habits

[welshiegirl]

Oh and i canter I look to the leg to see if they've right or wronged it instead of feeling for it, because Monty used to all the time wrong it! but as I say then again if i concentrate enough- I can do it ;D

[toshiba]

just started poking my tongue out when i ride?!?!

[toshiba]

don't know why

[LucyHebditch]

Letting my reins get longer when encouraging the horses to stretch at the beginning and end of a session. I forget that even though they're stretching there still needs to be a consistent contact!

Mine are my jumping position, working on it though, just need to lean forward more over the fence and when in lines litterally drop everything and just slouch.. :3

mine is looking down, my poor instructor gets tired of shouting at me for the whole lesson!!!

Same that is my task this year. I have been practising all winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emilyequi]

i rock in canter really slightly now, as i broke my coccyx (fell down the stairs:/) but hopefully this will go soon as it was never there before it! but looking down also

[casper15]

I have a bad habit of looking down to one side when I'm jumping and also forgetting to keep support on my outside hand! That just causes my pony to stick his head in the air! I'm getting better slowly!

[smalley]

looking down! And also leaning forward slightly and dropping my hands... But I'm getting better thankfully

[11ilovemypony]

Going too fast and letting my pony do all the work
He is a total sweetheart and just sorts it out when I go wrong

[sundance20]

My hands they do things by there self I don't realise till I watch videos back and they jiggle around! and looking down!

[clifton]

me too leaning forward and looking down

[reachforthestars]

Looking down and my hands

[lulah]

Apparetently I raise my right shoulder. I dont even relise I am !

But I do know that I lean forward too much in canter. My instructor "puts" me in the right position before we start our canter work and it feels so strange! More like im laying on his back! Ovbs im not its just im so used to leaning forward slightly.

[jazzylouxo]

I used to always be looking down and hunched my back really badly! But now that I do dressage you can really look down, because you have to be so accurate ect.. When ever I do showing all the bad habits come back haha, think it's because I concentrate more on the pony than myself in the show ring.. Thank god I barley do showing!
