Vaulting page

I have started a page on my web site with photos of the vaulting moves I am learning. During this lesson I worked on holding the "riding seat" position. I was surprised with how hard I had to squeeze my thighs to keep my balance while stretching my arms in different ways. I was able to control Bianca with my legs to move to the right and left and also stop by sitting down open and relaxed. As a novice I find it exciting to control the horse in that way without reins. I can think of a few of my hippotherapy kids who can learn these concepts.
