RE: [RC] balance/posting - Kathy RamspottGreat advice, thank you! Kathy R - SE -----Original Message----- From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dot Wiggins Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 12:28 PM To: ridecamp Subject: Fw: [RC] balance/posting It is better for the horse if you do not post over rough, uneven, ground and twisting trails. The horse must compensate for the uneven footing so he should not have to also figure in your changing weight distribution as you post. When the surface is rapidly changing just stay quietly "over" the center of balance. "Standing" or "two point", whatever you want to call it. By all means post if you like when the fooing is better, but be sure to change diagonals often. And as Ed says, practice practice practice ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed & Wendy Hauser" <ranch@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Kathy Ramspott" <kramspott@xxxxxxxxxxx>; "'Cindy Collins'" <ccollins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 9:27 AM Subject: Re: [RC] re: lameness "...get to the point of staying balanced all the time and I just have a ways to go?..." The same way you get to Carnegie Hall with your violin: Practice, Practice, Practice! Seriously, this is one of those things that can not be taught in the ring. You have to get out on the trail and work on it. The horse also has a lot to learn to be balanced with the footing changing and strange maneuvers to get down the trail.
