 Developing the Young Horse
"Rider Position, Part 2"
by Lynn Palm, Palm Partnership Training
Our goal is to become riders who help and refine our horse's balance but who do not interfere with it. The only way we can do this is by being balanced on the horse's back at all times. This means maintaining the proper rider form that will allow us to absorb the shock created by the horse's movement so that we can follow his forward momentum easily while staying balanced.
We are going to start with a simple and fun exercise that you can do with your horse to evaluate your form and to help improve it. You will need a consistent, well-schooled horse that is tacked up with saddle, bridle, and leg protection, and you will need three to four ground poles. Practice this exercise in a large, enclosed area such as a paddock, corral, or arena.
