what happens is the rider is out of balance, see that stupid hunch in the rider... they think they can ride this way, but they lack strength in the knee and thigh, so they hit those kidneys hard, there are many who ride this way... I think it started YEARS ago, when a fancy horse came in and the rider rode that way, the horse won, and it became a "FAD" it is just poor riding in my opinion, the Arab Riders, NSH riders and the Saddlebred riders ride this way... you can post that trot, I have, still do, it is fun... but he is making it look hard and horrible, YUCK...
