Sitting trot was the hardest thing I have ever taught myself to do! I hope this video helps you and I would love it if you let me know whether the tips worked for you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you for these videos! I am a complete beginner at riding and I feel like I’m getting more information from your videos than from my actual coach.
I've been riding for 13 years, more than half my life. I've taken years of hunter/jumper AND dressage lessons, and not one instructor ever taught me how to sit the trot. I even thought I was doing it right, because no instructor ever told me otherwise, and that it was just supposed to be that jolting. After watching your video and practicing it on just a handful of rides, I feel relatively competent at sitting trot - not perfect, but lightyears better than before. You are an exceptional teacher, Josie. Thank you for doing what you do!
I’ve been checking out how to do this on different videos and your explanation is the first that I have actually understood. Can’t wait to try this again now.
I'm glad it helped! I would love to hear how you go with it Jennifer. Just remember, it takes a while to learn new things and build habits so be kind to yourself while your learning it.🙂
I hope it helps. Try not to feel guilty as we all have to learn somewhere. I alway think that I give my horses a kind and loving home where they want for nothing so I’m sure they don’t mind helping me become a better rider 😊
As a new rider, I watched this video 4 weeks ago, employed the technique, & it has had a tremendous impact for both, horse & I. We’ve been working every week, & have had wonderful success in the last 4 weeks!They are truly helpful, & jam packed with wisdom, & clear instruction. Thank you so much…!!! 🌺😊
@@BasicHorseTraining I hope others find you, & follow your instructions, & report back! 🌺 The content you make is very concise, & helpful. Keep up the great instructions, you’ve made a impactful difference in our riding journey. My trainer was VERY IMPRESSED by my new trot skills…all thanks to you. 🌺♥️
I was almost ready to give up riding and sell my horse and then I found your channel and it’s given me hope. I am stripping my riding right back to basics and really looking forward to trying out some of your tips.
Oh, Ashley please don't give up. Horses are so good for our souls. I hope that my videos help you. Please feel free to email me josie@basichorsetraining with any issues you are stuck with, any frustrations you have or anything that doesn't make sense. I will do my best to help you. 💗
I CANNOT thank you enough!! I am a jumper, we took out our stirrups a few days ago in a lesson and I really got to put this into practice. I got compliments on my seat and got my horse to move nicely, he’s not the most sensitive, so that felt awesome! Your explanation gave me my aha moment! Thank you so much! 😁
AMAZING! My last few rides ended up with frustration bcos it felt so hard for me to do the sitting trot even after watching some videos. But after last night watching this, today i tried to FEEL that right-left diagonal movement and voila! ..at the end of the practice my coach ask me to canter! Achievement unlocked! Thank you so much for your explanations that’s actually make sense! 🙏🏻
Ahh this is exciting to read! I’ve just now started to practice my sitting trot and after flopping around like a sack of potatoes, comments like this give me hope 🙏🏻
This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much I like how you actually showed us the way you move in the saddle on the ground! I’m a beginner with weekly lessons and this helped a lot!
I remember watching this when I had a lot of trouble with sitting trot and canter. Now it feels like a literal swing, especially with big-gaited horses. Thanks!
Just started lessons 3 months ago and i ride terrible, never consistent with either trot (2 point and sitting) so I've been watching tons of youtube videos. Thank goodness i found you, you're the first one who got off your horse to show the movements, plus the green buckle while riding, the breathing tip etc, etc. Please keep making videos and in the meantime I'll bing watch your channel, I'm also subscribed, thank you again for your thorough explanations!!!!!
This is a million dollar video! I had countless instructors that each had their own way of teaching sitting trot. ( from youngster to now a senior) I’d say I’m a rusty intermediate rider in everything except the sitting trot. Watched your video and rode for the first time since. It felt magical, like I was actually moving with the trot! Thank you!
The transition from rising trot, to sitting trot, to walk, is where I’m now having difficulty. If the horse braces going into walk, (not walking immediately) how do you stay relaxed to sit trot as I’m bracing my body for a firmer whoah.
