Looking for articles / videos / recommendations for sources of info on literally how to sit on a horse. I've come to the conclusion that after about 20 years of riding I basically have no idea what I'm doing! I really struggle to sit still and my legs and arms appear to have a life of their own. I also find im not quite losing my stirrups but they are very loose on my feet and move around / nearly lose them. And I think I grip with my knees.... ??
I think some of this is due to having quite long legs and not the tallest horse, plus my horse is quite slow ? so I've got into some bad habits. But after some boot camp she is much more forwards and I need to really sort myself out to keep up!!
I want to understand more about how im supposed to be sat, for example, i watch people ride and their knees seem to point forwards and their toes in....my knees don't seem to point that way..?
? and i understand its all about the core and muscles around my seat etc and I need to do about 300 years of pilates but I really could do with understanding what I'm trying to achieve if that makes sense?
So any recommendations for stuff I can read that might make me understand how it all works. Thank you ?
