@artofthehorseman: A correct posting trot protects balance by matching the horse’s rhythm with an up and down rise. Posting is most effective when the rider avoids back and forth shifting and instead rises and sits in a consistent vertical rhythm. This keeps the rider light in the saddle, reduces interference, and allows the horse to move freely underneath. When posture and timing stay aligned, the trot becomes smoother and more comfortable for both horse and rider. In this lesson, Jack Curtis demonstrates how to refine posting mechanics so the rider stays balanced, connected, and in sync with the horse’s movement.
