RE: [RC] Angie - worthwhile discussion involving sitting trot - heidi

Absolutely spot-on. 
 
And if it takes you effort to post, then you DO need those dressage lessons (which is essentially what Truman got).  Furthermore, if it takes you effort to post, you are causing your horse to expend more effort as well.

Posting is more about proper technique than anything else. Posting is
more about a consistent rhythm with the horse than anything else. Many
years ago I went to a good trainer - ex Grand Prix eventer. She was
teaching both myself and my horse to jump. What I came away with was an
understanding of the proper balance of riding and a an effortless post.
I have a few years on me - have a bum knee and a bum ankle on the other
leg but can post for miles on end simply because it is the horse that is
doing the work on the post - not me.
