<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the photo of Olympian Steffen Peters below. He demonstrates that a good position is not just pretty, it\u2019s effective. When I teach, I often refer to two straight lines: One runs through the rider\u2019s shoulder, hip and heel (perpendicular to the ground). The other goes from the elbow to the hand and on to the bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I\u2019ll explain why the aids are most effective when they are in these lines. The shoulder-hip-heel line allows the hips the most flexibility, which gives the rider\u2019s back maximum strength. For instance, if a leg is too far forward, the hip is straightened which takes away the shock absorption it provides. This makes the back tighten all the time, lessening its strength because the horse becomes immune to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s much like a girth\u2014 pressure all the time, therefore, it becomes meaningless. The rider\u2019s weight can be an influential aid if normal is passive for the same reason; change makes a difference, constancy creates compensation. If the rider\u2019s body is forward or back, her weight is not passive; it\u2019s influencing the horse\u2019s balance to compensate for the rider\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Examining the Rider’s Lines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The elbow-hand-bit line also should be straight because, essentially, it allows us to be part of the horse\u2019s mouth. If the line is broken anywhere, it reveals tension, which inhibits direct following. Think of it as a line of communication. If it\u2019s straight, the message can travel directly from the horse\u2019s mouth to the rider\u2019s elbow, which allows or inhibits neck movement. If the wrist is cocked, there are many more stops before the message from the mouth can get through to the elbow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dressage Olympian Steffen Peters demonstrates that a good position is not just pretty, it\u2019s effective. (Note: This photo was taken before helmet rules were implemented.) \u00a9Diana De Rosa Photography<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look at Steffen\u2019s position in the photo. It shows these lines perfectly, and we all know he\u2019s effective! His hands are in a relaxed position, sitting at about a 70-degree angle (if 90 degrees is vertical). We want this angle because this is where our arm naturally rests in the position we hold the reins. If the hands are held at a lesser or greater angle, there is a torque in the forearm which makes the biceps tense and puts a bit of tension on the horse\u2019s mouth even if the reins aren\u2019t tight. No matter if you\u2019re tall or short, the angle remains the same, although the reins may be longer to compensate for a shorter forearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To know how the horse\u2019s mouth feels when you use the reins, try this<\/strong>: Have a friend hold one end of a pair of reins and you hold the other. You\u2019re the horse\u2019s mouth (so you can feel what the horse feels), and your friend is the hands on the reins. Both of you need to hold them taut enough to feel each other. First, your friend grips the reins (tight fingers and biceps but not pulling). Then she relaxes the grip (just fingers and biceps) without giving. You will notice a huge change in the feeling without changing the amount of pull. Without giving away pressure, just an elimination of tension makes the rein feel softer on the horse\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now look at the other straight line in the photo that runs through Steffen\u2019s shoulder, hip and heel. Note also how his back is straight; there\u2019s no arch in it. This indicates that his back muscles are doing as much work as his abs, which is crucial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing I\u2019d like to point out is Steffen\u2019s eyes. I always tell people that their eyes can look at the horse, but the head must stay upright. When we lean our heads down, it changes our weight distribution. The head is heavy and influences our balance a great deal. Often when we\u2019re told to look up, our whole head comes up, which makes things better because it makes the balance less on the forehand. Steffen demonstrates this perfectly; his head is erect and just his eyes are glancing at the horse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you, Steffen, for letting me use this photo. I couldn\u2019t ask for a better example of how the correct position is correct because it works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
