My coach didnt teach us how to do it correctly , he would make us stand up and sit down , this helped so much , ill be sure to do this when im alone in the arena!
This video of you not being on the horse and showing this is so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for this detailed and perfect explanation! 😊 Made it so clear!
I can tell that, this video is the only reason I know how to rise the trot now😅 I am in a country where I can't speak the language well so your videos help me a lot! ❤
I had a aha moment by watching your video. I finally understand what’s wrong with my rising trot. Thank you so much ! I can not wait to try this on my horse!
I tried it on a horse and felt that my feet were stable and not swing around like before . Since my feet were stable my leg cue for canter from trot was clear and we had a good transition to canter from trot. I was though a bit concerned if my back was hollow while swinging my pelvis. Is there any way to check that ? Thank you again for your help.
thank you for your reply. I guess that is the best way to check my posture. If you have any other tips for swinging pelvis, or for the rising trot, I would appreciate it.
Thank you so much - excellent and detailed explanation of the correct and incorrect way to do rising trot. Hugely helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this!
I started equestrian lesson last month, it was 10 session. So, to day was the last session. Until yesterday I have no idea what all about up-and-down which was my instructor taught me. But, yesterday I watched this video, today me and the horse went trot!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for being willing to show and point out even unideal aspects of your riding, as you suggest. Whether “natural” or for instruction’s sake, you illustration is helpful for its positive and corrective aspects.
I’m just a pleasure rider but I’ve been riding for 40 years and I finally understand! I’m so sorry Max!(my current horse). You are a Godsend! Thank you!🙏🏻
Great démonstration ! What muscles are you using to get your seat out of the saddle and what pieces of your body are in contact with the saddle and how much is that contact (like all your weight is in your feet or your calf?)
Thank you😊 I mainly use my glutes and hamstrings to open the hips but of course there are many more muscles (well the whole body actually) involved as well. I have a light contact with the inside of my calf and also the inside of my knee and thigh, however it´s very important not to squeeze with the leg. Of course I have more contact with my seat when I come back to the saddle but I try to sit down very lightly before rising back up and I definitely don´t put all my weight in the saddle. So I would say that most of my weight is on the stirrups when doing the rising trot, some of it being distributed also to the insides of my legs (thighs). I hope that makes any sense at all😅
Awesome video, Johanna! Question: When you post the trot, are you supposed to hold with the calves? When i put my knees forward and down and my toes are forward as well, the leg swings a bit.
Do you mean hold on to the horse with calves? You definitely want to have tone in your calves to support your ankle, but you shouldn't hold on to the horse. If your leg is swinging it might also indicate that you're not completely in balance, but of course it's hard to say without actually seeing🤔 Hope this helps at all!😊
I haven't been able to keep my lower leg still since hurting my ankle in 2020. It's driving me insane! Thanks for the tips. I think I might be going up and down rather than just moving my hips.
I wouldn't say squeeze but of course the thigh should lie close to the saddle. However you shouldn't keep nudging the horse, the horse should keep going without asking all the time😊 of course sometimes you need to remind them😅
My horse is not very forward, how often should I squeeze my legs to push him forward in the trot? I sometimes find myself keep squeezing every single stride and no out comes also should I squeeze when I am up or sitting?
You definitely shouldn't be pushing him forward every stride. I know, this happens very easily! You should sensitize him to your leg and make sure he reacts. When doing rising trot I advise to use the leg when riding away from the saddle, then your seat is also encourageing the forward movement😊 I have some videos on how to use the leg, and also how to ride a lazy horse, so check them out as well😊
Great video. Quick question: how to hold my whole body in balance when posting for long time or when a horse is kind of jumpy? Should I squeeze my knees to keep the balance?
I wouldn't recommend squeezing with the knees, that can make you even more unstable. Of course you should have your knees and thighs close to the saddle, but not squeezing. When you're in balance and you have your leg correctly under your center of gravity it's usually easy, even for longer time. If the horse has a big trot and is kind of throwing you too high or out of balance, you need your core muscles to stabilize your body.

Uuuuuuauauaaaaaaaaa
The exercises in the beginning helped me to understand. The notes about how to keep the hands still were something that other instructors leave out.
Thank you, I'm so glad I could help😊

@@the23rdLeeE That's so great!😊 About the back hollowing, could you have somebody take a video so you could see how it looks like?
thank you for your reply. I guess that is the best way to check my posture. If you have any other tips for swinging pelvis, or for the rising trot, I would appreciate it.
The best rising trot video I have seen so far.
Thank you😊

I really liked seeing this on the ground without a horse. I'm going to practice this with you.
So happy to hear that! :)

You're welcome, I hope it helps! And yes, an injury like that can definitely have a big effect.
really helpful tysm♥️♥️♥️

Tks ❤
How do I stop posting by pushing on the sirrups?
Do you gently squeeze the saddle from the knee up so you can keep nudging the horse to trot with your lower legs?
I wouldn't say squeeze but of course the thigh should lie close to the saddle. However you shouldn't keep nudging the horse, the horse should keep going without asking all the time😊 of course sometimes you need to remind them😅
@@johannajequestrianphysioThank you, so its basically like doing squats
Super video

@@johannajequestrianphysio i let you know wednesday :)

@@Strizzels Don´t worry, it will take time and practice to get it right. You´ll get there, just keep going!🙂
Is rising trot balance different for men vs women? Due to pelvic and center of gravity differences?
Of course men and women are a little bit different but so are we all with our own unique anatomy. I teach it the same way for men and women😊
What kind of horse is he? He looks just like mine and I have no idea what he is :(
He's a lusitano😊
