You need to have a good, stable leg position while riding your horse to give your horse correct and reproducible leg aids. If you can't do this, you risk confusing your horse, and then the horse has no chance of doing what you request of him. In this video, I explain what the correct leg position looks like. First, I explain the classically correct leg position, then I tell you about the 2 most common faults riders have with their leg position, and then if you wait until the end, I give you a tip on leg pressure.
This horse riding lesson is for beginners through to advanced riders. If you want to train your horse you need to have a correct horse rider position as it is your most valuable asset. If you are looking for some dressage training for beginners through to advanced riders I hope you find my videos helpful.

Your position in the saddle is your greatest asset so take time to work on it. Your horse will love you for it. 🐴
Total knee out girl here. I tried this the other night....pulling the back of my thigh out of the way, and turned my heels OUT to roll my leg in. Oh my goodness, my balance was better, my posting was better, everything was better. You are the first person to help me get my legs correct! I thought I was just doomed with bad conformation! I recently found your videos and I'm getting a ton out of them. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much for this video - you've broken down the mystery of a good seat into a really simple idea - it's very kind of you to share this with us! I'm definitely a "knees out" rider because I always learned gripping with the knees is bad. No-one ever told me the opposite would also be a problem even though it makes total sense after you have explained it so well! I'm excited to try the correct placement you described so I can be in better balance with my horse ☺️
I’m a recovering knees out rider. Creating new muscle memory takes a lot of practice but yes it’s so worth it. Loved the pointers in here about leg placement too. I will be checking in on my leg placement per your pointers on my next ride
Getting back into riding after about 20years! Taking riding lessons.
This is an area I'm struggling with! I'm being told to turn my toes out which pulls my knees away from the saddle & creates more of a bounce, throwing me more off balance. I'm struggling to get my heels down & back, but keep my calf pressure on...other's seem to get this so easily. I find if I ride without stirrups it's easier to get the correct leg position, which tells me I'm too reliant on the stirrups for balance
After 20 years off riding I knew my trot was off but couldn’t work out why! Must remember to point my knees forward and not out, thanks for your tutorials they’re fantastic
I love your videos & watch them between my riding lessons to prepare, they are helping me so much and give me confidence both with the horse and also with asking my tutor questions so a HUGE THANK YOU!! You have a fantastic way of explaining in detail which helps me understand as I'm a total newbie to horse riding. By the way you are both absolutely "UA-cam superstars" 😂❤
The clearest and most helpful explanation I have ever heard. Thank you!!
Great instruction on leg position. You are absolutely correct on all accounts. My instructor used to tell me, “drape my legs on the side of my horse like a hunk of meat slapped onto the side of my horse.” In other words, do not grip with your legs but let your legs drop naturally with continuous light contact throughout your thighs to lower calves. Your thighs are relaxed normally.
Thank you so much for this weeks video. Such easy to understand advice. I’m definitely a knees out rider. But you’ve helped me understand where I should be and how little pressure I need. Bless you Josie. Now I can’t wait to ride tomorrow .
I cant wait to get on a horse and be mindful of this now! I used to have an amazing seat and then i had a baby and its never been the same 😅 im definitely a knee open type now!
I’m a knee out girl and this has really helped. Going to work on this on Sunday😊Thanks
thank you for this. the description that your seat goes from knee to knee was very helpful!
Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you for this video. I think I’m a mix depending on the day! Now I can find some consistency and feel seated properly at last.
I find your explanations so helpful! Thankyou❤
Hey Josie I enjoy your videos and break down and explains. I’ve been back to riding after many years off so starting over basically. My instructor is good but I think her experience is so far advanced she forgets what it’s like to be a beginner. I’ve also have found Sally Swifts book to be helpful. I’m gonna try putting some of these tips into practice today. Appreciate you sharing talents and time with us.
Thank you very much for this video!! I’ve never heard it all explained like this and it now makes sense to me. I love all your video’s. Please keep them coming.
Thanks for this video, Jodie. My challenge is keeping enough weight in my stirrups so my lower leg isn't floppy.
