Hellooooo -
So, here’s another doozy from me. I haven’t attended many shows in the past several years, and my JR. Exhibitor days were spent w/ my mom in tow and a sort of trainer. In turn, I basically learned from asking lots of questions and watching riders/trainers at the shows.
Here’s a question: In the hunter classes I was under the impression that for the extended canter, the rider sits his/her butt into the saddle and kind of leans a bit back. For the Hand Gallop, the rider leans forward in (almost out of) the saddle. I have seen people do the opposite on occasion as well. I assumed my way was the correct way, but then again, I could be making a fool out of myself too. What’s the correct way?
P.S. I hope that question makes sense
