Riding With Your Body by Richard Winters

Richard Winters always seems to have an analogy to make his point clear. In "Riding With Your Body" he describes the difference between a packhorse, whose only goal is to reach camp and ignore how the weight on his back shifts, and a saddle horse, who understands the meaning of how a rider uses their weight to communicate. You'll watch and listen to Richard as he explains how to develop your horse's understanding of body position. Richard also explains the value of using body position and having reins and leg pressure as a back up means of communicating with your horse.

Don't make your horse think it is a pack horse with a sack of potatoes up there shifting and squirreling around. Well Richard, how many people know their own body well enough to realize what they are doing up there matters to the horse. I have to apologize to the horse every time I get on one because of this. I am guilty of dulling them up I am afraid. Still learning so much.

Nite Fox my father used to say, “ you ride like a sack of potatoes”...he had spent his teen years in the 7th Cavalry, prior to WW2

That's why we learn how to ride though. As we practise we become more aware of our bodies, more precise and subtle with our aids, more balanced etc.
But we have to start somewhere.
