I have searched the internet and found instructive articles. Sadly since Saddleseat is not very popular some of these sites are for other riding disciplines.
Although they are not directed toward the Saddleseat Equitation rider per say it does not mean they are useless.
I highly recommend reading these articles if you want to improve your riding whether or not its equitation.
