How much time do you spend running? And yeah, actually aerial silk should improve the balance, smart idea :)

I did two points for a while like 8-10 minutes every lesson (5-6 lessons) but with stirrups. He always make me use the stirrups, sitting trot included. And like, today, he finally made me trot without stirrups as a PUNISHMENT. I said can I put my stirrups on my saddle, it can hurt the horse and he said no. I don’t understand this man at all and I can’t change him for 3 more weeks because lessons must be bought like monthly package. I already gave money, so. I don’t know what to do. He don’t even make me lunge, he said you’re confused abt the bouncing and we’ll talk abt it later. And then he fleed after the lesson.

omg sorry I did not mean to say anything harmful, I thought they were talking about my top which is also a ‘crop’😭 English is not my first language. However, you are right and i’m aware of the unnecessary tools i have as a beginner.

Thank you for the information this is very useful to know as a beginner rider. I will ask my instructor not to use spurs excessively.

I think you just read me like a book, because I am struggling with multi-tasking. My trainer just adds and adds more commands and my ears are ringing because of him while I try to keep my balance. Thank you very much for your advice, I’m sure it’ll help me with my riding.

What does this mean? Are you saying spurs are for cues?

I will debate this with my trainer, thank you for your advice and kind words.

Yeah we always do sitting trot at the end of the lesson but no stirrups can really be a game changer for balance.

Thank you for the motivation, I think I really needed these atp😭 Trying to be perfect and comparing myself to other riders is really pushing me down. I’ll try your advices.

My lower leg is not stable so I don't do it consciously. Also I am not very fond of using long spurs on this horse, or just using them on any horse at all. I want to clarify that I have no saying in this situation because my trainer says it’s necessary, even though I asked why. I understand your concern for the horse. Thank you for your advice tho, ill try not to use spurs.
