tips on doing sitting trot

Question
hello. may i know how to do sitting trot on a horse? should i grip my knees in the saddle? please answer in detail.

Answer
When sitting a trot, you want to use your legs for balance more than for grip. Remember if you grip the horse, you are telling it to go faster.  You can use them for some grip, but you need to practice this, and you use your feet to take some of the weight off and for balance while trotting.  Use your legs as shock absorbers, to help keep you from bouncing too much.
