A Riding Habit: Dissecting the Seat – Part 3: The Advanced Independent Seat
http://aridinghabit.blogspot.com/2014/06/dissecting-seat-part-3-advanced.html
Sunday, June 22, 2014. Dissecting the Seat – Part 3: The Advanced Independent Seat. I found this article thanks to Austen from Guinness on Tap. It showed what I have been working on when riding Copper. I have been working on being mindful of my balance, engaging my core, lowering my center of gravity and rolling my shoulders back and down to correct my postural tilt. What I’ve been feeling!

http://aridinghabit.blogspot.com/2012/08/figuring-it-out-canter-transitions.html
Thursday, August 23, 2012. Figuring it out - Canter Transitions. Things have been a bit slow at the moment; but I have been busy at the riding school, teaching the Tiny Tots class and in return… Riding lessons! It’s so nice to ride a horse that isn’t going to fuss, or freak out unexpectedly - I am really enjoying it as a wee bit of a break from my never-quite-know-what-you-are-going-to-get Joey lad! Also, I get to practise cantering! Huh Guess we’re back at the walk and trot…. *sadface* N...And as a resu...

A Riding Habit: April 2015
http://aridinghabit.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. Third Ride Postpartum – Turning Circles! I love the listening ear! I’ll keep it brief because, let’s face it - walk work is booorriiinggg to anyone but the avid dressage enthusiast…. But that’s where we are at. So the latest ride consisted of – and I’m sure you’ve guessed it - perfecting our 20m circle. Copper has struggled with the 20m circle for a while; keeping consistent bend through out the circle and not losing it by popping out his ribs or shoulders 3/4 of the way around.

I will be starting a series on dissecting a rider’s seat as I am trying to reconstruct my own seat using the practice of classical dressage.
