To preform the sitting trot you should already have been riding at a posting trot and developed a good sense of balance. Begin by sitting deeply but lightly in the saddle with your weight in the balls of your feet and lightly wrap your legs around the horses barrel. As the horse trots try to let your ankles and knees absorb the impact but not bounce. You should be able to stay steady in the saddle enough to do a sitting trot.
