For those of you starting out on your riding journeys I just wondered what element of it you are struggling with.
For me it is keeping my horse going in trot, I know RS horses are kind of insensitised to aids - just the nature of the beast with having all minds of beginners kicking, screeching, unbalanced in seat -.so I get it but it's so frustrating.
Also I am struggling with my seat in canter - bouncing too much. I do find that leg work without stirrups is good practice for this. Unfortunately my RS don't do work on the lunge as I've heard that would really help me in perfecting the seat/movement of the gait.
So what are you struggling with?
