Équilibre et centre de gravité 🐎

To better support your horse while sitting as centered as possible …

Imagine a person on skis in a slalom race. The skier keeps her torso as quiet as possible while her legs move from side to side. Even if a horse is not as speedy as a skier in a race, this picture helps you understand that the rider does not need to move her whole body from side to side. Instead, she must sit centered and allow the horse to shift weight underneath her.—Susanne von Dietze

👩‍🏫

To improve your ability to ride with a forward tendency in your arms,
imagine your hands in riding position, pushing against an imaginary wall. This will give you the right feeling and, at the same time, will lengthen your back and help you sit deeper.—Susanne von Dietze

To help your half halts become more forward so they open your horse’s throatlatch...

Imagine that those half halts open the underside of your horse’s neck to make it more in the shape of a U instead of a V. —Carl Hester

To keep a relaxed, flexible feel of the reins ...

“Hold the reins as if you had a hamster in each hand. Avoid squeezing so hard that you would hurt the little creatures, but maintain enough soft tension to keep them from wriggling away.” —Karin Blignault
