  • lol

    

  • i like posting, but only on horses that i have a little more difficulty sitting. Nothing beats sitting a very nice trot, though it can definitely be unpleasant. neither is better than the other, though.

  • @Chloe5558 you need to think about what she's teaching the horse. If you look, she's teaching to the horse to keep his face bended to the inside

  • @WeeGal159 I think the stirrups are a tiny bit longer for normal riding than english riders generally have them, so they can't really rise out of the saddle anyway.

  • @Chloe5558 THEY ARE FINE!! DO U EVEN RIDE?

  • GET A HAT ON. this is not expert this is dumbass.

  • When western riding was invented, it was much more practical to not post because you had much better balance when twisting around corners and sharp turns and the like when herding, and when roping cattle, you didn't have to worry about the post plus trying to stay in the saddle while getting yanked by a cow or calf.

  • Posting is not easier on the horse than a sitting trot because a good rider will absorb the up and forward movement through their relaxed hips!

  • @WeeGal159 and if you roll with the horse in a western saddle it is more comfy for you and the horse.

    besides the only thing western in this video is the saddle. western riding is done with one hand (neck reining) and if I find a poor example of an english rider and say its a hard on the horse its not exactly accurate is it?

  • is that really a trot?
