Posting Without Stirrups: Free Horseback Riding Lessons

Video Transcript

" Hi my name Sarah Stetner I'm an expert horse rider on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment I have just showed you a reminder on how to trot and you should be pretty advance on posting by now in this video. So now I'm going to show you this is a really good exercise for your legs. I'm going to go ahead and drop my stirrups so what I mean by that is take my feet out of my stirrups and continue posting. It does kill your legs but I mean it really does get your leg to where they are suppose to be and that way you would post in the height of your posting would be perfect as well. So I'm going to go ahead and drop my stirrups. Continue posting. You still want to keep all the weight in your legs when you do this. In classes they would ask you to do this. This would determine the first place rider from the second place rider and it does kill your legs as well. So this is posting without stirrups."
