Trot (horse gait)#Riding the trot

Trot (English "rising trot ") means in equestrian sport a particular seat at the trot. When rising trot a trot kick is caught in the stirrup with durchfederndem paragraph, while the back is easily taken out of the saddle, respectively. At each subsequent step trot is eating again.

Objective

Primarily, the rising trot to relieve the horse's back, which is also the still inexperienced rider allows you to follow the movements of the horse smoothly serves. This is the back muscles "that the harnessing [ ... ] facilitate ," and it comes to swinging back which transmits the driving aids of the hindquarters forward and the rein aids from front to back.

The horse should consequently make long zoom and stretch to the soft hand on the reins, so look for the following; it finally comes to a forward - backward - stretching, and that is to looseness. It is also said: " The horse is back here."

Implementation

The trot is a two-stroke gait; the rising trot is done after each half cycle of the AC from sitting to self- collection. You always have to sit on the outward-facing diagonal of the horse's legs, the inner hind leg takes up most of the load and the inwardly facing diagonal can swing freely. If the latter auffußt and swing inside hind leg with outer forefoot forward, the rider is lifted. The beginner who should incidentally deliberately count ( one-two- one-two ), simply makes sure when he looks to move forward the outer shoulder - then he must be willing to let synchronously swing out of the saddle. That should always be on the two. However, would be an "active standing up, in which the rider far away with the back of the saddle, flawed". It is rather a movement of walking with the horse.

When incarcerated supple weight and leg aids are somewhat enhanced. Helpful is a " very slightly more prone upper body " because that prevents a stiff in the saddle flop. When changing hands simply remains a half Diplomatic sit longer and then counts as before ( one-two- one-one - two-one - two).

Application

In the solution phase and later in the recovery phase, the so-called breaking in, should always be easily trotted. This also applies to the breaking in before dressage or jumping. At the end of the solution phase is eating when the horse can be a bit gathered.

Even within the working phase of a training session is the rising trot of relaxation between exercises and can be connected upstream of the walk on a long rein or surrendered. The terrain is generally easy trotting; here is to make sure often enough to change the hand so one-sided loads are excluded.

The trot is a part of training tasks of the lower classes. Spring horses are preferably slightly trotted when breaking in and after the trail ride out before the course. Young horses are generally not eat out at a trot.
