makes sense bouncing on spine wouldn’t feel that great

It makes sense that a posting trot would interfere less with a horse’s movement. Good article, thanks!

Riding a young haflinger that is still developing is like sitting in an old truck on its last legs. It is difficult to ride a young draft because they are not built for flashiness, they are built for power. I love riding my haffies canter though, it smooth and rocking chair like.

I always had to post even though I ride western cause I learned to ride on a Standardbred/QH with a horrible trot.

Well, it certainly makes sense. Probably better for the rider’s back too!

Ok, any good rider could tell you that obviously it hurts the horse when you don’t post! LA. DUH.
Legit, who wants a person on your back bouncing all over tarnation!?!?!? My friends horse will buck if you don’t post to his trot! Great article though.

That is a good thing to know. I will have to practice posting more.
