About this episode
Last night's session was all about posture! Whether you're slouching at your desk or looking at your phone, posture affects everything — and especially your ride.
We cover:
- Why posture matters on and off the horse
- Shoulder mechanics and how they affect your contact
- The truth about collapsing through your middle
- Common issues like leaning forward and keeping your heels down
I also shared some lessons I've learnt while recovering after back surgery — and how that experience shifted my mindset around rest, fitness, and not giving up on what you love.
Happy Riding,
Amelia
PS. I've got a free webinar on the independent seat this Sunday at 12 noon PT! You’ll get tons of helpful info on developing a more secure and following seat — RSVP if you haven’t already!
