Balance in Movement

How to achieve the perfect seat
The art of successful riding is the development of harmony to such a degree theat, to the onlooker, horse and rider perform in unity. The rider's key to this ideal is not a static seat, but one that is capable of adapting to all movements of the horse. The closer the seat follows the movement, the better it can influence that movement and remain in perfect balance with the horse.
