My biggest "A HA" moment was when I felt that I had my horse totally "through" in the half pass (never got lower than an "8" in shows). Then, I had to figure out how to keep the same feeling when riding on straight lines....your banana description is a deceptively easy way to explain a complicated subject. It gives you that visual even when riding on "straight" lines.

Hi Alecia. I love the Banana analysis. I have had massive problems with my 5 yr old OTTB cantering. We are making some huge strides. I started back riding him in September after 2 months of EPM treatment. The EPM affected his right hind. We started out our rehab and I over exaggerated the Banana in my seat. We did a schooling show Intro B last weekend and improved our collective marks by .5 to 1 point. We had a break through with the Canter and getting stronger everyday. Thank you 😊

Hi Alicia really looking forward to this episode. I just have to tell you this!!! I have never been more grateful or so utterly moved in connection to my riding than I am right now. I have stopped the peg thing and I could really feel my hips opening I am constantly practicing putting my weight into the stirrups (as I have to continually correct this new position until it is fully integrated) the difference this has made for my horse is mind blowing he is taking up a light, on the bit contact, with the most sensational ease and when I give the rein he immediately seeks the bit and lowers his head. Alicia you may never know how grateful I am to you, it is so hard to put into words and I feel so emotional. After a lifetime of frustration and feeling like such a failure as a rider I am overcome with joy and so excited for what may be possible in the future as a senior rider. May the force be with you all the way to the Olympics, I couldn't think of a more deserving soul. With so much love and appreciation. Yours faithfully Gareon Oh P.S. He is making white foam on one side and just wet on the other. Is this about his suppleness on one side?

Thanks so much for this compilation video. I have quite a lot of experience ( as an amateur) with young or green horses and done ok, but have always felt that I have a handicap when it came to the lateral movements. It is like I have to try too hard and it frustrated me because that always creates some tension in me and then of course, the horse. The "ahaa" moment for me was your banana analogy and I have been using that as a mantra ever since. I just sit 'in the hole' every time I bend my horse or move his shoulder this way or that - it has stopped me from trying too hard and keeps the tension out of my riding - The improvement is astounding!

Great question Marie! A good way to think about is firstly your goals with the horse - if you are never going to compete FEI then you may never need to use one if you do not wish to. Then the important thing for the individual horse is that the horse needs to be connected in the snaffle always in training before starting with the double xx

Have been using this on simple circles and corners and it really helps. I’ve been finding the right spot according to a feeling - a feeling of the horse’s movement going through the space between the top of my pelvis and my spine, on the side that’s over the inside of the banana. I keep the same amount of weight going down each side of my body, but the inside weight goes a bit more into the stirrup on that side, and the outside weight stays a bit more in the hip on that side. It’s very slight with a balanced horse, but keeps me from being pushed to the outside.

Many thanks Jayne x
@YourRidingSuccess2 жыл бұрын
Hi Jayne, great question, yes if the horse is tilting the head it can mean the rider has uneven contact and this is the first thing to check, if this does not solve it then the horse could need some more suppleness or upright balance in the shoulders, to check this try riding some circles with leg yield and see it is helps and serpentines to check both sides, this will both increase suppleness and also help the horse balance better onto hind legs. Hope this helps x

Thank you again for an excellent video! I'm having real a block with the banana analogy / understanding where to sit, and I just wanted to chuck it out there. My issue is with controlling direction at the same time as controlling bend. I have a tendency to put more weight into the outside stirrup to control the direction when I want my horse to bend to the inside. So for instance, in a shoulder in I put weight into the outside stirrup to keep the horse on the track. I'm struggling to reconcile this with sitting to the inside of the banana. So I guess I've got two questions: 1) Are weight in the stirrup and position in the saddle separate things? Should I be sitting to the inside and putting weight in my outside stirrup? Or: 2)If sitting to the inside of the banana means having more weight to the inside of the banana, then how do I control the direction of my horse? For instance, how do I keep him out on the track in a shoulder in? I know you explained about this in the part of the video regarding the horse falling in on the circle, and trying to let the horse to balance himself, but I feel like if I tried that my horse and I would just spiral in to a halt. We're a bit too uneducated for that! So I guess my question is how do you balance your horse and direct your horse whilst shifting your weight to the hole in the banana? Sorry if this has been asked before and I missed it. Thank you again for another brilliant video, the effort you guys put into this channel is really obvious and so appreciated :)

Great questions Adele! We are checking with Alicia and the team for you! Watch this space for an update :]

Hi Adele! Update for you- The answer for this is actually not so much about where to sit but more about controlling the horses shoulder. The reason you are finding it confusing of where to sit on the horse is because you are not controlling the horses shoulder with your reins. Due to that, you are trying to compensate in your body to try to steer when in actual fact you should be using the reins to control the horses shoulder and sitting in the banana. I think if you think about it in that perspective youwill realize that ou don't have so much of an issue with the banana but more an issue with steering. Hope that helps! x

I have a suggestion - can you video from behind instead of facing your front? I have a hard time coordinating my body with yours when it's opposite mine. Like when you filmed from behind when you were sitting in the saddle on the wooden horse. I visually understand it better and can mimick your movements. Thanks

I remember how shocked I was that you control your horse's speed with your seat and when I was a beginner I rose up and down with my feet and not my knees.

Hi there Alicia 😊 such a great video, very helpful to have the demo parts mixed with the theory parts. It has helped me heaps since I first saw it. Quick question, when sitting to the inside of the banana 🍌 I tend to want to lift my outside seat bone up, I am thinking you mean to move the whole position to the inside slightly, but still sit evenly on both seat bones? Rather than weighting the inside. Does that make sense? Thanks. Love your work!

@@YourRidingSuccess I love it ! Watched this morning and rode straight afterwards. Really helped remind you of where you should be. Also looking up & ahead as in Ash's video - I tend to get fixated on the ears! But looking ahead this morning was a real help. So many thanks team! You are awesome.
