Well, maybe I should pay closer attention to the words I choose...sit the jog. :)
The horse I have now does not know how to do a nice smooth jog, he is very green on the trail, but has a very nice extended gait, so I usually post or stand, however, I have ridden quite a few that are built to move at a nice smooth sweeping jog that you could sit all day. It depends on the horse and the training.
I have never heard of anyone sitting to the trot on the trail, but maybe I've missed something somewhere. I post, my husband stands in the stirrups. It's a matter of taste and comfort, I suspect. I think anyone who tries to sit a trot on the trail for very long will become very sore, and the horse's back may also.
