Description
If you want to be more than a passenger on your horse’s back, you need to sit in a position that allows you to give aids lightly but effectively, without hindering your horse’s movement or losing balance. In short, the more correct your position is, the more effective and balanced you will be as a rider, and the easier it will be for you to progress through the dressage levels.
