A friend of mine forwarded me an interesting article about position in dressage. It asks: What is a perfect position? Edward Gal rides in perfect balance but sometimes his feet stick out like airplane wings. Does that make him less perfect? I don't think so. He has the best seat in the dressage world, fluidly staying with the movement of the horse no matter how big it is or where it goes.

The article mentions Stephen Peters as well; his tact and elegance and understanding.
You can find the article
here. Let me know what you think. When I get back on Winston, I'm going to think more about moving in harmony with him and less about the airplane wings in my boots.
