I just happened upon your site tonight. Thanks so much for posting our clip and sharing--and thanks for the idea about doing a show on how to sit the trot. That's a good one, too. We work hard to make sure we're covering real riders with real problems--that most likely other people have, too! I appreciate the feedback! Heidi Hi, I’m the producer of Horse Master.

I like the way the instructor approaches the situation in a non-threatening, positive way. She remains friendly, upbeat, and uses positive reinforcement when the student gets it right. I also like how she rides with the student so that she can show by example. An instructor can't always do that on the ground.

When I am training beginning instructors I teach them to watch for the rider to be up when the inside front leg is back. For me it has always been easier to watch the inside leg than "the leg on the wall" because I'm usually on the inside of the circle teaching. I also hold a longe whip in the middle of the shaft and tilt it side to side to demonstrate the diagonal of the rider and the horse's leg while saying tick tock, tick tock with the rhythm like a metronome because (I'm a dork lol) it helps the rider understand the pace, and the ground person really see the diagonal. I saw this episode, and I thought it was wonderful. I <3 Julie Goodnight :).

As I watched it, I was imagining trotting in my office chair and could immediately tell that it would work! I can 90% of the time feel my diagonals, only because I know how it feels to be on the right one and how it feels to be on the wrong one. I never tried to feel it from the hind end, although I knew I was suppose to! Anyways, thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it. I felt like I got a little riding lesson at work!

The best I've got is to ride bareback and/or without stirrups lots and lots. Would love some tips like in this video for the actual function of the body though. I'm going to dig around and see what I can come up with. OTB – I wish I had some good exercises for sitting trot. The best I’ve got is to ride bareback and/or without stirrups lots and lots.

I love the fact that she understands that she is a role model and will always wear a helmet when riding because of it. I used to watch a few horse shows on RFDTV, but most of them were just self promotion so I got sick of them all. Well, All but Horsemaster. I love that show and it has stayed on my DV'r List! And what I could use is a tip for working on my sitting trot...I can sit if I slow the impulsion, but then I will lose gait quality. I am piggy backing on your entry and if anyone has good sitting tips please share those too! I would love to get Julie Goodnight to teach me in a clinic.
