How can you ride a horse without bouncing up and down in the saddle all the time?
Ariel 128 asked:
I’ve ridden a horse about 10 times in my life and my father will not let me rid his huge working cow horses. All my friends and I get are the smaller gentler ponies and horses. All we do is bounce up and down in the saddle. Help! Guess what? We live in Texas. We could all pass for New Englanders from the city.

Didn;t anyone ever tell you to put some pressure on the your legs in the stirrup, almost standing and absorb some of the shock in your legs barely letting your butt sit in the saddle. Especially when trotting or galluping. Move with the horse as they move rythemicallly.

Glue yourself to the saddle!
No, I’m kidding! I don’t think it’s possible not to go up and down! It’s natural!

You have to get in rythm with the horse, also have your stirrups properly adjusted so that you can have at least a fist of space between you and the saddle. As the horse, moves you will almost standup on altenate strides as if to float.
