I remember all of my lessons as a teenager were getting me nowhere. I was told to keep my heels down and grip with my knees. No wonder sitting trot was a painful experience! I am now a rusty stirrup rider trying to get back into the saddle. These tutorials are super! I plan on learning lots and losing my fear. Thank you!

Hi there yeah I'm 58 years young lol And just getting back into my self but unfortunately with a disability but horses just make me feel free.. Do you know where she's from?

He's a medium level Dressage horse big boy 16.3hh and will try find someone to help me retrain him.....

Omg me too literally heels to the floor grip my thighs no wonder I come out of the saddle, a fish out of water. The peg thing blew my mind. Also me and 30 seconds and I’m taking lessons again watching these are so helpful.

Absolutely amazing. Sitting trot is my nemesis and something that I have always struggled to achieve. I feel like I am bouncing all over my horses back and never making any progress and nobody has ever been able to give me a clear and concise reason why. Now it all makes sense. Thank you Alicia, you are my hero!!! After watching this video twice it makes so much sense and by understanding the mechanics of why we bounce ie: gripping knees and allowing myself to "abort mission" when needed is okay. 🤗😄💖

I'm working on my canter right now, but I've come back to this video because sometimes I need a reminder that three GOOD STEPS is better than three hundred bad ones. I used to ride somewhere that the instructor was always making me feel like I was too cowardly, not fit enough, not keeping up with everyone else and that wasn't acceptable. It was like I was auditioning for a place in the program (despite me having paid for it with perfectly good money X'D). I'm somewhere much better now where my instructor agrees with me, and it's really allowed me to move forward with my riding. There's no shame in aborting a mission that isn't going well!

Thank You Alicia. I have had 10 years off of riding and so glad to return with your help. I listen to your videos on my way to work and I find its really helpful. The descriptive details you include allow me to visualize what is happening even though my eyes are on the road. I appreciate the forethought you put into the strategies used in the videos. Im 4 lessons back in and the repetition of listening or watching you videos (when not driving, of course) has offered me a quicker return to some moments of feeling reacquainted with the saddle. Im a professor of art and the descriptive visualizations are really working for my learning style. Thank you thank you thank you!

Alicia, you should do a video on how to make sure your saddle fits you as a rider. That’s one of the temaining reasons why people can’t sit trot. If your leg isn’t under you and your feet on the ground, there is no choice but to grip

Wow~~ everything is so good and logical. I think the most difficult thing is fear, people always have a lot of criticism and ridicule until you really give up. Like me, people always told me , Sam, if you want to get better grades in dressage, you need to change horses or buy a schooling horse or a grand prix horse, but I never did it and I never give up my horse. I have trained my horse at 5:00 or 6:00 in the early morning for four years and find a good coach. No body disturb us, my family just do our business in riding. Maybe, people should learn to ignore people's crazy criticism and ridicule, we will get more confidence more success.

I have been riding for 14 years. The last horse I rode had a bouncy trot but I was super relaxed on him and was so used to his rhythm. He sadly passed away so I now ride a mare that is the complete opposite of him. She is smaller, has a faster pace, bounces like crazy to me and it is hard to control the speed on her. On her, I bounce a lot but now through your video I understand why. I am always a bit nervous on her bc I lose control over the speed. She is very sensitive on the leg commands as well, she grabs onto the reins and just GOOOOOOEEEESSSS. I am not gripping onto her with my bottom legs, but I am gripping with my knees. Which is wrong. Thank you for explaining it all

I loved the explanation of the sturrup length...I don't have a coach and it's hard to know some of what might be the simplest thing! Thanks again for an awesome video.

such clear easy to follow explainaitions great for me as a more experienced rider to understand how to communicate with my spooky WB but equally great for my 12yr old daughter who's 8months into riding and wanted to understand how to sit trot. thank you from us both.

I love watching you ride, Alicia. Wessel is so engaged, his hind end visibly drops even at the walk. Your tips for sitting the trot (my nemesis) make perfect sense and are extremely helpful. Yes, I've had my stirrups too long for the past 25 years - how could that have missed several instructors' eyes? THANK YOU! 😄

I want your outfit!!! So cute!! Thank you for the video! The pelvic stretch to the head really helped me with understanding correct posture, no sexy back bend 😊

Hello from Australia. Having a ‘plan for success’ is awesome. And stirrup length so simple but so important. Mine were actually too short and not allowing me to sit deep in the saddle. Completely different now in the trot. Thank you!!

Another excellent video that will help a lot. You nailed it. It is so embarrassing when you think you're sitting trot is ugly...even when no one is around to see it! Can't wait to try. Thank you!
