Correct Rider Leg Position // Horse Training Tips with Deanna Corby Dressage

Without a correct and balanced position you will never be able to effectively communicate to your horse and your safety will be compromised. A correctly balanced rider will land on her feet if the horse was to disappear out from under her.
