in between your pinkie and reins.

`When in riding position, your hands should be at the " 10-2 Position" Right thumb at the angle of 10 on a clock, and left hand at the angle of 2 ( think of it like their pointing to the numbers but your hands are held at a tight fist). MANY people say thumb straight up, hand straight, but by Olympic, Spruce Meadows, and many other high-end trainers, they have taught the "10-2". The only time your hand should be straight, thumbs up, should be in your two-point position. ( But I'm not here to be your coach, whichever you like best :P ) When holding a crop with the 10-2 position your hand position should not change (unless in use). The crop is usually held over the thigh. :) ` Have fun!
