How to sit without being TOO heavy with your seat bones

The video focuses on correcting a common mistake among riders: having a seat that's too static or heavy. Thomas Ritter explains that an effective riding seat is dynamic and flexible, moving in harmony with the horse. He emphasizes adjusting weight distribution and seat movement to enhance the horse's balance, flexibility, and overall performance. The key is to experiment with lightening or deepening the seat, depending on the horse's movement, to improve engagement and communication. Riders should adapt based on the horse's needs throughout the ride. Thomas demonstrates how small adjustments can make a big difference in your riding.
