Sometimes, it depends on the type of horse you're riding! Horses have different trots as well as different movements. I've noticed it's easier to sit some trots on some horses than others

When I started trying to ride my new horse I tried sitting trot but it helped me post in a way 😂 because I found his rhythm

My mouth has been open this whole video cus not only did you NAIL the concept; you NAILED every mistake I was making 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 pray for me! I’m heading back to the stables tomorrow !

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="370">6:10</a> her horse nodded with what she was saying, like he was agreeing, haha!

This helps so much! I will be applying all this stuff to my weekly lessons, and I’m exited to try it!

Beginner learner here (have been trail riding my whole life but now doing formal lessons) but I love learning the rhythm of the horse while walking. It makes it much easier to get to trot. It was tough to do trot when they’d put me on a different horse that I hadn’t bonded with and/or learned their rhythm.

Love this horse and his mane! Nice lesson thanks.

Tucker looks so absolutely adorable with this length mane!!! For sitting the trot I find it helpful to imagine my hip going in an arch or a half circle in front of me, as in left down - forward up - right down - forward up - left down and so on.

Thank you so much, it was so helpful! I've been trying to sit trot for years and I feel like I have gotten no where with it! I'm definitely going to try out these tips! Thanks!

This is exactly what I needed thanks. I have been having a hard time doing sitting trot beside this one little pony.

This is a great way to learn to sit the trot! Awesome video! Would love to see a renovation of the farm video too!

I’ve been riding for 15 years, used to be glued to the saddle all my youth. Ever since my mare got injured 1,5 year ago and I didn’t ride for 9 months (and then fractured my spine and couldn’t ride for another 3 months), I have struggles sit-trotting. Bareback is amazing, my seat is flawless, but in the saddle… I go everywhere. No clue what I do wrong. I’m going to try your tips and see if my seat improves!

I am still a beginner, but sitting trot for me is much more natural and easier than canter 😂 my trainer was also in shock, that first time I tried it I was pretty good at it. 😊 I am so proud to myself about it. Canter is a different story, but getring there 😂

I have been working on my sitting trot for years with many teachers and I could not really figure out what I did not do correctly. And this video just totally unlocks that! I tried it once after watching and it just worked! I stopped bouncing and now it just looks still and effortless (but actually my ab still hurts 😂). Now I just have to keep practicing until I can do it long enough for a whole dressage test! One thing though is that, I have somewhat busy legs if I don’t pinch with my knees, so I was wondering if maybe I need to grip more with my inner thighs?

Hi!😄😄 loved this video. Really helped. Thanks. Love you❤

I've been riding for 11 years and this video is very helpful. Sometimes when I pinch with my knees, stirrupless riding forces you to open them up and rely more on your core.

I'm probably going to start learning how to ride this fall this video will definitely help when I get to that point thnx 😁🤗

I love ur vids!Especially the funny ones 😂

Thanks so much for the explanation 😊

Just what i was looking for , Loved it

I learn so much from you. Thank you!💛

love your channel you're such a good teacher

Love it! This is just when I needed this video

Wow this was great!! Thank you!!😃

Tysm! I already knew some of this but you explained it SO well!🤩🤩

another great video!

Thank you!!! I needed practice this was awesome tips !!!

Thank you so much for these tips, I am going to try them tomorrow in my lesson!

I want you as my trainer. How great teacher you are! I finally can try this without any fear 😁

thank you I needed that!!!!!!!!

Thanks!This was very helpful.

This is so helpful, thank you!! I recently restarted riding lessons after over a decade, and felt like I was being jostled around when my trainer and I reviewed the sit trot. Definitely going to check out more of your instructional videos as I progress!

Very informative. Gonna try this today!

Nice work. I am just learning and this is exactly what I am working on. Pinching with the knees is something I was doing.

omg this is all i've been focusing on, how did you know?!!!?!?! i love you sm!!!! watching this rn!!

Thanks! This is very helpful.

Brilliant simply brilliant. Older new rider first horse and I struggle with this so much I just bounce. This is a big part of my training routine now BEST Video EVA Eva thx u

Omg I’m so early and thanks for this I was struggling with this haha

Thank you this was very helpful ❤

Thank you. Great tips .

