Thank you for the clear demonstration. It seems that English riding has so much technique and American riding has none. It is wonderful to see that is not the case.
@@thesentientsword8480 There is definitely technique behind every thing we do in western riding. However, I think it varies a lot from rider to rider and trainer to trainer. There are also dozens of different disciplines within western riding which affects techniques as well.
@@jth1195 the most comfortable way to ride a trot is the post but having the ability to sit, post, or stand gives you a break if you’re having to trot a long way.
It's best not to trot, most horses have a rough gate when they trot and it's very tiring to ride in this manner. Walking or in a gallop is much better.
@@MrDan7171 but a horse can trot forever and not tire so learning how to ride a trot is important. Especially if you have a lot of ground to cover. Thanks for commenting!
Weight out of the stirrups was such good advice!!
@@kbwilder I hope it helps!

You did an excellent demonstration, but it still did not look comfortable.
