How do you improve your balance in the saddle when your horse suddenly spins around? Or stops suddenly? Standing on one foot, although helpful to improve balance, does not fully address the situation. You need to have the flexibility to withstand an external force and remain upright. Standing on unstable surfaces isn’t enough either.  That doesn’t help when the perturbance comes from another source than under your feet. Fast drills to improve your reflex time also falls short because those changes of direction and jumps are planned. They are expected by you because they are planned by you. 

 What is best to improve your ability to maintain balance with unplanned perturbances? Tune in to find out!
