To make your horse trot, start with a sitting trot, which requires squeezing legs together to encourage the horse to move forward. Learn to trot your horse with tips from an equestrian team coach in this free video on horseback riding.

In increasing overall balance, a good method is riding bareback or without your stirrups. Or, do a lot of work in a half-seat. It’ll help your balance, but also help you sink into your heel. Once you’ve got a pretty solid base in your halfseat, try walk-trot-walk transitions while you’re in it. If you fall back, you still need work. But, my favourite, when you’re doing a posting trot, stay up for an extra beat, sit, up for two beats, sit, etc.
Good job!
Finally someone who actually knows what they’re doing!
I love your horse! It’s beautiful!
In my opinion you lean forward too much sometimes and also your arms are pretty straight most of the time:) I do the same haha; good job though!
Notice she sat back in her seat at 1.24 + said whoa – but kept walkin. If you’re new with a horse – you must work on your commands and leads – whoa does not = walk, it means stop. I encourage people to make a full stop on a whoa, cuz if you wanna slow to a walk, you say walk n pull back – thats different. Big difference if you’re new with a horse or a new horse – otherwise you’re horse will keep goin! Regardless – great vid – definitely recommend it. Thanks!
kellie5029 try saying to yourself “oompa loompa” over and over again and you soon get into the rhythm and posting is then soooo much easier!
i love horses so much that my dad he bought me my own american quarter horse. she is 7 and her name is sophie and he is my baby girl and im never going to let her go. I LOVE HORSES!!!!!!! and my baby girl
it depends on the horse, alot of times woah means go down one transition. which while your walking means stop.
