When horseback riding, I always forget. Is the outside the center of the arena and the inside the leg next to the rail? And in English you post to the inside leg correct?
That is, as the horse’s leg on the wall side lifts, you should rise up in the stirrups. As the leg rests on the ground, your bottom should be in the saddle.
The inside of the arena is away from the fence, the outside is the fence of the arena. As for the posting question, it depends on if you are talking about the hind leg or the front leg. A horse trots on a diagonal, meaning if the left front leg is forward, then the right hind leg is forward. So, if you are going to the right with the arena fence on your left, you would rise with the right hind leg (or as most people learn, with the left front leg, the one to the fence or outside of the arena.) Hope this helps.
inside is the leg towrds the arena,outside is your leg towards the rail.You post to the outside leg,when you horses shoulder (outside)moves forward is when you rise.
The center is the inside of the arena, and you post to the outside leg. If you are tracking left around an arena rail (counter clockwise), you’r left would be the inside, and you would be rising & falling (posting) withe horse’s right front leg.
If you are tracking right around an arena rail (clockwise), your inside would be on your right, and you would be posting to the rythym of the horse’s left front leg.
No, The outside is the fence. The inside is the center. Remember the you go inside the arena. And you post on the outside. But you may want to check that…
On the circle it is correct to post to outside which would be leg on the outside of the arc or curve of the circle, rising with the outside leading leg of the horse. If asked to “change diagonals”, you sit a stride and then rise to the opposite leading foreleg. You need to be able to “feel” that the horse is traveling “united” with diagonal fore and hind legs striding forward at the same time and not “pacing” or traveling “disunited” A figure 8 at the trot is often asked for in order to see a change of the posted diagonal. The logic is to free the leading leg from weight, (however you need to change often to keep the horse equally limber on both sides as it developes muscle in accordance to this as well.) Think of Circle instead of Arena and you will picture yourself walking a circle, now look and see which leg is inside the circle which is out. Hope that helps!
You post to the outside leg… and the inside is the center of the arena. Just think of it as inside being actually inside the ring, and the outside being outside of the arena.
(edit) Before anyone else says that it’s the inside leg you post to… here’s some sources to back up what I said. RISE AND FALL WITH THE LEG ON THE WALL. This means that when the outside leg is moving forward, you rise, as it moves back, you sit.
You post to the outside leg I think, or I could be mixed up, I can only really tell when I’m riding. The inside is the center, the outside is the rail.

“Rise and fall with the leg to the wall.”
That is, as the horse’s leg on the wall side lifts, you should rise up in the stirrups. As the leg rests on the ground, your bottom should be in the saddle.

The rail is the outside. The center of the arena is inside, your inside leg is to the center of the arena.
