  Discussion on The Arab Trot...

My Arab mare also has a big trot and she hollows her back, I slow her down and it's better but when she is in a medium trot it looks like i'm trying to put my hips trough her ears lol. circles help and I'm a bit glad it's not just me that has this problem. Work on contact (that's hard). Let you and your horse relax.
Think of riding a horse like holding a bar of soap if you grip to tight you loose it and soft hands like you are holding a bird not to tight you squash it but not so loose he flies away.
Want more tips for the mind e-mail me at countercanter@netscape.net I will try to remeber more.
