A little anatomy lesson! We need to have good mobility in our hips and pelvis to be able to follow the horse´s movement.
As horse riders, our seat is the most important aid and it´s affecting the horse all the time when we are sitting in the saddle. We need to be able to follow the horses movement (passive seat) and when we can follow the horses movement then we can also start to influence our horses movement with our seat (active seat).

Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Johanna Janatuinen, I´m a physiotherapist, animal physiotherapist and riding instructor. A big passion of mine has always been training horses and also rehabilitation. This channel is all about horse and rider wellbeing, and horse and rider training and development. You will find tips to improve your riding in and out of the saddle, and especially on how to develop a better seat in the saddle, which I think all good riding eventually comes down to.
I have worked with horses and riders for more than 20 years, first training horses and teaching riding in Finland where I live and also abroad. Later I studied to become a physiotherapist and after that also specialized in animal physiotherapy. I treat and train horses and riders, my biggest focus being to develop the connection and understanding between rider and the horse.
