Hi, I have a SERIOUS! Habit of pulling on Brandy's mouth on trails, such majorly pisses her off. I've only made it on 1 trail on her where I haven't fallen yet! I need good tips for helping me stay calm! I even try western rein! :(
Hey Kaitlynn,
Sorry you're having this problem.I think Justice covered it all pretty much,but I will add....to get a more deep,relaxed seat in the saddle,try riding without stirrups,but don't do this on your own.Have someone put a lunge line on the horse and then work with you.Also if someone could go with you on a few trail rides.They could snap a rope to your horse's halter and you could practise relaxing,yet still in command of your horse.Good luck and be safe :)
