[QUOTE="Canadian_Cowgirl, post: 421319, member: 5502"] are you riding english or western?? have you foot on the stirrup so the ball of your foot is in contact with the stirrup, point you toes up, so your heel is down. your stirrups have to be the right length so you can put weight on then with out having to strech your leg, and hold on with your knees. lol Its a lot easier to do it than to tell some one how to do it. I was 12 or so and i had this stubborn horse, this one spot in teh ring he hated, and i knew that so we would walk by he would see there was nothing the matter, after we got by we would trot or lope or what ever, well after about 2 weeks of this i thought he was good to go by at a trot so by we went and he was good did this a couple times and he was fine. so i picked up a lope and went by the first couple times he was good so i relaxed, and he felt this, couple more times we went by then he decided he didnt want to so were lopping along, and he jumps sideways and of course i was excpeting this and i totaly whiped out, hit the ground, and he stands there and looks at me like hes says "what are you doing on the ground" i was mad, but couldnt stay mad at that little guy he only did it a couple more times, then he tried again and didnt get me off and he never did it again. Mom always said" Anyone can fall off but the real riders will get back on and keep going" I cant count the number of times iv fallen off or got bucked off, but i still ride and wont ever stop. Hope this helped :) Katy [/QUOTE]
