Why Extending Your Hip is Crucial for the Rising Trot 🐎 When you rise out of the saddle in the trot, your hip needs to extend to allow for a smooth, controlled motion. For proper hip extension, it’s essential that your spine stays in a neutral position. You also need your hamstrings to stabilize the lower leg while your glutes push up into extension. Many riders struggle with this because they want to take their weight onto their legs and use them to push up, which causes them to tilt forward—o

🌟 Why Rider Control in Rising Trot Matters 🌟 The rising trot is a crucial skill that requires control and balance to minimise strain on the horse. The key? Moving with the horse, not against it, while protecting their comfort and performance. Research highlights clear differences between experienced and novice riders: In the rising trot, the rider’s hips should follow a forward and upward arc, mirroring the horse’s movement as the hindlimbs propel it forward. This motion: ⭐ Minimises Vertical

⬆️The Rising Trot: Two Common Mistakes I See When it comes to the rising trot, I often notice two common habits: ❗️Standing and over-arching the lower back (often relying on the hands for balance). ❗️Tipping forward and gripping with the thighs. ⏩ Both of these habits shift the rider’s centre of gravity forward. Making it harder for both horse and rider to balance. For the rider to stay in control of this rise and maintain effective posture. Neither approach helps you stay in sync with your hors

📐 Opening your hip angle in rising trot - without pushing the foot down! One of the most common mistakes I see in rising trot is riders trying to open their hip angle by straightening the knee and pushing the foot down - almost just standing up in the stirrups. The problem? ❌ It takes away your ability to move with the horse ❌ It blocks your hips instead of helping them open ❌ It creates tension through the leg and disrupts your balance What you want instead: ✅ Keep the knee soft and stable ✅ L

🙄 People love to comment “rising trot is easy.” And honestly… yes, it is easy… once you actually know how to do it and your body has the control to make it happen! But getting there? It’s like learning to walk. Sure, walking is “easy” now, but you weren’t born already knowing how to do it. You learned by wobbling, falling, trying again… over and over. Rising trot is the same. It’s a skill. It takes: 👉Balance 👉Timing 👉Rhythm with the horse 👉And a body that can organise itself while moving -

Do your legs shoot forward in the rising trot? There are a lot of reasons this can happen, and like most things in riding, it’s not black and white. It’s not just a single muscle group responsible…everything is firing in different proportions and constantly adapting to the movement of the horse. But with the riders I work with, I often find that shifting their mental model of the rising trot from a squat pattern (where the knees travel forward and back) to a hinge pattern (where the hips initiat

Rising Trot Progress: What We’re Aiming For and Why It Matters Someone recently asked me what I want the rising trot to look like after I posted a video showing common patterns I see – such a great question! Here’s a side-by-side comparison of a rider who has worked incredibly hard over the past few months, making remarkable progress (note: progress, not perfection! 😉). 💡 Previously: Forward leg, posterior pelvic tilt, tipping forward. Stirrup as the pivot point, causing instability and heavy
