I really hope Jinger really gave it to her straight and told her what she needs to work on. Missy should not be cantering around like she was, flopping around everywhere. I think she legit thinks that western riding is just sitting around not having to do anything.
Missy, if you are reading this: we all have to start somewhere. You can post in a western saddle, it's not just for English riders, most western riders will post under certain circumstances and if you are going to be trotting around that fast you should learn to post because it's hard on your horse's back and legs to bounce around like that. A sitting trot is for slower trotting, in western it is a jog.... And you don't just sit stiff and bounce around, you have to move your hips with the rhythm of the horse's movement in order to sit even a jog. Same with the canter, it's a rocking motion and you have to rock your hips with the rhythm of the horse's gait and sit back in the the saddle, stop leaning forward you're going to go flying off if you need to stop suddenly. Nacho is working hard for you Missy, you need to put forth the effort and work hard too. Take some lessons with an experienced trainer!
Jinger looked pretty good on Nacho she clearly knows what she's doing (at least more than Missy by comparison), maybe she'll get Missy on track.