Thank you for this, I didn’t even know that theres different ways to trout, it was so hard for me last year at my camp cause I thought the only way to trout was sitting, hopefully this year I’ll do better as I’m going to be a wit (wrangler in training) so I’m going to muck the stalls and groom the horses, but I also get to ride! Hopefully this helps!!!

Thanks for the great tips!!

And tucker looks particularly handsome today!

Tucker is so gorgeous. I love his forelock!

Great tips (and cute breeches)!

tucker giving the camera the side eye like:

If I could, I'd give two likes :) Very interesting tips. I must try out. Thank you! ;)

Could you also make a video over how to get a horse on the bit?

Can you make a full video of the two point? It will help me a bunch!

I just randomly found the video while watching another one of yours, and then I noticed that it was uploaded two minutes ago..😅 Also I'm kind of uncertain if I'm sitting the trot correctly, because my instructor says that I'm doing good, but she doesn't know how to do a one rein stop, she's expecting me as a noob in the canter to ride in a full seat and she says that I'm always supposed to grip with my knees.😐

I actually find sitting trot way easier than riding trot or twopoint. I don’t know why but I do lol

This help's so Mach I tried doing a sitting trot on my stallion and it kind of work but i was bounsing more and I am taking riding lessons but i just started so Ya but I know how to ride I'm very good but I don't know how to do a sitting trot this help's a lot thx so Mach

I noticed each horse has its own rhythm and different trot. Some horses seem smooth and easy to sit, others not so…smaller horses make gentle ripples, larger horses it’s like ocean waves! At first I was taught to move my hips in a zig-zag manner with the horses movement but that worked that for that particular teaching horse…I don’t have my own yet so I ride various horses and when I do the zig-zag it still feel bumpy ( and I worry the bumping would hurt the horse)…where does your seat reside when u sit? I notice it’s smoother towards the back but apparently that may put too much pressure on the horse?

Such a handsome boy!

I heard that the trot on icelandic poneys is very easy 😊

Can you do a canter without the stirrups cause I’m learning that

Im currently struggling with the sitting trot ^^; in my beginner group lessons

Hi

Loved this! I am learning mounted archery currently but still at the beginner stage, do you have any tips or tricks that may help me?

Do you think Tucker was like -is this a new version of the lunge?, I’m sure I will find this to work ❤ so is it like a sitting post basically?

My horse is perfect for a sitting trot, he's very slow in the start which is when I practice the sitting trot

The way i was tought the movment in the hips i was told to never swing my hip from side to side. It will push the horse of balance. Rather then swing from side to side, push forward instead. That way the horse wil have an easier way to keep yourself and your horse in balance

Idk how to do what your saying at .54 seconds I do more western then English and don't remember how to post and never learned 2 point as never did jumping so only did pleasure classes.

When do you know that you can start cantering? ( I'm asking because I've been on a post trot 12 times and I'm wondering if I should ask my riding teacher to start cantering lessons too )

What is the height of ur horse..?

I find it easier to sit from walk to trot, instead of trying to sit after posting for a while.

My mare was so smooth in the trot it came naturally🤣 she is 3/4 arab 1/4 saddlebred

How long should it take to learn to canter? I’ve been with a coach for 7 months and all I can do is measure stirrups, walk, trot (not good due to different advice every time), and to dismount. Can someone please advise?

Hello can someone answer me A lot of people tell me that during my period it's dangerous to carry heavy things and the saddle is heavy, Can I saddle a horse during my period? 😅

I've Been riding for 4 years and I've never even breifly sat the trot without making the horse uncomfy from me bouncing so much and slaming down on the back to the point I just gave up beacuse the horse I ride is quite young he hates people bouncing around on his back

Whenever I'm taking a lesson 😅 I keep bouncing up and down so I just hold on to the saddle as hard as I can 😂

i normal sit trot

Nothing has ever helped me visualize sitting trot until now. I've always been told just to sit and essentially stay in the saddle but that's totally wrong! You can't just sit still in the trot it's not a still or level movement. The horse rises and falls in a bouncing motion, the saddle to so you also should be. Think: Pushing the saddle further up the horse's wither or actually jumping with the horse.

I did this yesterday and I’m pretty sure I bruised my butt 😭

When you taught yourself how to sit trot 😂

❤your husband/ boyfriend is in heaven

its basically twerking on ur horse.

This is awesome! 🫶🏻
