Horse Riding Question:?

Question

My friend has horses and when I'm over there, I've asked her to critique my horse-riding skills. She says it looks like I'm holding the reigns correctly, sitting on the horse correctly, and placing my legs correctly in the stirrups, etc.

However, I feel like I'm riding up the horse's neck when I canter him. I am I sitting in the saddle incorrectly or is this just lack of muscle?

Any tips?

BTW, this is for Western.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yea ,

Go get lessons from a real trainer !!!!!

you should not feel that you are sitting on his neck !!!

You should be in the saddle .."The" middle and going with his flow ?

Please.. this is t o hard to answer Since WE CAN NOT SEE You

Please post a pic of you first ..

then maybe some one here..... will tell you what is going on ???

Yes lack of muscle might have lots to do with it !

Plus her lack of knowledge and yours ...

Reins ,,, is the way we spell them
