I learned the coolest thing from a Lynn Palm video on tv. It was about finding your seat or something like that. Anyway, she sat in the saddle and had her husband on the ground and they would sorta slow motion show you what happened if you sat looking down at the ground, or with a hollowed back etc. Helped me to see when i stare at the ground without knowing it I am pitched forward and in a spook it will cause my feet to come out of the stirrups, which always had happened! Then she had you slip a couple of fingers under your rear and then all you do is turn your head, and the horse can feel it! it was awesome. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
