Second test on this new mare. I have a trainer and we are in a program, I am just an airhead. Is there hope for us lol
Oh no! if the letters went flying is that points off lol
Thanks for the encouragement! I have no problem doing sitting trot in my jump saddle or riding no stirrups in the jump saddle (sometimes even over jumps if it’s a chaotic ride oops) , but the dressage saddle feels so stiff to me?? Esp in my hips? I feel stuck in there, like I couldn’t escape if I needed to lmao. Did anyone else overcome this stubborn attachment to the jump saddle?! I have ridden in my trainer’s dressage saddle a couple times and it felt so foreign that I was a bit timid about using it at a show. I know this sounds insane since I will obviously need to progress to a dressage saddle to improve.
This is my trainer’s dressage horse and it’s at home… so we don’t have any excuses haha! I just started at a new barn because I am attempting to switch disciplines… the dressage portion is not going the way I expected it to go
It’s also entirely possible, almost likely one might say, that I have chair seat in this video and am too far forward

I am a showjumper but I am learning dressage in order to (hopefully) transition to eventing. This was my second attempt, not sure if I’m built for this lol
