So I have a lovely 4yo who has been professionally backed for me last month and although I'm biased his turning out to be rather special. However I can't ride him correctly.
So when in trot I drop my hands so much so they touch my legs and block the contact - the poor lad gets so confused he throws his head up. I know I do it and I know I need to work through my elbow and hold my arms and hands and stay elastic. But I'm really struggling - I think it's lazy ness and I've not ridden for years (had a baby) so I'm not very balanced and lack core muscles.
Any exercise that you can recommend to help this awful habit. I'm so angry at myself and I'm aware it's a rider error and I need to just keep thinking were my hands are.
