Great tips as ever Amelia -I especially like your reminder to first check rider position „heavier seat, lighter hands“. It feels magical when I get this right with my horse. 😊
Very useful. That is my problem. I should try and try. My mare is very strong and it is impossible to fight with her but when I get the right balance and lighten hands, as you said it is a beautiful feeling.
Thanks for the great video as usual! When pushing the horse off the inside leg, is it a continuous action or is it intermittent? And do you use your lower leg or more your upper-leg (thigh)?
Hi Amelia, I get confused with being heavy in the seat, I often hear more weight in your heels and less weight on the horses back, 20% seat, 80% heels? I’m trying hard to define this feel? Thank you
You should have more weight in your seat than your feet. Think if someone had their hand in your stirrup and your foot was on top of the hand, you do not want to be crushing the person's fingers.
My horse likes to wash out through his left shoulder cantering right - I feel like when I push from the inside leg it can make it worse. In that case - do I need more outside leg?
My problem is they're light in hands but I'm told they are evading the bit and NOT using hind end either so my struggle is just opposite of the strong puller. I know these same tips work for this same problem but I'm struggling with learning the right feel now that I rode so long thinking the lightness was good 🫤

That is a great explanation that what you feel in the hand is a reflection of the hind end
Thank you 💕
Thanks
