| Beginner Horseback Riding Lesson: Using Poles to Help a Rider Learn How to Post This is Hannah's first lesson on Marley. She has had about 5 riding lessons in total. Hannah is 6 years old and riding very well for her age and level of experience. We are working on bringing her lower leg under her so she doesn't have so much of a "chair seat." Chair seat means that the rider has her legs out in front of her and is using the stirrups to push herself back in her saddle, up against the cantle. Riders usually assume a chair seat position because they don't want to commit to being up over the horse's motion - they are afraid of falling forward over the neck. For posting the trot, the riders legs should be in alignment with her hips, so that if the horse were to disappear out from underneath her, she would land on her feet. The posture is a lot like the athletic stance once assumes for tennis. Marley is a 5 year old, 14h Welsh Cob. He is offered for sale. www.ponypros.net |
| In my entire life I haven't experienced riding on a horse. Though I wanted to I had cold in doing so. I made an attempt to undergo training, but I always put it off until I gave up. I am so impressed with Hannah. She has the courage to learn horse riding at young age. I am so thankful to hear important points about horse riding. They are very useful. I may pursue my own training before long. |
