#diagonal-aids

I saw the seat discussion when I was on my personal blog, so I didn't say anything at the time. However, I was always told to use my seat as an aid? It's probably the aid I rely on the most, too. If I restrict my hip movement a bit in canter, it helps my horse know I'm not looking for a huge ground eating stride. If I sit deep and follow through her moment, she has her natural gait. If I emphasize the movement with my hips, she gives me more "oomph". If I'm super light, she usually slows a bit.

Out of curiosity since Dallas is looking so good on timothy, what's your opinion on orchard grass (or is it orchard cut...) if you've fed it/know anything about it?
