The Position & Aids of the Rider

Quotes from the FEI Rule Book

“Article 418
The position and aids
of the rider

1. All the movements should be obtained without apparent effort of the rider. He should be well balanced, with his loins and hips supple, thighs and legs steady and well stretched downwards.

 

The upper part of the body easy, free and erect, with the hands low and close together without, however, touching either each other or the horse and with the thumb as the highest point; the elbows and arms close to the body, enabling the rider to follow the movements of the horse smoothly and freely and to apply his aids imperceptibly. This is the only position making it possible for the rider to school his horse progressively and correctly.

 

2. Not only the aids of the hand and the legs but also of the seat are of great importance…”
