I think I use my voice too much - I just find myself talking to each horse I ride far too much. I also tip forwards too much!

dont mind me i think i was supposed to be blonde lol

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Oi!! Some of us who were born blonde aren't all that deficient in brain power you know!! Although I am incredibly odd at times . . . . .

Lucinda Fredericks used to be Lucinda Murray and changed her nationality too when she married Clayton

Where do I start

Probably my worst bit is my shoulders, I am fine if relaxed, as soon as tension creeps in, up creep my shoulders (I also do this when driving) and I have to consciously push them back down - hateful things, they have a life of their own.

Tension.
Tension,tension,tension.

If I relax and "do nothing" it all just works.
It's the relaxing that's frightfully difficult.

 

[JustKickOn]

I don't breathe enough when I ride. Even though I'm relaxed, I concentrate on what the horse is doing, and forget to breathe!!

Tipping forward when asking for a canter transition. I only tend to do it on Sugar though. She'll then throw her head up and it takes a couple of laps to get her under control. Most annoying

Toes going out when I'm jumping, especially in the timed bits. I'm working on it though

I also tend to tuck my chin into my neck a bit. I can see where I'm going, it just looks odd

 

[Cop-Pop]

I'm wonky at the moment - my hips and pelvis are out of alignment

I'm getting treatment for it but until then I'm resigned to walking in wonky lines

 

[rara007]

Looking down...hands too low...lower leg too far fowards. And thats just for starters!

 

[DreamerII]

Tipping forward sometimes when asking the horse to go up a gait.
Locking elbows in canter.
Throwing myself over the jump before the horse does!

 

[FinellaGlen]

I tip forward in canter. My right hand keeps raising itself in the air without consulting me. My feet stick out like a duck's. Is that enough faults to be going on with? Sad thing is, I probably have loads more

 

[bethyy]

seems like everything the ammount people on my yard moan at me

 

[niagaraduval]

My feet slip through the stirrups all the time.. i can only keep it one the ball of my foot at walk and slow trot

 

[c2b]

My brain and my body parts don't seem to be connected. My brain says one thing and various limbs do something else.!!
Strange.
Luckily I have a mare who has worked out what various expletives mean and sorts me out

 

[LeneHorse]

looking down, stiff arms, tipping forward in canter, useless at diagonals....my poor horsey!

 

[PapaFrita]

My biggest fault is I'm a big fat coward!

 

[Eaglestone]

Sitting to the right

... but feeling I am sitting up
