Can anyone give me some instructions on the correct technique for posting?
When I post I try to distribute the weight thru my legs and to try to keep all of
my weight off the stirrups.
I understand that if your wieght is constantly placed on the two stirup points
than you must be defeating the purpose of the weight distributing properties of
the entire saddle.
When I'm posting I allso try to switch laterals frequently by bouncing to change
leads, I'm not sure if I have the correct terminology here.
I also feel that I hit the saddle too hard during the posting no matter how
relaxed I try to be.

Any pointers or tips will be greatly appreciated.
