Sitting trot wiggle: Help at last!

Posted: 03 Jun 2010 02:11 PM PDT

This footage from a Jeffrey Moore clinic (see biographical info) offers some nice nuggets of wisdom for riders who do the "waist wiggle" during sitting trot.







I tried his suggestions and they helped. I have come to understand that the  waist wiggle is not necessarily from core weakness but from other things -- not engaging the right muscles, bracing/clutching at the knee, or stiffness at the hip or shoulders for example.  My waist wiggle is greatly diminished when I open my hips and soften at the knee.

Thanks to barnbynoteswatch for posting this video...
