I get a bit obsessive and it feels good to relax and try something less structured. Plus that leg/core workout is awesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-89095694202550100712015-01-15T08:25:06.197-05:002015-01-15T08:25:06.197-05:00I always find my hip angle closes when I ride bare...I always find my hip angle closes when I ride bareback, and my legs come forward more than they do in the saddle. That said, my "upper hip" does that make sense? Opens more to follow. <br /><br />Weird. <br /><br />I did a lot of bareback riding in the last month, too. Either to save time, to conserve body heat, or in order to keep my ride intentionally lower key. Yay bareback!Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-18983530539819022542015-01-15T01:51:00.818-05:002015-01-15T01:51:00.818-05:00I totally agree with you on the extra work, honest...I totally agree with you on the extra work, honestly. Last week I rode in a halter three times while I did light w/t to stretch out some sore pony muscles, and the fact that I could whip off my saddle and then take off my horse's halter while walking him into the stall seriously was so dreamy.... so dreamy....Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834098473974912416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-22525860661112625992015-01-14T16:35:16.320-05:002015-01-14T16:35:16.320-05:00glad that bareback month was so worth it!! i'm...glad that bareback month was so worth it!! i'm leaning towards making it a more regular part of my routine after reading some of denny emerson's thoughts on the 'independent seat'... emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-11225193459115199422015-01-14T12:40:33.502-05:002015-01-14T12:40:33.502-05:00Sounds like you've learned some great things -...Sounds like you've learned some great things - if my pony weren't so stupidly bony I'd ride him bareback a lot more!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092098198949213494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-9829646769139697192015-01-14T12:39:29.844-05:002015-01-14T12:39:29.844-05:00I never thought how much warmer it is riding bareb...I never thought how much warmer it is riding bareback!
