| Sharon,
|
| I think a great rider makes it LOOK easy. To a person who doesn't know
much
| about horses (like most of my friends and family), it looks like the horse
| is trained "real fancy", and the rider is just sitting there:)
|
| A bad rider makes it look difficult, and not so pretty..
I watch my old instructor ride for instance and I can see her concentrating.
The picture is beautiful but is still doesn't look like she's walking in the
park.

"This exercise should be 'part of the soul' of the upper level rider. The
rider should routinely test in light way (or in clear releases) the degree
of self carriage. Will the horse first 'stay to the outside rein' from the
inside leg and a steady seat? And then will it stay there without any
support (save the upright stable trunk of the rider[)]? Training questions
for clear collection." -- galopp
