How to Improve Rider Balance in the Saddle | Hip & Femur Biomechanics Explained

Struggling with rider balance in the saddle? Feel unstable, crooked, or stuck in your riding position? In this biomechanics-based rider training video, I break down how to improve rider balance using the structure of the femur and hip joint. Most riders think balance is about core strength. It’s not. True rider balance comes from understanding how the femoral head (the ball of the hip joint) moves within the socket — and how weight shifts between front/back and left/right quadrants. In this 8-minute equestrian biomechanics lesson, you’ll learn: • How the hip joint affects your riding position • Why riders lean back, collapse forward, or sit crooked • How to shift weight evenly through your seat • A simple off-horse exercise to improve balance in the saddle • How better hip awareness improves your horse’s movement When your pelvis is aligned and your weight is evenly distributed, your horse can move freely through their back. When you are stuck in one quadrant, your horse compensates. This exercise is ideal for: – Dressage riders – Show jumpers – Eventers – Riders returning from injury – Anyone wanting to improve their seat and balance If you want a more effective, ethical way of riding — start by understanding your own biomechanics.
