I know this topic is proabaly on here a million times but I need help really bad! My heels ride up on me almost all the time. If I let my weight sink into them totally, it leaves almost a 45 degree angle between my toe and chin. I am really flexible. My instructor says that I ride on my feet a lot and...

The horse I ride has developed an annoying habit of moving when I try to mount. When I first get into the arena, I adjust my stirrups and tighten the girth and then walk over to the mounting block. Once I put the reins over his head, he will move forward or he'll move to the side - anywhere away...

I have been doing ground work training a young TB/Perch cross gelding for a year now (he is almost two now). He started out very dangerous, wanting to rear all the time, running away for hours on end in the pasture (one time it took me over two hours to catch him in a little 3 acre pasture) and scared...

Just today I came across your question and it happens to be my specialty to solve issues like yours.

I have successfully coached hunter \ jumper for 25 years. I have a new student who used to galloped racehorses. He now wants to rider hunter \ jumper and some eventing. However, the way he rides seems to cause his horse to ride behind the bit. His horse pulls down on the flat and now jumps ahead of its...

You've gotten a lot of really great suggestions so far! My first recommendation would be to work without stirrups on the flat at all three gaits. When you can post (no, it won't be pretty) for a whole minute or so, you'll have tons of the right muscles and balance to help keep you secure...
