Posting With The Motion of a Horse is done how?

Posting Ahead of The Horse's Motion

Your upper body is ever so slightly ahead of the vertical at the trot. Close the hip angle only so much as to keep balanced as you post. Let your horse thrust you, up and forward from his rhythm, instead of driving from a push of your seat and contact. Let the horse do the work of the thrust forward and/or up, relaxing into HIS motion, not your creation of motion.