This video is fantastic, thankyou so much for sharing! It's really the only explanation that has actually helped my sit-trot and we are finally getting quality steps :)
This is great advice. I really struggle with my sitting trot, i am all over the place. Many private hours and I was never told I had to do anything, just sit back! I will definitely try all these and see how it works for me, thank you !
Funny you talked about how the ankle must flex- the ONLY way I could sit trot in the beginning was with no stirrups, doing ankle circles- otherwise I would tense up and start gripping. But the ankle circles eventually got my focus off of gripping, AND helped me learn how to flex the ankle. It took a long time for me to be able to sit WITH stirrups, haha, but I got there! Greta videos, you are the best!
Yep! You need to balance and not grip. It's a hard lesson to learn ... now I'm going to go out and see if I can circle my ankles without stirrups so thank you for the tip 😊.
I've watched so many vids on this topic and you are the only one that covers the entire body's jobs. Especially pushing down through the feet. Keeping the arms soft is another one otherwise they bounce. So much thanks.
Reminds me of Michael Jackson moves right ??? 😄 thank you for this seriously I NEEDED to see it on the ground like you're showing us... I've had horses for 14 years and NO ONE has shown this to me.. THANK YOU and my horses thank you 💯💯🐎🐎🐎🐎💖💖💖💖
I have just watched your sit trot video from a year ago I think it was,.amazing description and teaching..I was totally entertained when you showed examples of incorrect riding positions you were so funny. All power to you Josie.xx
What a fab way you have of explaining and demonstrating the sit trot. I have struggled so much with this on my very bouncy Friesian. He tries so hard to keep trotting but everytime I bounce, he walks as it is uncomfortable for him. With your help and lots of practice I'm sure I will do him justice and crack this. Thank you.
Really great Teacher and I've seen multiple videos but the way you actually explain each thing is exactly what I'm thinking every question I found you answered in great sequence. and use of the belt buckle as a visual aid is really great.
Love your comments about slightly weighting the stirrups n ankles flexing absorbing some of the shock. My instructor says whit your saying. I need to get a old of the sitting trot so I can ask properly for canter departs. Ta lady.
You showing ow the movement should be out of Sadler was 1000%helpful!! Great video!!!! Also, I think this needs to be a tiktok dance,” The Sit Trot” I just have a feeling it would be the next big craze! Lol
Hello, I so needed to see this video for me to truly understand English style of riding. I come from a Western style background. I had my second lesson this past Monday and it was wayyyyyyyyy better than my first. I have not been on a horse in a long time and now learning how to balance myself on an English saddle. Wow! Anyways, thank you for this informative video. I will now subscribe and watch every video that you will make.
Wonderful explanation ... I'm a visual learner as well. Your videos help me so much ... thank you 🙂 I also love seeing the difference in Rebel as you ride showing us how to and how not to ... that's another good illustration of how important our own tone and going with our horses are.
This helped me so much, I always had trouble with it, but yesterday it went so great, I wasnt bouncing around anymore, thank you x Only when my pony was trotting as fast as the others were cantering hahahah, that is just not sitable.
Thanks for the help, I’m a young kid who wants to learn to horse ride and I had no idea that I was doing trotting completely wrong, thank you so much for the help
the visual representation helped me so much! i missed all our lessons on sitting tror and were now onto canter, adeguate spacing and control in canter (around other horses and on a circle) so i would feel quite weird asking about it now with all the other people getting it and it being almost 5 years since i started taking lessons
and also a reason ive been struggling so much with it is because my techer, when i asked about it just said lean back more, which threw me off balance so much making it even harder to sit in the saddle.
I just found your videos and wow... The best I have seen till now referring sitting the trot. Thank you so much 😍. I am a beginner with 49 years and I have so much to learn. Now I will look all your other videos. Thanks 👍👍👍.
This was so helpful! I have my first show in a day and we will be sitting the trot, a lot! I am surely one of those people who get super stiff. Thank you again🙂
Waow. I just learned sitting and rising trot. But I wasn't quite sure if I was doing it right. This video explained better. Now I know that I was doing it wrong. Thank you for the great video.
