RE: [RC] Angie - worthwhile discussion involving sitting trot - Jody Rogers-Buttram

That is exactly what I was talking about.  Bounce and kill that poor horses's kidneys.  Truman is correct in that it takes a supple back to properly sit the trot, sit deep and use the back.  And it does require a LOT more work on the rider.

Yes, it sure does...that is if done correctly. I think some are talking about those new riders that just sit there and bounce.

Which brings up another point relative to aches and pains--it takes FAR more physical strength and fitness to SIT the trot than it does to post.

I think you will find, that most people doing this sport aren't as healthy as you may think they are.  Many go out and ride, while suffering from multiple aches and pains....Angie included.  There is nothing wrong with the dressage work in endurance, we all could benefit from it, but what I think that Angie is referrring to was the fact that some newbies may read this and *think* that they could sit the trot, without the training and not do damage to the horse during a long ride.  If a person is so physically unable to stand or post for long periods, most move on to a gaited breed in order to keep riding.  There is nothing wrong with that. 
Long distances and sitting trots just won't get it in endurance...IMHO.
