Re: [RC] how to keep your seat / correct two-point - A. Perez

A recent post that mentioned correct two-points reminds me of
one of my pet theories: people who tend to fall off spend too
much time in/are only comfortable in 'two-point'.

I see a great many hunt-seat riders who are ALWAYS in two-point
if they are moving faster than a walk.  So many of these riders
do not SIT DOWN on their horse when it starts going too fast,
acting up etc.  It is essential to SIT if you are trying to get
a horse under control or to stay on during a spook. I think many
folks ride in two-point becuase they are unable to SIT their
horses gaits... something that should be practiced!

Riding alone is when you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs
to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where
you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his
cool.
