Ellen,
Please spend some time perusing my web site at www.geocities.com/sndyhrsjdg, particularly to the link dealing with riding position, http://geocities.com/sndyhrsjdg/position.html.
The upper body is ideally, slightly, almost inperceptibly, in front of the vertical at the walk, sitting trot and the canter and about 20% more forward at the rising trot and hand gallop. At the hand gallop, this rider will elevate his weight out of the saddle into a 2 point position, where contact is made with his/her two legs and no longer in the seat(3 point).
