Rider's seat/position on long rides?

Ok, you mentioned that your sewing machine Arab will fall into this sewing machine trotting if you let him…how do you prevent that?

Prieta, I have worked on getting her to stretch out and relax. A lot depends on how I ride. I started working on dressage at home to get her to where she physically can move better and knows how to. On the trail, I do half halts a lot to get her to slow down but move with more impulsion from behind and ask her to go a little longer and lower so her trot gets longer. She is built really short and compact so its harder for her but she is getting better.

That is what I’ve been doing with her…:no:

I guess that I’ve got to work with her longer before she’d be more comfortable.
