Re: [RC] Posting back to basics (I humbly disagree) - Sheila_LarsenOk, I hope nobody comes walking by my cubicle as I try the exercise of
posting as described. I guess to some extent I do tighten my butt muscles
too but I do try and keep things as relaxed as possible.
Thanks,
Sheila

Re: [RC] Posting back to basics
(I humbly disagree)
but your butt should be relaxed. If you tighten your butt muscles then you end up tightening the upper inside of your tightswhich creates tension. OK, I understood you should tighten those interior muscles that slide the muscle up and over your seat bones...this gets better all the time, I really don't want to figure out how to describe tightening them...maybe if you saw a cop in your rear view mirror while going 80...nah, maybe when you're trying to hold it till you get to a bathroom. :-P I feel like my new improved way of posting is described perfectly by the earlier "basics" description. However, it's going to take some time for me to build up the right muscles. This weekend the posting was effortless, but by 40 miles I had some really sore spots that I don't usually have simply because I was doing things differently than I'm conditioned to do. The last 10 miles I was telling myself "Post UP not forward" to try to use the old muscles that I've conditioned a little more. I'm going to have to work myself hard for the next month to condition myself the right way. A lovely horse is always an experience....

I've read Beryl Markham's book & biography and the main thing I remember from it is that people who knew her said she was fearless because she had absolutely NO imagination. So now I consider being a chicken a sign of a healthy imagination.
