I normally ride western but I'm going to a college where they teach you to ride both western and english so I picked up a cheap used english saddle. Its been 5 years since I've ridden english and when I hopped into that saddle it felt like I was riding bareback!!!! I know I'll be learning this in a year but that's so far away and I thought I might as well be posting correctly. I've got the rhythm down its just my posture i guess, that's messing me up, I don't feel comfortable. My sister told me that I don't look right either. So how can I re-learn how to post correctly? (along with lots of practice, I know!) Are there any exercises in the saddle I can do to strengthen my legs? Thank you for the help!

MY teacher tells me "Rise and fall with the shoulder to the wall." Which means go up/ forward when the shoulder of the horse nearest to the wall goes forward. When the shoulder slides back, you get sit back down in the saddle
