Dressage with Amelia

Improve Your Balance in the Saddle Q&A


Listen Later

This week we’re diving into rider position — from balance and strength to saddle fit and stirrup length — and how each affects your security and effectiveness in the saddle.

I’m sharing fresh tips from a recent clinic with German trainer Albrecht Heidemann, why fitness is key if you ride just one horse a day, and how post-surgery recovery made me rethink core and glute strength!

In this episode:

  • Finding balance without bracing in your thighs
  • How stirrup length & saddle design impact position
  • The two muscle groups that make the biggest difference in stability

We wrapped up with a Q&A session tackling ankle motion, neutral spine, fixing a chair seat, and more.


Happy Riding,


Amelia
