Most people are, in effect, falling off one side of the horse, whilst pushing their torso towards his midline on the other side. 

My most dramatic story about this concerns a Grand Prix rider, whose horse’s apparent problem with piaffe turned out to be her problem. 

There are 3 particularly important points on the boards, and thinking about these can help you transmit force more effectively from your back to your front, as you link them together with an imaginary series of bolts. These also change how your arms connect to your core, how your diaphragm might or might not be 'level', and how your pelvis can have more or less lightness and narrowness. 

I also explore how you can imagine your boards from top to bottom, using this to clarify and strengthen them.
