Re: [RC] Posture & Pickups - Janice Taylor - Janice TaylorIt has been a while since I watched that segment. As I recall, they were working on relaxing a cantering horse (Arab) <g> because she wanted to race around faster and faster. Linda instructed the rider to sit in that laid back position as an exageration at first, then as the horse relaxed (and she did right away) the rider was to slowly come up in a more upright position. Even then the rider was more or less on her pockets. It did seem to really relax the horse from it's frantic racing around. It looked weird, but it certainly worked on that horse. I had my granddaughter try it on her horse and her horse slowed down and became much more relaxed. I've since tried it, but being much older and stiffer...it was too difficult for me to get into that position. Hard to undo old habits...<g>
