I've been having a bit of trouble keeping my weight central when asking for a turn on a forehand which either seems to make the horse move forward or do a random shuffle to the side (sorry don't know how to explain what happens). I always check the forward movement but because of my imbalance it doesn't seem to work.

It's strange because I don't feel unbalanced.

I also find it hard to keep my leg relaxed and instead of moving it back I seem to tighten the top of the knee and calf. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve this?

I was riding a horse the takes over a bit last night and it just highlighted what I do wrong...quite depressing!
