I’m a pilates instructor and you explaining it like this helped me! My instructor is young and she’s very patient. But she’s not really explaining the process on proper position
Thank you! I have a weak core and terrible seating posture, and watching your videos and how you've managed to gently coax the horse into movement with slight changes to your posture has inspired me to start working on this (even at home as I'm typing this)
Thank you for the simple and clear explanation. I have returned to the saddle after a 20 year break.I am looking forward to putting your methods in practice
Yoga helped me immensely with my position, I do lots of hip openers and ab stuff, a 20 minute yoga video focused on the core can do more than a million situps, and it isn't nearly as tedious, haha! Downward dog is great for heel flexion, as well, and toss in a little pilates and it will help so much, especially if you are just starting- I started to progress almost exponentially once I started doing yoga- it is worth a shot, it certainly won't hurt anything! I can't wait to try your stretch and exercise videos, I love seeing what works for other equestrians!
I just had my first lesson today and i felt so embarrassed my instructor kept having to correct my posture but she was super nice. But i wont lie i was raised a perfectionist. Some old habits die hard. But honestly i was scared. I never noticed how high it felt on a horse so I want to make sure i dont develop any bad habits from day 1
I dont have trouble finding the position but inride western, and when sitting as im supposed to, I feel like my seat bones are trying to drill through my skin. It bruises. Any suggestions for this?
Hi 😊 there are a couple things you can try. the first is having a professional saddle fitter check that your saddle is a good fit for you. The other thing you can try is putting a gel seat cover on your saddle 🐴
@Jenna you could be riding in a saddle that is better fit for the male riders pelvis. It happens way more often than you would think. It also causes loss of the writer position issues when a rider doesn’t know they’re not in the correct fitting saddle. Here is a video that might be able to help you out if your seat bones hurt because of a saddle that is better suited for a male pelvis. You can also find so many more videos on this UA-cam channel to help you figure out if your saddle fit you correctly in that area and if it is causing you pain. m.ua-cam.com/video/wkOtaOJSQKk/v-deo.html
Hi Jennifer 😀 I’m so glad you found the video helpful! I do a lot of work with my horses focusing on relaxation and patience. Scarlet who is in this video and Crosby are both off the track thoroughbreds. Neither of them are naturally very patient. So I was very proud of what a good girl Scarlet was during this demonstration. Maybe in the future I can do more videos talking about the things I do to increase my horses relaxation and patience:)
I have a four year old Morgan so Legend is such an inspiration to me! I would love to see more videos on standing to be mounted and patience. OTTBs! Their temperaments are awesome!
It's great that you post these videos to explain and help people. But, since you are teaching beginners, shouldn't you show them where in the saddle to sit, so that the saddle is balanced correctly? To me it looks like the saddle in this video is too small for you, and that to fit your long legs your seat gets pushed too far back in the saddle and you end up pushing the back of the saddle down into the horses back. I know this can be a big problem for taller riders, as they just need more room for their long legs. I normally wouldn't say anything, but since you seem to have a channel based on teaching what is correct, I thought it would be okay to point this out.
Hi😊 Thanks for reaching out. A correctly balanced saddle and where to sit in the saddle are wonderful topics to cover in a future video. The saddle and horse in this video are owned by a student of mine who is much shorter than me and very petite. So I agree that the saddle is not an ideal fit for me. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and these are things I will definitely consider in future videos.
Is it necessary to have totally flexible spine for horse riding? My spine is fused with metal rods from T9 to L4 vertebrae. I did walk n rising trot well. But im nt sure if i can do sitting trot, i found it difficult.
Hi it's a great video. Could you clarify about the pelvic neutral position. While seated you show us three positions for the pelvis- back, forward and neutral. But when laying down you find your neutral position by flattening lower back to the floor, which looks like a full forward posture. Thanks!
Hi😀 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.Great question:) My goal in showing the exercises lying on the ground is to help you feel that your core can stabilize your lower back. I found that many times when starting riding we don’t have enough core stability. A lack of corn engagement can lead to too much inward rotation of the pelvis. You don’t have to go to a full engagement like I did on the floor when riding. However getting that feeling of engaging your core can help you when you get in the saddle to have more stability:) I hope that makes sense and helps 💕
Hi Warrick, Yes 👍 I teach riding lessons to both men and women. I teach both men and women to ride with a neutral pelvis. In this position you’re able to have the full range of motion with your pelvis and absorb the shock of the horses movement with more ease.

Hi! When I get older I want to be a gamer/vlogger I can play video games and own beautiful Horses.
Love 😍👌🏻👏🏻
Excellent video. I am going to work on opening my hips. How does Crosby stand do still? My horse would wander off.

very well said, from first moment I cannot follow the viedeo because I stare at the sitting position itself.
Can you advise on the correct sitting position on the saddle in proximity to the front and back?
thanksss
Thank you
عالی nice من عاشق سوارکاری هستم.

Is the posterior position what u would use to ask ur horse to stop?
How old you got legend?
He is 11 years old now 🐴
@@JSHorsemanship WOW, So Great to hear his age...He's one of the cool horse....:D

I do horseback riding and gymnastics so the position wasn’t to hard for me

hey I have just started learning at 24 but I'm a guy. Is this the same for me or do i have to do something different?
