Tip/Quote of the Day # 2723
"Sit in your saddle, go with the rhythm, into your horse. If you lean forward, lift up out of the saddle, then the hind legs are not under control and the horse can come on the forehand, his hind leg starts to come up not under. That’s why sometimes it is a good idea to put away the stirrups and say ‘oh do I really sit?’ Sit back, look to your point, keep your hands totally quiet and try to guide him." ~ Ingrid Klimke
