I really like how you showed the right way and the wrong way. That makes it so much easier tounderstand. Great video! Thank you!

[@Rachel-ge3gl]

Hands down, best explanation for the biomechanics of pelvis and core in canter. And I've seen lots of demos. Thank you!

[@matthewbuchanan9876]

This was awesome! More videos from your wife! That was such a good explanation!

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

Best way to learn how to sit for canter? Learn how to move at the walk, Learn a sitting trot and how to be flexible through your core whilst being strong, then the canter is very smooth and easy, soft transition, Not excitement and Tense Also for female riders, something i found helpful as an Instructor, Is to get them to engage their pelvic floor (kegel muscles) with the core

[@Trapezius8oblique]

Explained very well with great demonstrations thank you

[@shannonhayden6912]

Thank you Emily! I love her contributions to the channel.

[@kaydring2630]

I’ll certainly do that next time I ride … thanks for sharing ! 👍

[@ellierose6]

This should be a viral lesson. Thank you.

[@LMMdrummerchick]

Great lesson ,Thankyou.

[@Krinsta1]

This is very helpful just for back care alone. I'm considering getting back into horse riding after 30 years of not riding. I'm probably too old now, and years of doing a nursing job hasn't been the best for my body.

[@sandrajohnson2141]

What a great video! Helped out a lot. Keep up the good work

[@lisakuehn6436]

Excellent explanation

[@shizam1400]

Super explanation and video. Could see straight away how differently horse moved and looked when you did it the wrong way.

[@meetandcode]

Clear and right to the point. Thanks !

[@kelleyharris214]

Super helpful information, can't do anything but appreciate what you've shared. 😊

[@chessiesonthedock]

This was fantastic information and super helpful.

[@akcourtney1]

Excellent explanation! Thank you Emily

[@akcourtney1]

I just watched it again and I love that I can practice at walk and not disturb my horses gait. I’m assuming it’s the same with a gaited horse? I just bought a TWH for hubby.

[@jackiesurridge8178]

Great instruction, made it clear and can see the difference when actually shown right from wrong.

[@marymcclavey8395]

Nice explanation and example of technique. Thank you.

[@JohnDoe-qu8ny]

Nice 👍 thanks Ryan good job you guys love ❤️

[@Lou.B]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! One of my close friends is a Doula, and she teaches Mothers about this awareness and physicality! Men! Pay attention!

[@fantasticfjords]

this is great, thank you

[@claudiariley5518]

I had to relearn how to ride when I cam back to riding. When I had regular lessons as a child we were taught to grip on as hard as possible with our thighs

[@emilypilger9382]

That’s a hard habit to break!

[@AimEmery]

So true! I remember the instructors yelling “grip with those legs!”

[@roxanneboudreau9806]

Awesome thanks.

[@Madisyn_Mustang_Makeover]

Please make more of these video these help me a lot

[@ryanrosehorsemanship]

👍👌

[@LorryMLewis]

It would be much more effective if you removed your vest to SHOW the tone in your lower stomach muscles. Also, is it the same in a western saddle? I am also always thinking about my sit bones and where they should be in the saddle

[@debbiejames4819]

I can not wait to do this at my next lesson

[@jess3310]

Thank you for this. :) These exercises seem to be ones that we can do off the horse while we're sitting at work or driving to work. I struggle with the canter after having many years off and having rods put into my lower back. Core strength is definitely lacking!

[@meretefrandsen9340]

Very nice👍 that’s The Way - be suppel - thank you for you’r videos. Best regards from The bare back rider😉

[@michelleford7392]

Excellent, clear, and informative video. Thanks!! Question: Why do so many dressage riders lean backwards? And/or appear slumped down like a sack in their saddle? Should they “sit the heck up straight” like it looks like to me, or am I missing something? Thank you in advance!!

[@tierapersing7220]

I really appreciate your explanation of the motion, however, not every horse is as smooth as the one you are riding, it is easy to remain in the saddle with the circular motion on a smooth gait but not every horse is smooth, so to say there should never be any air time is unrealistic. I'm not saying you should be way out of the saddle but an inch or so is fine as long as you have control upon the landing so that there is no jarring on the horses back while still having that circular motion.

[@emilypilger9382]

Thanks for your comment. I do agree with you that not all horses are smooth, but generally speaking, you want to try and follow the motion of the individual horse the best you can.

[@tierapersing7220]

@@emilypilger9382 For sure.

[@Kimberlyk12]

And many times horses don't "feel" smooth because the rider hasn't figured out this concept. Along with helped their horse have a balanced canter

[@KM-lu7nh]

Hope I can remember and am able to do this. I struggle with the canter. I get panicked when the horse starts going faster and worry about staying on and steering. I've taken dressage and hunter/jumper lessons and have been told different ways to canter, so I've remained confused.

[@cottoncandy4486]

If you tighten your core too much your diaphram goes up too, making your breathing shorter. Hence then your tenseness increases. Called ancillary breathing like someone with a chest infection and maybe asthma.Or swimmers.

[@lisazappolo9989]

Excellent instruction! At upper level dressage events and even a couple of other disciplines, I have seen riders that are sort of rounded at the shoulders rather than erect with shoulders back. It looks awful. Is this an attempt to utilize their core without regard to the rest of their body which makes them look like a sack of potatoes? Is it somehow beneficial to the horse and/or rider? I hate that look but will stand corrected if there is a benefit to it.

[@robinweigel5204]

Hi, thanks for the informative video. Question... I heard one trainer talk about the canter being more of an upward circular motion than a scooping motion. Is this just semantics, or is there a difference?

[@kmiklaszewski]

Definitely keep in mind and use the backwards circle motion with the seat. I have been taught to add jump with the pelvis in the up and beck part of the circle just after the down beat When your pelvis finishes going forward in the circle and then when you make the front of the circle coming up and making the top of the circle and then coming back down making the back of the circle near the quinta when your pelvis finishes going forward in the circle and then when you make the front of the circle coming up and making the top of the circle and then coming back down making the back of the circle near the Cantle of the saddle. The horse’s back does have jump or and up and back motion when the horse is going from the front feet and then starting the new canter stride on the hind feet. There is a great JJ Tate video on

[@kmiklaszewski]

@Robin Here is a video link for a video that talks a bit about the jump or upwards taller backwards circle for more on the hindquarters or for a more collected canter. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIfFg4t-e86YhqM

We used to say, "scrub the saddle."

[@emilypilger9382]

I like that saying!

[@Fuzzybudget]

@@emilypilger9382 It sure made it easy to remember how it's done ☺

[@lindsayCswain]

Any tips on leg position?

[@ES-vv9bd]

Hi! I board my horse at a barn and was thinking of taking lessons with her since she is trained very differently from my horse I had growing up. I just want to be sure we find the right rhythm together as partners. I heard in one of your videos that if we are patreon members of your channel we could get riding advice from you by asking questions and sending in videos. Just wanted to be sure this was the case? Please let me know!

[@MorganJServices]

I am a Patreon member. You are correct about being able to get advice and send in videos for coaching.

[@imagineifyouwereaworm]

Your leg should also be on the girth, if you’re riding English then removing thigh blocks can help immensely

[@rebeccaswayze1517]

I would love to see a video where she explains how to ride bareback.

I used to do the pulling belly button in and I developed back problems as I bounced all over. I ended up at PT and learned the Bloom Method and now my butt sticks to the saddle. I ride Western and used to do Dressage. thebloommethod.com/blog/stop-pulling-bellybutton-spine
