Parents, is your child struggling with confidence and control in the saddle? You’re not alone! The truth is, 90% of young riders make this one common mistake—without even realizing it!
And here’s the game-changer… fixing it takes just minutes!
🚨 The Mistake: Poor Balance & Posture
Picture this: Your child is trotting along, excited and determined. But instead of sitting deep in the saddle, they’re leaning forward, gripping too tightly with their legs, or tugging at the reins. This leads to bouncing, lack of control, and frustration—for both your child and their horse!
According to top riding instructors, proper posture is the foundation of great riding. A rider who is off-balance sends mixed signals to their horse, leading to miscommunication, tension, and difficulty progressing.
The Quick Fix: The Invisible String Trick
Here’s a pro-level riding hack that instantly corrects posture and balance:
🔹 Step 1: Tell your child to imagine an invisible string pulling their head up toward the sky. This engages the core and naturally aligns their body.
🔹 Step 2: Their shoulders should be relaxed, and their back straight—not stiff! This prevents tension that can negatively affect the horse’s movement.
🔹 Step 3: Legs should hang naturally, with heels slightly down to keep balance. This improves stability and allows for gentle, effective leg cues.
🔹 Step 4: Hands should stay soft on the reins, guiding, not pulling. Pulling creates resistance, whereas soft hands allow fluid communication between horse and rider.
Why This Works: The Invisible String Trick encourages riders to ride taller, lighter, and more balanced—which results in smoother transitions, better control, and a happier horse!
