The USEF coach (Becky Hart) is recommending a 'deep seat' at the  
canter for training/competition as opposed to a 2-point seat.

now - the 'chair seat' is a little bit exaggerated - but the upper  
body position of some of these riders is not that far off. I honestly  
can't figure out how some can get their legs so far in front of them  
though! I've tried it, just to see how it feels, and it feels very  
strange and very precarious... and it only works on a horse that has  
settled in to the gait - not on a pulling horse.

Steve Rojek has (imo) the best canter seat I've ever seen - and I  
think that comes from the hours and hours of dressage he does with  
his horses. They just roll along-
