Improving your seat

How can I improve my seat in canter and over fences?
Answers from HayHay's experts

Here are two tips to improve your seat.

Focus your eyes. Keep your gaze ahead and your chin centred over your body. Try not to tip your head to one side.

Build your balance. Shorten your stirrup leathers a touch to come up into a stable light seat. Practise standing up in light seat with both reins in one hand while you stretch the other arm straight out from your body to challenge your balance.

Good luck with the training!
