Sitting behind the movement, is it correct? THM asked Carl Hester…
And the riders who sit behind the movement, particularly the ones with their shoulders back, they are never going to have self-carriage….
“No, because they are driving the horse down in front. If they sit too strong, behind the vertical, then they are pushing the horse down, through and into the hand. I was told by ‘Rocky’* when you go forward you bring your body forward and when you want to come back, you bring your body back. And it is amazing how most of us do the opposite to that. He always said to me, when you piaffe, you should be sitting over your knee, not sitting on your backside. Charlotte does that naturally, I have to remind myself to do it because I want to be too strong, but that is a really interesting little tip he gave me because piaffe, you get the feeling that you are driving, but in fact you should be sitting over your knee to let the horse use its back.”

When girthing up the horse it is important not to over tighten it. An over-tightened girth may pinch and bruise the muscles - in particular the pectorals. trapezius, serratus ventralis muscles and latissimus dorsi (see red areas in diagram bleow). An over tightened girth may also cause bruising of the ribs and the intercostal muscles between the ribs. It will also cause the saddle to put more pressure on the back muscles.
