I rode yesterday using the bands (under supervision from my dressage coach).
They highlighted that my weight was not in my stirrups, especially in my right foot. Once I adjusted to correct this, I felt more balanced and lighter in my seat. My hips were in line with my horses shoulders, allowing for my horse to in turn, be balanced on all four feet.
I’m excited to see how my riding and body awareness progresses, to assist with achieving my goals in my riding. 😊
