[RC] Back to the Basics: Proper posting technique - Mike Lewis
One of the things that came out of the APEX clinic
last week during my equitation evaluation was that I'm doing the typical male
style of posting (up and down, not front-to-back.)
Big surprise there... not. After several
years on a bouncy old gelding with a swayed back, I got into the habit of not
paying attention to proper form.
What advice can folks provide to help develop the
front-to-back posting technique? I find it difficult to maintain once I
start to get tired or when my mare really opens up her trot. If she is
decelerating or going downhill, all bets for even attempting a better posting
technique must be abandoned...
