Posting trot.
Another name for the rising trot is the posting trot. This term is commonly used to describe the motion of rising and sitting in rhythm with the horse's trot, helping both rider and horse maintain a balanced and comfortable gait.
Over long distances, it is better for the horse's back if you can do a rising (or posting) trot, standing and sitting with every alternate beat of the horse's hooves. In high level dressage tests, riders sit to the trot, and this is done before canter transitions in general English riding.
The natural trot for a horse under saddle. It is the normal trot for the horse.
a working trot is a trot between a collected trot and the extended trot. It should be energetic and have good forward motion, not 'pokey', but should not be 'fast'. Just a good active pace relative to your horses motion.
No, posting or rising trot is a way to ride the trot and you can post any type of trot. Extended trot is where the horse lengthens it's trot stride to cover more ground. Typically this causes the trot to smooth out a bit making it easier to sit the trot.
After trot comes canter! An easy way of putting it is: Halt >> Tip-toe >> Walk >> Sitting Trot >> Rising Trot >> Canter >> Gallop Hope this helps xx
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.
No you shouldn't, posting(or rising) is only used in the trot or jog :)
This is called posting. When you are trotting your horse in a circle and posting to the trot you should be rising out of the saddle when your horses "inside" (meaning the foot that is inside the circle) front foot is behind and sitting when the foot is ahead. This is called the correct diagonal.
When you are riding a horse at a trot you can either sit the trot (something that require a lot of practice to be able to do well), or do a rising trot where you post (go up and down in the saddle) in time with the horse's outside leg.
doing rising trot without stirrups improves your balance and seat. 1. Don't rely on your horse rise and drop down gently but quickly never let the horse choose what you do. 2. Keep a straight back and reinstry not to drop side to side.
