   So we've learned how to know the correct diagonal, but know what do you do if you are on the wrong one to change it? There are two different ways to change your diagonal that are explained further below.

Sit Two Bounces

   This is the most common and popular way to change your diagonal. By sitting two bounces you are better able to help keep your horse's balance and you don't lose contact with your horse. However, you shouldn't slam your seat into your horse's back! That can really hurt your horse.

Post Two Bounces

   Holding the up position of the post for two bounces will also change your diagonal. This way can be gentler on your horse's back but, it is also very common to lose your balance more easily this way. It is also harder to maintain a steady connection with your horse this way because your seat is no longer there to help balance.
