To correctly influence your horse, you must have a basic understanding of how rider biomechanics function so you can find the most effective position to go with his movements. In Part 2 of this series on biomechanics for adult amateurs, based off her videos on EQUESTRIAN+, Stephany Fish Crossman continues working with adult amateur Cindy and her Lusitano gelding Dangi.

The USDF medalist and Dressage Today Podcast cohost is an expert at helping her students better grasp rider biomechanics in order to improve their position, fine-tune their aids and enhance overall communication with their horses. Here, she helps Cindy correct her leg position and learn how to keep her seat still in order to apply her aids effectively and stay with Dangi’s movement at the trot and canter. Plus, she offers nuggets of wisdom that all adult amateur dressage riders can employ to hone their skills and partnerships with their horses.
