The trainer will begin to teach you proper rider form, or "sitting," and the rider's position and movement at various steps on the horse. Including standing, four-beat jogging, two-beat trotting, pressing waves with the butt on the saddle during trotting, and hitting waves with one sitting and one sitting. After a few lessons, when you have mastered the essentials of these basic positions, the instructor will teach you how to control your horse to move, turn, and stop. At this point, you're free to let go of the tune and ride, and it's time to continue with the basic riding lessons.
Walking: When the horse is walking, the four feet move forward in a rhythm of four beats respectively. At this time, you should sit firmly on the saddle and learn to push hard with the strength of your waist, back, thighs, and calves, so that the horse strides forward, and the rear foot of the horse should step in front of the hoof mark of the front foot. Also relax your neck, shoulders and arms. Many veteran riders agree that the slow walk is the easiest and hardest foundation.
Breaking waves: When a horse is trotting, the two diagonally opposite feet land on the ground at the same time, and move with the two diagonally opposite feet in a two-beat rhythm respectively. When the horse is doing a trot, the rider puts his feet against the horse's belly on the saddle and does a standing and a sitting motion in the up and down vibration of the horse's back. When standing, use the strength of your thighs and calves to stand up against the horse's belly, not by stepping on the pedals. When sitting, relax your buttocks and sit down with the strength of your lower back, while keeping your calves close to the horse's belly. Let the horse's rhythm be stable and not hurried, and the horse's hind legs should be stepped forward vigorously.
