Tip/Quote of the Day # 742
The rider who keeps their weight too far forward at the gallop will cause their horse to gallop on the forehand. When the rider's weight (center of gravity) is correctly above the center of the saddle at the gallop, the horse will be able to more easily gallop in balance, and with free shoulders. And it is of course more easy to elevate the horse's front end for an upcoming jump in this position as well.
