RE: [RC] posting?? manes?? - Tracey LomaxAngie wrote: There are times, like when my horse is in a coma, when he gives me a very relaxed *slow* trot and I can follow this sort of advice. I can just post slightly "forward" and not all this UP & forward arc business. However, when Kaboot...and now my new, also 14.2 horse,Gunner hit their *power* trot, there is so much hang time that I've got to stay up longer. Before an endurance ride I have to shorten my stirrups a lot on Kaboot just to make my "up" arch long enough to come down when he does and not have to tip toe. Does that make sense? Perfectly. It's not easy. I think part of the reason I think "pockets out" when I ride a horse with a big trot is so that I don't get ahead of his movement. It keeps me focused on just relaxing. P.S. Though his previous owner declared it impossible to ride away from your property alone with him...he did his first solo ride with no panic attacks yesterday. :-)) Well done. You now have permission to go "neener neener neener". T =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
