For english riders, when casually trotting outside of a lesson, do you prefer to sit the trot or post?

post. its easier on the horses back also

Depends on the horse/pony I'm riding- If its Jack, I am always posting, as trying to sit his trot rattles my teeth, on pony, Doc, or mare, will sit the trot for a spell, post if speed/time increases....

I said post, but that is because it is a habit from riding Kristay's choppy trot. Scout has a smooth one so I find myself sitting more and more.

I voted I prefered to post, but really I sit the trot just about equally as much as I post

if im riding bareback i sit, but i always try and psot cause its easier in the horses back!

I usually post because when I sit eventually I will get bounced up into posting anyway

I post. It's easier on Ollie's back and I need to work on my sitting trot. lol.

I can't believe I'm the only one who prefers to sit it!

I prefet to sit, just because I can "feel" the horse better and rate them easier. But if it's one of those bone-jarring ponies...uh....I'll sit it as long as I can, to try and see if the horse can be working into a pace that lets them smooth out, if not, I'll give up and post.
