Even Horse is listening carefully and taking Notes.

It amazes me how much posture on a horse and posture on a motorcycle have in common. I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 6. That’s 60 years. It took me 40 to finally learn how to sit a bike so that nothing would hurt after a long day of riding. I don’t ride horses anymore but I sure do love this channel

When I took my msf class I had told the instructor that riding motorcycles is a lot like riding horses as well . When I went from western saddle to English saddle it felt just like sitting on my bike no joke

Guess I got lucky. Did a thousand mile day after about two years experience and could only think of how much more comfortable my bike was than any car, bus or airplane I’d ever been in. Need to work on my posture on horseback because it’s almost opposite.

Horses have their own mind though. Riding a bike is in you. Horses are sentient minds

I don't even ride horses but I freaking love this guy. I watched this whole video.

I like his cowboy energy

The guy who I work cattle for is a "reigning cow horse type" guy and he says something all the time that relates to this video. He says "your a rider Mike, not a passenger." And also "stop being a damn passenger Mike, be a rider" hahah.

I know you watch pat puckett & he has a great term for riding properly( ride with your skeleton) there’s such a huge difference in riding in an arena & riding outside.

As an English balanced seat rider who has done my fair share of trail riding with all sorts of people in mostly "safe" situations on known trails (not in the "backcountry") that I or the trail leader knew riding in various English saddles, Paso Fino saddles, Icelandic saddles, Endurance saddles, and various Western saddles, I have found it best for me to do whatever works best for me and the horse and saddle so long as 4 things are true, 1) I better know how to ride "safely" on trail and hopefully know how to cope as best I can with the unexpected, 2) I try to ride horses that are quiet on trail though there are no such things as a purely safe horse in any instances, 3) I learned how to fall safely (tuck & roll) off a horse, and 4) I know how to mount from the ground or from a stable elevated surface like a stump or a rock onto a horse that's not going to freak out because I fell and to dismount and remount again from either side for any reason. Things happen and we just need to be ready for them including deer, slipped cinches & girths, strange noises, or things dropping from me or my horse that I need to retrieve. I do post when I'm trotting in most saddles, not always in a Western saddle, and I find at least per what I was taught about the French cavalry horses that's what they did to save their horses the stress on their backs. Have I been spun around on a horse doing a 180 back to the barn because he was scared by a deer, you betcha! Have I come off a rearing horse or bucking horse? Sadly, yes. Fortunately I wasn't hurt. 55 is not the same as 15. I don't bounce any more when I hit the ground. But no matter where I ride or how I ride, the same straight up and down posture (ear, hips, ankle) that Dewayne advocates is the same one I was taught no matter what breed of horse I rode or what discipline I was riding in.

Excellent, usable information on how to sit. Thank you for sharing! I learned English when I first started riding, had a hard time when I started riding western as I was so used to posting. Then I face planted when my mare side stepped, lesson learned. Now I do it your way 😇

I live in Los Angeles, work in data analytics sitting in front of a computer all day. I have never ridden a horse before. I have cousins in Wyoming who only know the country, farm life, and farm animals. Sometimes I wish I lived in the countryside or at least experienced it!

One of the best lessons I got from an 70 something year old horse trainer was to ride without stirrups. When I was learning to ride they noticed I had trouble keeping my posture and sitting the trot. So they took my stirrups off my saddle! After one or two days of riding like that I was amazed how much my seat improved.

Intersting bit about the posting. Would love more videos on riding basics!

8:35 "Go on your ride and come back and give me back my cheese." That is incredible

A lot of what you talked about comes from military horsemanship. The body supporting itself like a spring and needing to be in a straight line is taught as ear, shoulder, hip, and heel. I think you would really like the book titled "riding and schooling horse" written by Harry Chamberlain, which is also the guy who contributed greatly to the Army horsemanship manual of the early 1900's.

I don’t own a horse and more than likely won’t ever meet a horse but I love this kinda thing. I sent your vids to my niece who is a rider Very educational

Thanks for all your efforts to provide these videos. I am in my 70s and volunteer at a small ranch that provides therapy for kids with disabilities. I don't know how to ride. Hopefully in my next life I will learn from someone like you. 🙂

Love from Albania 🇦🇱 Love your videos. Albania was famous for its Mules

Great description of maintaining good riding posture, love the tree analogy. Respectfully disagree about posting- I believe it can be done, as well as two-point, if center of gravity is maintained. When you become part of your horse as you so well described, the balance is there. Gives you that moment to sit deep during a shy, a bolt or a spin. The endurance and competitive trail horses I've worked on are all ridden English, and those riders are sticktites.

This is amazing I can't wait to see more like this

We appreciate your voice, it is always a pleasure to listen. We need more like you stepping up, with a kind strong voice, and bring back the basic logic. As far as horses, I haven't been on a horse in while, we always have them available here. When I can I get out on my dualsport, not the same but still gets me out there. Thanks once again for sharing.

