Sambuca and Catherine doing work today without stirrups. Making it more difficult by having the reins in one hand. This was working on Catherine’s position , especially the ability to have an independent seat, because without an independent seat, you can’t remain in perfect balance over the horse’s center of gravity in all the gaits without leaning, gripping with your legs, or hanging onto the bridle.
An independent seat is all about having equal distribution of your weight and balance. Until you have complete control of your own body, you can’t hope to influence the horse’s body too.
