The Seat–Selfseeds Virtual Riding Program Online

Exciting and thank you Heather for getting the Selfseeds Virtual Riding Program online.  I have my first official tester who submitted an assessment form with all of the required videos and it is working!  Remarkable to be in India half a globe away answering questions about riding, fitness, timing, feel, and how to further develop a riding partnership.  One of the questions was about moving from hunters to dressage and how to develop a “proper” seat.  I feel that a balanced, flexible, core connected seat works with riding  horses in general, but the refinement is for a particular discipline.  I am not going to ride 50 miles sitting the trot like I am going down center line in a dressage test, but I can use the principles for a “proper” seat while riding 50 miles that will help my horse’s back to stay healthy, and mine too!

Here is a great article:
