Just wondered people?s thoughts on this please? Two lessons, contradicting theory?s. lesson 1 from an eventer. Advised I stand in my stirrups as much as possible out hacking etc as an alternative to stirrup less work. This is because I have limited hip mobility which makes sitting trot incredibly difficult. I did this religiously for a few weeks at first and felt it definitely helped with my stability and feeling secure. Then had a lesson with a Ride with your mind instructor. She told me absolutely never to stand in the saddle as all the rider weight is transferred to the stirrup bars and therefore distributed completely wrongly and would be very detrimental to the horses back. She said saddles are designed for rider weight to be over the panels evenly distributed. Makes sense but which do I listen to and go with?!! Thoughts?
