Posted by Justine I've taught and rode lots of equitation the past years and learned the best thing for your leg placement is doing 2-point stance. Start at te walk then move to your balance @ the trot w/ it, and get you're bottom as close to the saddle as you can w/o sitting in it and if you don't feel the burn, you aren't doing it right. I agree w/ what Preston said, lunge line lessons galour. and LOADS of riding w/o your stirrups. Drop one stirrup @ a time first and get your balance working really well and then start trotting and posting w/o them. Those are the best things I know to do to get legs in shape. Hope that helped some. lol --Justine Janzen --Previous Message--
