Do you dread the moment when your trainer says “sit a few strides and ask for canter?”

How are you supposed to ask for the canter when you’re bouncing? And your horse hates it when you try to sit.

Sitting trot is uncomfortable and you feel like you’re going to fall off.

But here’s the truth, if you hate the sitting trot then you’re doing it wrong.

Let me help you succeed with my proven step-by-step program.

Announcing the

The Sitting Trot

CHALLENGE

So you might be wondering...

Why do we even sit the trot at all?

I mean, posting seems so much easier??

With sitting trot you can:

1

Give Clear and Effective Aids

Only when you sit the trot are you able to effectively tell the horse when to leg yield, canter or half pass.

2

Canter with Confidence

You must sit the trot to ask for canter. And the better your sitting trot, the better your canter seat.

3

Establish a Consistent Connection

Improve your horse’s balance and harmony by getting your horse off the forehand.

4

Compete and move up the levels

Despite much debate, sitting trot is a requirement above First Level. So if you want to compete up the levels, you must learn to sit the trot.

If you can’t sit the trot… here’s why:

When you’re able to move in harmony with your horse and ride with an independent seat

Everything gets Easier

and your rides will become seamless and smooth.

This is exactly what I am going to teach you in the Sitting Trot Challenge.

Thousands of Riders around the world have seen amazing results from my challenges.

Real Riders, Real Horses.

These riders are just like you. 30 days from now, you could be showing off your transformation too!

You just can’t follow the motion?

Sitting trot is holding you back.

Your butt is bouncing

Your back hurts

You’re gasping for air

You have an unsteady contact

Your legs gripping

You feel embarrassed, self conscious

Your Horse: tense, hollow, unengaged

Get ready to transform your ride!

Plus we’re giving away $10,000

for the top 10 transformations

Are you struggling?

You’ve given up sitting the trot because every time you try you feel out of balance. And the worst part is your horse gets grumpy. Your bum is slapping and your back is killing you!
Ugh.  It is so embarrassing.
So you’ve given up completely, sitting trot is NOT for you.

But here’s the thing, you need the sitting trot to:

  • Ride a smooth canter transition
  • Ride a leg yield
  • Increase connection and balance

If you’re struggling to sit the trot, then you’re doing something really wrong! 

This challenge will improve your trot, so you’re READY to sit!

The BIGGEST mistakes I see in sitting trot are:

Sitting the trot before your horse is ready

Your horse should be round and forward in order to carry your seat 

Bad Rider Position

If you're bouncing or your back hurts, your rider position is not correct

Trying to “sit still”

The key to sitting trot is that you must move, a lot to absorb the motion of your horse

Giving up!

You resolved that you'll just never be able to do it 

So what if I told you I had a plan that could guarantee you could sit the trot?

So many riders give up because no one teaches them the correct steps to sit the trot! That is why I created the Sitting Trot Challenge, to teach you the right way to sit the trot.

With the right tools, you can and will sit the trot!

This challenge is NOT for you if...

You only want to ride on 'the best' days.

To truly make strides in your training, you need to have consistency and be working with your horse five days a week, even through the rain or days where you’re tired. Consistency is more important than perfection!

Your horse is unsafe or unsuitable for you

Safety first – we always recommend seeking professional training if you feel that your horse is unsafe or that you might get hurt. It’s always better to have a trainer than risk getting hurt or having a bad experience!

About Your Coach

If we haven’t met before, hi, I’m Amelia Newcomb.  I am a Grand Prix Rider and trainer but when I first started riding I was terrible.  I had no natural talent. I fell off all the time, and sitting trot for me seemed impossible.  I just could not figure out what to do with my body.  I was so embarrassed and ashamed.  But I kept working at it and struggling and eventually I got it!

I wish, when I was learning how to ride, that I had access to education like this. I wish someone had taught me step-by-step how to move with my horse and follow the motion.  It would have made life a LOT easier!

I designed this challenge to help you.  To make your life easier – so that you can make progress and enjoy riding.  I cannot wait to share my secrets when you join today!

Happy Riding!

Amelia

No. This program can be used with horses of any age as it focuses on them developing a strong and supple topline. 

Consistency is key to getting a big transformation. If you only ride a lesson horse 1-2 times a week you will still see results by joining this challenge. But the more you work with your horse the more impovement you will see, we recommend 4-5 times a week. Remember though, this is quality over quantity. Every session doesn’t have to be a long one and it’s important to listen to your horse.

This course is designed for horses and riders of ALL levels. Whether you are a beginner Dressage rider just learning about Dressage, or you are an FEI rider, improving the sitting trot involves working suppleness, thoroughness and connection. All elements you’re always working on!

This challenge is designed for riders and trainers of all levels. Whether you are just starting out or riding FEI, you can still be competitive in this challenge. Winners are selected based on how much they have improved compared to the start of the challenge. Not who is the best overall.

To put it simply: Who ever improves the most, WINS! Our panel of judges reviews and compares your beginning and end videos and uses the following categories to judge: Rider Position & Seat, Effectiveness of the Aids, Quality of Trot, Impulsion, Submission, Participation, and Worksheet Completion.

You should still join! While you won’t be eligible for prizes, this challenge is chock full of valuable information that you have LIFETIME access to! So you can go through it whenever you want -and at whatever pace you want.

Yes! From the time you join the challenge, to the end of the 30 days (May 30th 2024), you get access to myself and my team to ask questions, get advice, additional mini lectures, support sessions, and more!

  • A sound and healthy horse
  • ASTM approved riding helmet
  • Bridle
  • Reins

No.  You don’t need to be on Facebook.  You can download all of the educational content to your phone. If you have a question or want to join a LIVE session we recommend joining Facebook! This will allow you to ask questions, share videos, successes, and more! It’s also where we’ll be posting supporting videos and mini lectures. If you don’t have facebook, I would suggest joining just for this challenge.

We want everything to be fair for everyone. A few days before your ‘before’ videos are due, you will get a poster/codeword that you film to ‘date’ the start of the video. The ‘after’ poster/codeword will be released near the end of the challenge.

You’re in luck! All Strides members get into my Challenges automatically! You should have received an email about the release of the material. If you haven’t, please email support@amelianewcombdressage.com and we’ll fix you up!

This course is full of exercises and information to get you ready to sit the trot. You will learn about how to get your horse round and forward. There is information to improve your rider position and more! Being a part of a motivated community will inspire you to ride more consistently and try new exercises.
