Okay I have a tip try closing your legs. It should help!

I'm feeling kind of dizzy
I need you here with me
I'm running out of breath
The clouds are spinning 'round me
There's nothing right about me
Darling there's a spinning in my head
So bust through the door
And tell me I don't have to wait no more

Lots and lots of no stirrups, as well as just more practice with keeping your legs still at the trot.

| your legs may be flopping out of habit? i had a friends who did the "rise and squeese" too obviously and had a tought time breaking it. i agree on the no stirrups. play around with it; different rhythems like "up-up-dow", "down-down-up", two-points... all that good stuff. pace yourself, though. i find it easier to start off with a goal and keep progressing as you ride. i.e- im going to go half the arena. succeed. rest. repeat until wanting to do more. good luck :)

Lots of leg strengthening exercises - Stirrupless, leg stretching, and double posting.

I agree with what others have said. Riding without stirrups does wonders! Just drop them when you're warming up, and make a habit of doing it for a few minutes, it helps in the long run.
