How can you keep your legs still when rising to the trot?
Horselover1994
You can keep your legs still at a posting or rising trot by squeezing with your knee calves. If you squeeze with just your knee calves, from there down to the stirrups it should be still. Unless you have a horse like me where you have to bump him in a rhythmic motion to keep him at an extended trot. So the answer is to squeeze more with you knee calves instead of using your feet to post.

Which is easier on the horses back a sitting trot or a rising trot?
I prefer a rising trot unless you have a gaited horse or are very good at sitting deep in your saddle. When you sit, you could bounce around and bump your hores's back. When you rise, you lift lightly out and come down gently if executed right.

Increasing Speed Walk: From a stop, squeeze your lower legs to get your horse moving. Working Walk (WW) (Alternating Legs): You squeeze your legs, one at a time. Trot: From a WW, lightly squeeze your legs to trot. Canter: Lightly squeeze your legs from a trot Gallop: Lightly squeeze your legs, and either make a "clicking" sound, or a "smooch". Decreasing Speed Walk: Pull the reins gently. Trot: Pull the reins gently. Canter: Pull the reins gently. Gallop: Impossible (fastest you can go.)
Should you post when you lope?
No you shouldn't, posting(or rising) is only used in the trot or jog :)
