Can anyone help me with my waggly hands please?!
I know my hands move around too much in trot and canter. I went to try a potential horse today. He was only 6 and clearly too good for me (and very nicely schooled). He went really nicely for me and I was really enjoying the lightness in my hands and the steady head carriage (current pony has a tendency to swing head or lock jaw to avoid doing as asked!)
However, on looking back at the videos my flipping hands are still having a party of their own and I really didn’t think I was doing much with them (certainly less than I do normally!) My lower leg looks lovely and stable and I’m rising from the thigh, so is it a problem with my elbows and if so, how do I fix it?
