The posting or the sitting the trot?

I’d find sitting the trot very very tiring.

Once you learn to post, it really doesn’t require any effort to do, the work is actually being done by the horse.

It was the sitting trot that tired young Rob out. He was about 10 and riding his pure white pony named Santa Anna. General Lee brought it back from the Mexican War for his youngest son. Once Rob learned the sitting trot, then he could post.

Thank you for all your help.

If you want to read a very good book, may I recommend Traveller by Richard Adams. (He is the same author who wrote Watership Down) It tells of the Civil War entirely from Traveller's point of view and it is a marvelous piece of work.

I’m right the opposite. Up/down makes me tired. I seem to be able to find a better rythmn , sitting.
