Saddle Seat Wednesday
The situation is not as dire as I thought. Big surprise. It’s not that I don’t know how to ride the front end of a horse [Getting a Grip, or Not]. It’s that I forget.
I finally had a saddle seat lesson, after several weeks of schedule mis-match. When I kept my concentration, I found that I could feel – and fix! – when the horse dropped out of gear. I think I have been letting this happen way too often, which is a) bad riding and b) upsets the ASBs because they are not used to it. As a side benefit, thinking about keeping the horse in the correct position kept me in the correct position.
I was riding Sam, so it was a soft test. Still, it was nice to see that I could accomplish what I had been pondering.

Yay!
Are you now officially just a saddle seat rider?
Thank you.

Solely a saddle seat rider?
In my heart, never.
In reality … I don’t want to talk about it.
