trainer put you on the lunge line at first so you don't have to worry
about your horse and can concentrate on your position. Start off by
posting the trot and get your horse into a nice easy trot. Try
lengthening your stirrups a hole or two to help relax your legs. When
you start to sit, think of reverse posting. Drive your seat down into
the horse on every beat instead of rising up. This will help you get
the feel for the rhythm.
Make sure to remember to relax your back, seat, legs, shoulder and
arms. Sit back a little farther and lean your shoulder back and open
them up. This position will help you to stay balanced at the sitting
trot. Try to really feel your horses stride and push down and forward
into the saddle with every one. Once you get the movement down you
won't have to drive so much. Make sure you're not pinching with your
knees or turned your toe out.
