It is remarkable how well horses can learn to read a rider's seat cues.  In this podcast, I explain how I use my seat cues to communicate with my horses, including how these seat cues can naturally develop.  A seat can: <ul> <li>Follow the motion</li> <li>Get ahead of the motion</li> <li>Get behind the motion</li> <li>One hip bone can be more on top of the saddle-to the left or right</li> <li>One hip bone can be leading or behind</li> </ul> These can be used in many combinations to communicate in detail with your horse.  In this podcast, I start at the riders' head, and talk all the way down to the seat bones. Listen first to get and idea…and the second time, sit on a chair, ball or a tolerant horse and follow along with my descriptions.
