[RC] Alice stick to your saddle? - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: KGK kate12091952@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Alice were you riding your new wintec 500 dressage saddle with the slick leather? did you have the knee blocks in, are your stirrups long enough. You told me you have Sally Swifts books. Look in Centered riding 2 there's a good drawing of stirrup length. were you riding in tights. maybe you could get some full seat ones to give you a little more stick. when i have to get deep and stick alot of times i'll drop my stirrups to get my legs further down on the horse. your seat in the saddle won't help if your legs aren't down on the horse and thinking , like driving a car your eyes should be everywhere , stay ahead of your horse, if you know she's not good leading you should be even more watching ahead on the trail, ears and head of the horse, and feeling the slightest change under you. i was just thinking the slick seated new saddle and something like your riding sweat pants would be hard to stay with even the slightest shy. JMHO. remember keep a leg on each side and mind in the middle. ===========================================================REAL endurance is sleeping in the tack compartment of your trailer w/the door open, and your horse snorts/snots on your forehead every 30 min! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
