Balance in Movement – The Seat of the Rider

The art of successful riding is the development of harmony to such a degree that, to the onlooker, horse and rider perform in total unity.

The rider's key to this ideal is not a static seat but one that is capable of making finely tuned movements with which to both communicate and remain in perfect balance with the horse.

This video shows how to develop thus unity, why and where problems and faults occur, and which methods best address them. Riders of all disciplines and levels will find practical ideas to help remedy problems and correct their seat.

Topics include:

Rhythm, balance, suppleness, individual strong and weak points

How to supple the hip joint
