Straightness exercises

[Cop-Pop]

Does anyone do/know any straightness exercises I can do when riding to straighten me out? I twist to the left and the horse has discovered she can exploit it

The only one I know is to put a whip behind my back but I need to be fairly flexible in case she has a 'moment'

I haven't a clue if this would work at all, but my first thought was maybe you could try riding bareback every now and then? If you're wonky then, you'd slide off, so you're forced to sit straight. Feel free to ignore me because I really don't know what I'm talking about.

Thanks

I do ride bareback occasionally but she's rather prone to sticking in the odd buck plus I have a really boney bum

which must feel uncomfortable for her

How about riding without stirrups? And look in a mirror often.

There are no mirrors

Will try no stirrups tho - didnt think of that!
