  1. 1. Starting position: Sit upright in the saddle with shoulders relaxed, heels down, and hands holding the reins with a soft, elastic contact.
  2. 2. Execution: During the trot, absorb the horse's movement through your pelvis and lower back (sitting trot) or rise and sit rhythmically in time with the horse's strides (posting trot).
  3. 3. Tips and safety: Maintain core engagement, breathe steadily, and avoid stiffening your lower back to protect your joints from excessive impact.
