Upper body slightly inclined forwards. Lower legs both back a little. Close legs but maintain contact. With a very educated horse you would need to do almost nothing except bring lower legs back and incline torso slightly forwards. With a young horse I teach it in hand from the ground then with a rider on top but the ground person still assisting. This was what I was taught myself and its always worked. Makes sense because the seat is lightened allowing the back to come up as the haunches lower.
En iemand anders vult nog aan. Na het stilstaan als volgt weer vertrekken:
And to return to forward movement, return to less inclined position.
En op mijn vraag mbt "close legs but maintain contact antwoorde ze als volgt:
Yes so that the horse doesn't think go forward! When I say contact I mean light asking fingers not a death
grip! but this is with a less educated horse. The more the horse becomes sensitised to the aid the hand becomes unnecessary.
Dus…volgens haar ook het lichaam heel licht naar voren
