First off you want to keep an even speed at all times so keep your leg on but keep your horse in hand.
Don't get tensed up. Just find your center of balance and then relax and go with the horses motion. Stay on the soft part of your seat and keep the horse at the pace YOU choose.
Do some excercises on a longeline to help improve your balance.
Strengthen your legs at home by standing on the egde of a stair with your toes or take your saddle home, find a place to place it securely and off the ground and go into half seat for extended pariods of time.
