I
think the reason we end up cantering on our seat pockets bareback is because it
is easier for us to follow the motion in that position, not because we are more
balanced or the horse feels better with our weight back.
I’ve
always wanted to ride in a position that if my horse disappeared that I would
land on my feet. I feel more like a participant than a passenger in this
position. And I have quite literally had a horse disappear out from under
me and I did land on my feet (until she pulled me forward because I was still
holding the reins!)
