 Developing the Young Horse
"Rider Position, Part 1"
by Lynn Palm, Palm Partnership Training
Are you ready for the challenge of using dressage principles to become a thinking, feeling rider? This task requires that we go back to the basics, whether you are an experienced rider or a novice. Many of the issues riders have with either themselves or their horses trace back to a problem or inadequacy with the basics, so it makes sense that this is where we should start.
Before we mount up, we need to discuss the importance of the rider's position, what I refer to as "respecting the rider's form." It is important for the rider to learn proper form and balance, and the proper function of form, which relates to how the rider positions her body to follow the horse's movement at all times without interfering with the horse.
