#MindfulMonday
Having a balanced seat that moves with the horse is so important when there are shenanigans! Keeping the upper body over the hips is also key! Have you been on a horse like this? How did you handle it?https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1KACkd1nRX/

Fire 🔥
We have several large fires where I live in Utah. The closest one being only about eighteen miles away. A nearby town has been evacuated since Saturday. The smoke has been thick and making it hard to be outside. I have phone number ankle bands for the horses and an evacuation plan in place if need be. Paying attention to the fire and also packing to get ready to move and close on a new house has made it difficult for me to pay attention to Skool, though I do pop in and post once a day. Bear with me!

Girl you got this! How many points am I suppose to give you for this challenge? lol---I'll think of something! Just so you know the terminology Containment vs Controlled, people get this confused and at times I have too. Summary from Editor at Wildfiretoday. Containment means a line is constructed, mopup is ongoing, and the spread is stopped, at least for now. Control means mopup near the lines is complete and the line is expected to hold. https://wildfiretoday.com/contained-or-controlled/ Stay Safe & Happy to hear the rain helped and you're not in harm's way.

Control the Hips
Are you able to fully control and use your hips and pelvis in the saddle? If not what is holding you back? https://www.facebook.com/share/r/184sBQG77m/

Yep...locked up and it's time for stretching so I can get my ass in a saddle again.

Unpopular Opinion
There has always been a rif between Western and English riders. The people are different, along with attitude and expectations. I say, as long as you are safe and care well for the horse, it doesn't matter. What do you think? https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18hsM7DDEr/

I agree with you

Perching Forward
The most common rider issue I see is collapsing the hip flexor and perching forward. Even just a bit throws other things off in the needed aleignment to ride effectively. ➡️ What do you see in these photos? Besides the perching forward, what else do you notice?

Slouchy spine, if that makes any sense and the butt doesn't look like it's comfortable in the saddle. The 2nd pic: looks more aligned/centered and comfortable. Looks like a beautiful day too.

Yeah, I think so. Titled Forward position in 1st Pic. 2nd Pic more on the butt bone??
