> > Laney Humphrey : The change in my comfort and security level is
amazing, and what's even better is that my horse feels better and isn't
a spooker any more!!!>>

That's what the RWYM instructor also said.  It was also proven on that
weekend because as soon as the riders - almost all of them - sat
properly in their "new" bodies, their horses spooked less and
concentrated more.  I reckon it's something to do with the horses
feeling more comfortable with your new position in the saddle.  My
"original" position was very straight, with the straight back, boobs
out, shoulders back posture we were all drilled with.  I was like a
toothpick on the saddle and spooks unseated me regularly.  With the new
position, I felt much more secure and even a stumble couldn't unseat me
as it used to.

And yes, the instructor is very important.  I deal better with pictures
and that is why the Centred Riding and RWYM system is so great for me -
I can relate what the instructor is trying to get me to do to a picture,
which makes it much easier.  Oh, and she changed my one stirrup, but
otherwise left them long and just had me flex my legs more, which took
the weight out of the stirrup.