Thank you so much for posting these, Mr and Mrs Noel. I have no horse, nor know when I'll ever ride one, but even these more equine-focussed videos (as opposed to your more philosophical offerings) are so effective in raising my mood whilst calming my nerves-a very welcome change from what one normally finds on social media. And your work as a whole inspires me to be a better man, even compelling me to pick up the Bible once again and to return to church after a VERY long hiatus. I have a lot of work to do in that area of my life, but you gave me that initial impetus, and I'm very grateful to you both. I sent you an email a week or so ago to say thank you privately, but I would imagine that you get so very many that it's difficult to read through them all (much like these comments on here). But I also offered my help with regards to any video editing, Photoshop design etc. that I would be HONOURED to provide-I want nothing in return as these videos are payment enough. If there's any way I can help by way of thanks, please let me know. In the meantime, God bless you both. "Be logical, be reasonable, be safe, and have fun."

Great video and beautiful horses!

Reminds me of my dad teaching me to ride. Thanks for the refresher! Much appreciated

Great demonstration and tips. Thanks :)

Boy oh boy would I love to go to the range during the 2023 season. Just found out about your channel man, and this is one of the best channels on KZread right now I’m so blessed to have found it❤ been watching all the videos

Thank you for Updating your older Videos!

Thanks for the lesson- hope you and Mama had a great ride

Thank you for doing these videos. Sharing your experience is very greatly valued.

Thank you Dewayne !!

Yay !!! super video...been watching for a while. Sending this to my grand baby.

Thank you for redoing these videos. I’m an original viewer but have showed your channel to many friends.

Thank you for the pearls mister. Well said. It made good sense coming from you. I find myself feeling my way through some rides but it's helpful to have a good ol' boys tips to concentrate on. Thank you sir! I'm still trying to find out what I DON'T know about horses and the more I learn... the more I need to learn.

Interesting video. Thank you. Learned something new

Awesome video Dwayne👍👍👍

Thank you for another lesson.

Love this never been on a horse. Love your channel.

I've been watching your KZread videos for the past few weeks and I really enjoy them I'm a horse trainer and I'm still learning a lot every day I'm self trained by Monty Roberts yet I've learned a lot from your videos as well and I just want to thank you very much for being one of the horse trainers that trains a horse without breaking their spirits I love your methods with training thank you for being a trainer that loves the horse enough that you work with the horse instead of against the horse you're one of the Great Spirits chosen ones 💯💜✌️🙏🌻

Much better. I was starting to worry about you. But this was a great video, very informative. Videos like this are the reason I subscribed to your channel in the first place. Loved the classic cowboy look too. The hat, the vest, the duster and the gun holster. And of course, the horse. You could have ridden right out of the 1880s, one of my favorite periods in American history.

Thanks Dwayne. Great info.

I’m so glad to hear you say you are anti posting! And this video is so helpful! Thank you❤

Love this content!! Love this channel!! Good stuff!!

Great video, thank you!

You are an effective Teacher that clearly pays attention to Learning as much as you Teach.

Just received my first Greeley custom. I got natural beaver x20. Brick crown with raised cross cutter bars on the side crease and a mule kick, from you , in the front.hiher reighner brim with ribbon edge. I have wanted to do this since the mid 80s. Finally did it. Thanks for all you and momma do for us

Sitting both the trot and canter, thanks❤️

Ive got a dryza bone. just like that. I rescued it from the spiders in the spare stable just yesterday. Cheers for the vid sir.

Excellent, thank you !

What you have described is what my brother and I call the Hollywood Ride. We watched old westerns with Gregory Peck and Ben Johnson and would copy how they road in those old westerns. It is the way our Dad taught us. Thanks for the video!

thnx buddy .love your shoot from the hip ,honesty ...appreciate your wisdom ,critica"l arena showmanship riding" isnt the same as real life trail riding ,thnx from canada bro

I like and agree with your thoughts. Also think your way of thinking.

Well my son Lance Alberti took my words right out of my mouth on commenting on your page .,. I'm a horse trainer and I do not break the horses spirits and I trained my son as well with the horses I really enjoy your videos as well please always share your videos with the world and may the Great Spirit always walk with you and your family on y'all's journey in life 💜✌️🙏🌻

Good stuff as always Dewayne !lee pon speaking straight,never mellow!,

D.C.W. , I haven't rode since I was a kid 55 years ago . I got a TWH rescue 10 months ago and she is just now ready for saddle . When I started looking for info a horseman told me to ride on my pockets . I didn't quite understand what you meant by riding on your points other then sitting strait so I will try your way first . I have all so learned a lot from your other videos thanks .

I'm glad you pointed out the importance of a fitted saddle. I was given a ladies riding saddle and man's roping saddle. The saddle that fit broke and we couldn't replace or repair. I tried using the roping saddle, it didn't work out. After that I'd exercise the mare I had with a riding pad for shorter rides.

Unbelivable how much there is to learn about riding.

Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your weekend.☕🤍☺️

This is definitely something I need to work on

Good advice . Like the use of the core of the body concept very true in English or western .

Dwane really cool great attitude I have 4 sisters & 2 brothers. A big family is really cool Mucho Respect!!!!!!!!!

Thank you sir.

