Love sitting trot, do you?

[debsey1]

As the title says. I sit really deep into the saddle and find it comfortable, prefer it to rising trot sometimes. Also, find it an easy transition from sitting trot to canter. I ride a big boned 15.3hh cob just like a big armchair, maybe this is why I find it so comfortable maybe different if he was a bony TB

I agree, my girl is a IDXTB and she floats when she trots and you could just sit to it all day, big old armchair which is great in all paces really

Yup, much prefer sitting to rising, always have. Current boy has the most comfortable sitting trot ever, even when he's really motoring. Whether it's how I ride or just him, he works better for me in sitting trot too

No it does my back in!

Ha ha ha ha ha! NO! I ride a jackhammer.

My mare is very comfy, so I sit to her a lot - she seems to prefer it too, and goes better. My husband's gelding is another matter - he is also a jackhammer (like that term!) and its a nightmare sitting to him.

I love it on my sister's pony and some of the ponies/horses I ride..but my 16.2 big-strided TB is another matter and I despise sitting trot on him!

Malaga's trot is smooth enough to drink a cup of tea while doing it and not spill a drop

First learnt to love it on a TBx. Now riding a TBx it is pretty difficult on (SJer so not used to trotting at all)... determined to get there though!

ETS: does depend on the horse/rider combo a lot... have ridden and loved some who sitting trot just wasn't good with (either due to our compatibility or their sensitive backs or both)

No because my horse doesn't do a shuffly cob trot ;-)
