For a few months before I was forced to stop riding I would lean to the right and now I still do it. So how do I fix this problem? The only thing I've found work is when I lean to the right the next time I ride I use the supercore saddle and it fixes it for a while. So yeah some help/tips would be nice.

Hmm, you might want to check and make sure that your stirrups are even, and then try to remember to keep an even amount of weight on both sides, rather than just the right side. Hope that helps. biggrin

The love for a horse is just as complicated as the love for another human being...

I know my stirrups are even since my instructor always double checks that 3nodding I try to remember I just get distracted when working on things such as trotting. My instructor says we'll try putting a piece of tape on the middle so I can visually see a very clear middle of the saddle



...if you never love a horse, you'll never understand.

Try to sit up strait,my teacher helped me by saying if I lean I'll drop the tray(Which helps me hold my arms up,the tray doesn't exist).

Won't help you.Do you dare to be you?

Think of dropping your left shoulder, rather than bringing your right shoulder up. You just have constantly remind yourself while your riding, and eventually it'll become ingrained in your head again. If you can ride with mirrors, that really helps because you can physically see when you're crooked. Did the tape on the saddle help at all?

Of course drop your left shoulder, make sure stirrups are the same.
Also may seem weird, but make sure your saddle is on straight.

The only other thing I know that could help, is to look over the horses left ear.
That helps me when I am cantering, when I lean into the circle, there goes my leaning haha whee
