I have some serious trouble keeping my lower leg back when I ride saddleseat. Anyone know any way to help me keep them back? :confused:

How secure is your seat in general?

I ride classical dressage and it's been a real challenge for me to get my leg as far back as my coach wanted it. I found it was directly related to "finding my seat", whatever that means. :o After literally dozens of hours at sitting trot and hours on a lunge line and small improvements along the way it just finally "clicked", my seat became deeper and "natural" and riding with my leg back became relatively easy.

Do you ever do lunge lessons? I really love lunge lessons and ask for them once a month or so (even though I'm sore for days!) it REALLY helps particular issues like this.