Ty for this. Horses, where I train, are Lipizzan and I've heard from experienced riders that they are less comfortable to ride compared to other breeds. I'm learning sitting trot and I'm doing my best not to bounce. I hope this tip helps me. ♥
Great video, thank you :-) The green dot on your belt buckle and learning the movement on the ground as well as the horse made it easier to understand.
Thank you so much for this excellent video. I have shared this with my daughter and I will be using this with my riding students. Absolutely brilliant!
I really enjoyed this video. As I've gotten older sitting well on my big WB has been a battle for me. It's stiffness with age I guess! Along with yoga and pilates and practice it's coming back. This video really nailed some of the issues. You sit very nicely! :-)
This has been very helpful, I’ve added this to my training & starting to feel the difference. Thank you. I have a standard breed, having trouble with teaching him to canter. He strikes off on correct lead in front, but not getting hind legs correct. Only holds for 2-3 strides, then brakes into a pace or Trott. Have you any Suggestions to help me to help him. 😊
I'm glad this was helpful. To be honest with you Ruth I have had no experience with retraining standardbreds so can't offer you much help I'm sorry . Perhaps you could find someone that specialises in retaining them and ask for advice there. I wish I could offer you more - sorry
It sounds like your horse is 4 beat cantering. It might help to just try to push a bit, but here’s a video that might be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/hfB64G2X_KM/v-deo.html
Just got my first riding lesson today and when I asked the instructor if I should keep my legs tight on the horse she said to keep my knees engaged at all times. Should I do it like that or should let a bit loose when doing a sitting trot?
Sitting trot was the hardest thing I have ever taught myself to do! I hope this video helps you and I would love it if you let me know whether the tips worked for you. Thank you for watching.
This lesson is absolutely!!! I appreciate!!!
Thank you ☺️
So you do summer clinics? I’d like to fly over and attend a camp, if one’s available.
Best teacher ever

this is brilliant! "when we move in time with them we give the illusion we are not moving and sitting still". this changed everything for me.
It changed everything for me too Gabrielle. I'm so glad. 😊
Holding this thought close now: “give yourself permission to be a beginner”. Thank you!
You are welcome 😊
Thank you!! I really struggle with this and feel guilty bouncing on my horse's back whenever I attempt this.. I'll give your tips a try :)

Thanks! This really helped me. Even after one ride I felt improvement.
Hard to see your belt buckle in most shots, but you arw clear in expressing and showing the idea anyway! Thanks very much....

BEST description of learning sitting trot I have ever seen!!
Thank you 🙂
This video is fantastic, thankyou so much for sharing! It's really the only explanation that has actually helped my sit-trot and we are finally getting quality steps :)
So glad it helped! Such a good feeling when you start to get some good steps 😆
i've seen countless videos by professionals and non-professionals. this is the best one!
Thank you so much Lisa. 😊
This is great advice. I really struggle with my sitting trot, i am all over the place. Many private hours and I was never told I had to do anything, just sit back! I will definitely try all these and see how it works for me, thank you !
I’m hoping it is as miraculous for you as it was for me 🤞🤞. Remember you will get it then lose it then get it. 😊
Love how you said sorry to your horse. ❤️
They are such forgiving creatures ♥️

Subbed! I like the way youb teach because you really break it down
Thank you and welcome 🙂
This really is a great explanation BUT I gotta say, I dunno how in the world you were able to demonstrate this with a straight face😳 lol
😂I was laughing when I edited it .... BUT ... it worked so well for me I needed to share it no matter how silly I looked 😆
Just got my first riding lesson today and when I asked the instructor if I should keep my legs tight on the horse she said to keep my knees engaged at all times. Should I do it like that or should let a bit loose when doing a sitting trot?
Thank you!! Very good explanations!!
I’m glad you liked it. 🙂
Looks like a hip workout... Im going horse riding today for the first time hope it goes well lol
I hope you had a hip work out too 😆
