A snippet from the chapter 'The Seat'

Let's start with the basics in the walk. This is best done on the horse, so read these words and then try it out on your horse. I want you to notice what is happening to your seat bones in the walk - are they both moving backwards and forwards at the same time or do you find one seat bone goes forward and then the other? The seat bones should be moving separately due to the muscles along the horse's back contracting one side then the other. Many people report that they are moving both seat bones forward and back at the same time, and this usually comes from shoving with the seat.

You can feel this yourself on your own body. Place your hands either side of your spine and then start walking. You will notice that one long back muscle will contract and then the other - this is the same way that the horse's back works and this is why your seat bones will be carried forward one at a time. You will notice this effect more profoundly if you are walking down hill on your horse. If you still find it hard to separate the seat bones then notice what is happening to your knees… can you see or feel them moving separately. Once you get that you can try to get a sense of the seat bones doing the same.

Before thinking about the rest of this section about walk, where we discuss how to control the tempo, how much movement should be in the seat bones and how to know which hind leg is coming underneath you based on the seat bone movement, I suggest you try the above exercise on your horse so you can get the feeling of separate seat bones.

About the Author

Peter Dove has been riding, teaching and learning dressage for over 25 years. In the 15 years he has been at East Soley EC2000 he has judged and taught combined, some 9000 riders competing at intro to elementary level and beyond. Over the 15 years he has developed systematics ways of explaining how to improve results competing at dressage. Peter is taught by Mary Wanless BHSI and considers her teachings of rider biomechanics to be one of the main keys to success at all levels of riding and is forever in her debt for all she has taught. Grab yourself a copy of Master Dressage now, and get higher marks, ride more beautiful tests and have a better relationship with your horse. Mary Wanless is an internationally renowned coach, and is the author of the 'Ride With Your Mind' books, which have been translated into many languages. She has also authored 8 DVDs. She coaches riders at all levels, from relative novices to two of the top twelve US dressage riders, and some of the Canadian eventing squad. She has B.Sc. degrees in both Physics and Applied Sports Coaching, and holds the BHSI certificate. Her coaching career in the USA began in 1991 with an invitation to speak at the California Dressage Society annual meeting. She has also spoken at the US Dressage Federation's Annual Convention. She considers that public speaking is her only talent. Whilst she is unusally good at coaching, riding and writing, these are all learnt skills. She has known Kyra Kyrklund and her husband Richard White for many years, and taught Richard before he left the UK to became Kyra's partner. Over the years, Richard and Mary have frequently collaborated over the biomechanics of riding. Now, however, Richard teaches Mary! He also coached the riders who were 4th, 5th, 7th and 10th in the Hong Kong Olympics - which just shows what coaching based on rider biomechanics can achieve! Mary has coached US dressage star Heather Blitz for over 17 years. Mary and Heather now have a recriprocal coaching relationship, and Heather has brought to the RWYM approach her own unique ways of solving training issues by 'getting through to' horses of all types and dispositions. She is a genius at it, and Mary considers her our best living example of correct rider biomechanics!
