I get that with Evie Flipo. I always end up riding with my leg forward, particularly in canter. I wouldn't worry about that too much, its the shape of them, If flipo is anything like Evie, she seems to do a huge lurch from behind in the transition, its the big arse and power house that does it. I think you need the leg forward, if mine was back I wouldn't stay in balance. Its totally different from a general riding horse.
I would just concentrate on relaxing and keeping balanced. The leg forward will be useful anyway in case he does 'take off' it will give you more anchorage to slow him down:smile:
Try also to keep your upper body straight, and your shoulders open, don't lean back or forward, just sit, and Flipo's bum will come up under you instead of possibly chucking you forward out of contact.
