Hi there, I don't know if you watched the Dressage vidy I posted but you can see that the rider allways has her center lined up with the horses center of gravity, which is in constant motion. To have a hope of riding well you must be able to stay in your center as well as shift it with the horses movements.
To find it we sit (or stand) tall, do a military shrug, drop our shoulder behind our hips and tuck the pelvis. Now flat of hand between belly button and pubic arch, travel inwards about 6 inches, imagine glowing ball of light. Fill that ball with power and NRG. Now pull head up. press neck into collar, lead with hips. Imagine a sail filling with air and pulling you forward.
(This must be forgotten TOTALLY when striking,. . . . . . I've been training this for 25+ years, sometimes for 6 hours a day, 7 days a week. "My shoulders Do Not Hunch, of course my front is open. Hey! Stop hitting me! ")
