The Posting Trot
with Cheryl West
Posting seems like a simple idea, rising with the trot stride to soften the horse’s movement. But learning how to improve and perfect the post actually benefits not only the rider, but the horse. Exercises demonstrated in this session help improve rider position and fluidity, to understand how to allow the horse to “help you work”, and learning the overall importance of posting.
Running time: 46 minutes
