A lot of what he was saying we'd done with Adam already in our passenger lessons, he didn't go into the whole "where are their feet exactly" thing but he did ask her to forget about using her legs and turn her whole upper body where she wants the horse to go, "imagine you've got an extra set of eyes on your chest and they need to face the same way as the eyes on your head" he said. "point your tits to where you're going" was how I translated that......
And above all, be supple, don't tense up and breathe in time with the horse's movement. "Ride like Lucky Luke" he said......it doesn't matter what you look like, it's how it feels to the horse......
Pretty much the first time I've seen a Frenchman riding without hauling the horse around (although he rides with more contact than me, ie any at all) and kicking it to bits, too........He's called Olivier Cayre, his site is here
Could definitely see a difference in Tanya's riding too, she was a lot less stiff towards the end of the session. Would be interested in seeing how he works with horses on the ground.
