Hi Tracey,
To post on the correct diagonal, go up when the horse's outside shoulder (and leg) is forward and sit when it is back. You can see which is forward just by looking down and one will be ahead of the other. Let me know if this helps

I'm really glad to find this group... currently, I'm only able to get out to the barn once or twice a week, so I've been reading up on dressage tips to really make my lessons count.

I have only just started dressage lesson as my instructor feels my horses are suited for it. I hope to try a show or two this summer. I have two rather green Gypsy Vanner mares - I think it is good training for them and they do seem to enjoy it.

Hi folks...I'm also a dressage newbie and glad to find this group.

I am still struggling to learn to post on the right diagonals...I searched on here and also on Youtube as I'd like to find a video I could watch that would help me.

I took dressage lessons about a year and am planning to start back up as soon as I find an instructor near my new barn. But I want to get back to practicing as I feel I've forgotten all I learned.

Anyone know of any good videos online I can watch to refresh myself on posting on the right diagonals?

Told ya I was VERY new to this!

Thanks,

I started in hunter/jumper, did things like handy hunter and hunter pace, equitation on the flat and over fences then moved on to 3 day eventing. I also did some fox hunting (fake foxes!) and it was during this time I was really introduced to dressage. I am now hoping to concentrate with my new horse on dressage as she seems to be really keen on it! She too is very young (3 this year) so we are just starting. But it is alot of fun! I can't wait to learn more and start showing!

I have been riding dressage for a couple of years now, but have not done any testing as I have found myself in a situation with two green horses, so the process has been slow as I too am a bit green. I hope to muster up the courage and prepare for my first training level dressage test next spring as this is what I'd like to do...just for fun
