We’re back in the swing of things this week, and our participants are diving into some exciting new skills!
This week’s focus is on posting the trot—a rhythmic rising and sitting motion that helps the rider stay in sync with the horse’s natural two-beat trot gait. It’s all about timing and feel, and our riders are doing a great job learning the rhythm!
We're also working on the two-point position (also known as the "half-seat"). In this position, the rider lifts slightly out of the saddle, maintaining balance and control primarily through the legs—specifically the knees and thighs. This position is essential for developing a strong seat and better communication with our equine partners.
Both of these techniques are vital building blocks for confident, connected riding. Great job to everyone for their hard work and enthusiasm this week!
