Don't worry, I'm not creepy, I promise. I don't know if your still having a problem with your sitting trot at all, or a posting trot for that matter, but this is pretty much helpful for any one no matter if they're having a problem or not. <br /><br />When your doing a sitting trot, sing the Oompa Loompa song in your head, or even out loud. It has a perfect slow two beat count and even thinking it in your head tells the horse what rhythm to have!! <br /><br />Also, when posting say the words 'right right center center left left' over and over, and when you do it think of putting weight on the right, center and left. <br /><br />Obviously you don't want to dramatically put more weight on one side, but just thinking of positioning instead of speed really helps them give you a super rhythmic trotMarissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209197198281908402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743416867781673656.post-44028576315627606552012-04-03T23:37:49.391-07:002012-04-03T23:37:49.391-07:00Hey there, thanks for checking my blog out :) I...Hey there, thanks for checking my blog out :) I'll definitely be checking yours out as well, I skimmed it tonight and your horse is beautiful - good luck with the recovery!!Louisa Valentina;https://www.blogger.com/profile/03635679863212377114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743416867781673656.post-42770263723063736222012-04-03T18:36:57.042-07:002012-04-03T18:36:57.042-07:00Hello, I just started following you and look forwa...Hello, I just started following you and look forward to reading more about you and all the horses in your life.
