'Light seat' for jumping.......

[Parkranger]

I'm currently learning the miracle of the light seat....I was NEVER taught about this when I was younger and have always been caught to sit back, hands up and kick on!

For a horse like Oscar it will hopefully help no end as he has a tendancy to go 'flat' or hollow, so getting off his back slightly should help.

So am I the only 'returningtoridingafteralongbreak' person who has only just found out about this?

I guess I use a light seat for hacking anyway, but didn't ever think of it for jumping.

Feel a complete novice!!!

yes i have been told to do this with my mare but i find it really difficult as she goes with her blxxdy head in the air and really pushes you into the saddle i know the feeling far to well
