Teri's big challenge right now is obtaining her seat. She tends to slide back in the saddle at a trot. She bounces a good bit at the trot. She's a very quick learner and understands what the objective is. The objective is to be able to "sit" a trot and not bounce in the saddle. She will eventually be able to move with the horse and appear glued to the saddle. The best way to achieve this goal is to log many miles in the saddle, without stirrups, and trotting. Trot, trot, trot, and when you are done with that, go trot. Push yourself, no pain, no gain! It's ok to do some slow jogging but to really get the job done you need to do "working" trots. Keep trying to pull yourself forward until you just one day stick in the correct position. It will happen I promise.



You look a little far back in the saddle in this picture. You are looking up though, which is good.



You look really good in this picture. You look very "correct". You are not too far back, you are sitting up straight, and you are looking up.



You are looking down. When we look down we tend to slouch, everybody does it. You are a little far back in this pic.



You look like you are sitting down a little more in this pic, but you are still a little too far back.
