What is self-carriage?
The concept of self-carriage refers to a horse being able to maintain its posture independently without relying on constant aids from the rider for support.
In order to accomplish this, the rider must also work towards their own聽self-carriage. This involves riders being light, sensitive, and in command of their movements. It's essential to sustain your posture without depending on the horse for support. Once you achieve this聽feeling you are one step closer in the pursuit of horsemanship.
