When riding, ride in two point and make sure your heel is lined up with your hip. Keep your weight in your heel and when in two point just do a little one. Bring your but out of the saddle (a couple inches between you and the saddle) and lean forward just a tad, you don't want to lay on your horses neck and you don't want to be standing straight up, remember to flex your stomach muscles this will also help.

How do you know if you are on the right diagonal in trot?

From April Reeves, Horseman's U.com: Diagonals were created to enhance and improve the movement of the horse as you post. Diagonals allow the outside front leg (in a bend) to extend farther (it has more distance to travel) AND to allow weight OFF the inside leg during the rise of that leg, since it carries the majority of the weight when circling or bending. “Rise and fall with the front leg on the wall” is often used to describe ‘when’ to rise the post, but when no wall is present, you rise with the outside front leg to the bend you are riding. If you are riding a straight line, you can ride either diagonal, especially on the trail. To keep you and your horse from tiring quickly or getting sore, change your diagonal often.


How do you get your horse to drop its head?

While riding, use your seat to push your horse in to the bit. When you are walking, watch (or feel) for the horse's leg stride. When your horse's left leg goes forward, sqeeze your left hand. Same to your right. As soon as your horse feels softer in your hands after doing this, do a 'left hand-left leg- right hand' movement while going to the left. Do the same to the right.
