Hello everyone,
At my lesson today we did a few tiny jumps (or in my case a little trot over some very very low crossed poles!) but for the first time my RI was trying to teach me how to do a light seat. She said I did OK as it was my first time but I didn't feel comfortable at all and thought I was rubbish, but then I am always very hard on myself. My own worst critic as it were. Anyway my OH said that my feet were nearly up over my horses bottom which would explain why I felt I was going to topple forward.
What is the key to obtaining a comfortable light seat when doing a little jump?
Thank you!
