No matter which style of horseback riding we do, our foundation is
the seat--the rider's lower-body position that permits
communication and control with the horse. A good seat, to which
every rider aspires, is the result of coordinating one's body with
the horse at rest or in motion. And although the process is the
first thing a rider learns, perfecting a good seat often takes many
years of study and effort.
Although many instruction manuals delve into the subject, until now
there has not been a book entirely devoted to developing a seat
that is applicable to all styles of riding. In The Seamless Seat,
veteran instructor Kathleen Schmitt begins with a discussion of how
we learn in terms of creating an environment in which we can
understand and then build a good seat. She goes on to show how
human and equine anatomy interact, creating the "platform" that is
fundamental to a secure seat. Elements of such approaches as
Neuro-Linguistic Programming and the Alexander Technique are also
discussed.
How the horse moves at the walk, trot, canter, and gallop, as well
as its position at the halt and rein-back and its movement during
transitions between gaits--all have a bearing on the rider's form
and control. Those elements lead to the various types of seats: the
passive, active, resisting, and unilateral, and when each one is
appropriate. They in turn lead to the rider's leg and arm positions
and the rein and auxiliary aids, all of which become optimally
effective when the secure "seamless" seat has been achieved.
Whether your discipline is English or Western riding for pleasure
or for competition, The Seamless Seat will make you a more educated
and capable horseman.
