Loosen Up to Sit Up
by
Sitting on the horse, we want our torso to be upright and our shoulders square, as I used to say to the kids I taught in Pony Club, “like a box of cereal”. In this way, our parts are stacked in the most efficient way for us to be in balance, to go with the movement of the horse, and to influence the horse with our seat and weight.
Unfortunately, today’s lifestyle works against us being able to effortlessly achieve this nice upright square-shoulders posture.