Nice pistol holster. Where could I find one? Thanks for all you do. God bless you and your family and God bless America 🇺🇸

Thank you! I went to a custom leather worker that I knew in Texas while I was still riding out of Bandera, and had him make it for me. However, last time I talk to him he is not currently doing any new work. Sorry about that

Thank you so much for this video! I took riding "lessons" a couple times. Never had been on a horse except like at a zoo. (Yes I was that kid twice as high as the others not caring because I just wanted a chance to even that kind of ride). Anyway the lessons was also So I could ride. Loved it, but not the owner teacher. I basically was paying to exercise his horse. He said I was a natural rider. Showed me how to get the horse to Trot and canter. And that was it. When I asked him how to sit a trot and not post (mind you this guy is a award winning reiner), He just told me that was something I had to figure out myself. He never told me anything other then you can post to the trot and Don't lean back, etc. The one day her told me to canter the horse and then totally left the indoor arena. Now I know horses canter cater to long, so I would walk him until I heard his voice, then I would canter the poor fellow. He had already said in other lessons to switch directions and such. This went on for 45 min. The poor horse was literally grunting and puffing when he showed up again. My dad Had a stroke the day before the next lesson and I admit I used that as a excuse not to go back. Which is sad because this place is 5 minutes from my house. But he never taught this stuff. I know about the hills. One it is common since and 2 Louis L'Amour Wrote about it in one of his books. How he says it is you want to lean up hill, to help take the pressure of the joints that are holding all the weight and make it easier on the horse. Love your videos, Thank you!

Love this!❤

Great video Pardner! 👍 👍

Good Tutorial, I somehow wanted to See it More of it Coming.

Great point on the pelvic bones. A person who has historically had bad posture will feel a bit uncomfortable when they force themselves to sit properly, but only for a while. As they ride longer distances, they will find that they do not hurt as much nor have fatigue issues as quickly.

I have a lot of trouble with getting bounced around once into a gallop. Solutions ?

Informative, good to know, must get riding soon.

Useful for anyone to have as reference

I'm no cowboy but this dude is cool

I don’t know if you done this already but I’d like to see a video where you’re talking and riding. Like we’re on horseback on a slow ride together. If I’m askin too much, I’d understand. But I think a horseback vlog would be nice to see so we can hear the horses walking and making their noises and nature in the background. That’ll be really cool. Love your videos!

Great video DeWayne. Proper posture is absolutely the foundation for all types of riding. If you don’t have pasture, it doesn’t matter how well you think you can ride or not. Posture is the foundation to put you in balance with the horse. If you don’t have that, you can’t be in balance with your horse. And, the horse suffers too. Ty for a great topic. Also, I ride a couple of my horses in bosals. What are your thoughts or experiences with them? Do you have a video already? Or could you make one? Ty.

great info, i know a few English riders, they wear them selves out, bouncing in the saddle , give me the smooth controlled ride any day

Dwayne, another good video. Nice looking holster! Too bad, the He doesn't make them anymore. Thanks for the time. good remake.

Good information

love it

Gratulations on your subs, they are rising very quickly. Where's the cigar today?!

There’s a lot of conflicting information out there….many say you’re supposed to ride on your Jean pockets…which according to this post is incorrect…always enjoy watching Dwayne

Superb.

I never thought about that with the posting...I don't post but that makes total sense...if you're not in the saddle then you're not in the saddle

Good video

See "Centered Riding" by the late Sally Swift.

So cooool!!!!

Ride on point!

"bag of flour" ❤ my dad used to call me this in my childhood when I wasn't able to balance myself on his motorcycle as pillion.

אתה אלוף

When you say pelvic bone you mean seat bones? Certainly not public bones, right? Love that you explained sitting straight and tall! Soldiers are fought to stand this way because it's the only way to stack your bones, if you will, for perfect support and less fatigue! My instructor always said imagine a string coming up through the top of your head. Too many people let the movement either out their lower back or out the shoulders, none of which is good!

In Italy, there are some Yoshies to Ride (according to the Red Saddle).

Beautiful full flap holster. Bet a big boy lives there....:) Great video.

this man is a youtube father figure honestly

Great man like and subscribed ‼️🙂 my friend please do more horse control and riding. Basically everything about riding horses 🐎

Вау!Как я понимаю вы ковбой :).Мне очень нравится атмосфера.Нравится ваша ковбойская атмосфера, чего-то старого..Лошадь, револьвер, шляпа, старомодная одежда.Я поощрён :), особенно почитав книгу Льюис Стивенсон "Похищенный.Катриона", мне очень напоминает такие времена), думаю я написал более чем понятно 😅

Looking forward to the sitting the trot video. At a slow trot I can do it, but when my mare speeds up, still at a trot, I find it difficult to stay in rhythm and I begin to post.

Nice 🙏🏼

Mate, I’d love if as mentioned you did a video in sitting the trot

Waylon’s looking good.

I would be interested on your view on different tack such as the bear trap type of saddle and other types of gear we don’t usually see in your videos.

Also a great video! Can you show by riding in a video how to sit correct in the trot? Best regards from Norway

I don’t even ride, but it’s a good video!

Thanks man now im a real 🤠
