Olympic medalist David O'Connor works with Sinead Halpin to demonstrate that the rider's seat dictates the tempo and the length of stride. He explains that altering the tempo of their posting, the rider can influence the tempo of the horse's trot and his stride length. This creates smoother movements and softer transitions that don't come exclusively from the rider's hands.
