Article: Inexperienced males statistically lead with rock most often for their first move in the game. By throwing paper on your first move against them, you'll likely win. Rock is the statistically most often thrown move at 35.4%. Most women tend to lead with scissors, so if you throw out a rock on the first play of the game you can beat your opponent. Scissors is the throw that is least often used with only a 29.6% chance of being thrown in a Rock, Paper, Scissors game. If your opponent plays the same move twice in a row, they're not likely to use it a third time. So, you can assume they won't throw that move. Put out a move that will give you either a win or stalemate, guaranteeing you won't lose. For example, if your opponent throws out scissors twice in a row you can assume they won't play it a third time. They'll either play rock or paper. You should then throw paper because it will either beat your opponent's rock or be a stalemate against their paper. If your rookie opponent needs a quick review of the rules, use hand gestures to subconsciously suggest to them their first move. For example, when explaining that rock beats scissors, use the scissors gesture to show this (instead of rock), and then use the scissors gesture again when explaining that scissors beats paper. This will have the scissors gesture in your opponent's mind and they'll likely subconsciously play it first. Be prepared with a rock move to beat them.

Throw paper against a male opponent. Throw rock against a female opponent. Look for your opponent using the same move twice in a row. Suggest a throw to your opponent when explaining the game.
Article: Don't pull back, rather act like your elbows are removed from your moving body and you're holding the horse's hand (or, rather, his mouth). As you rise your pelvis should go forward and up, gliding up into the space between your hands without any interruptions. Your back should be straight, with your chest up and your shoulders back. As you go down, sit softly into the saddle only for enough time as takes to rise again. The entire movement of posting should be very upward based, and when your seat touches the saddle it should be done very lightly, and immediately be proceeded by rising again. Firstly, sitting straight up and down takes too long and will cause you to lose your rhythm. Secondly, standing up straight in the stirrups will cause your legs to involuntarily shoot forward, throwing you off balance. And thirdly, rising straight up will cause you to land heavily in the saddle, which puts pressure on the horses back and defeats the purpose of posting in the first place. Instead, you should try to move forwards and backwards while rising, as this is a much more organic movement. When your horse's outer front leg goes forward, move your pelvis forwards towards the top of the pommel. You should only rise an inch or two out of your seat - just enough to clear the saddle. Don't use your feet to propel yourself - in fact, your legs don't come into the equation at all! Point your knees towards the ground, then squeeze your inner thigh muscles to lift your pelvis out of the saddle. As you rise out of your seat, lean forwards at a 30 degree angle. This helps you to move more naturally with the horse, allowing him to trot better. The one exception to this is in dressage, where the shoulders stay straight, in line with the hips. As the horse's outside shoulder move back, sit down softly into the saddle. When you change rein (that is, change direction when riding in an arena), your horse's inner hind leg and outer front leg will switch diagonals, which means you will have to change your posting rhythm. To change diagonals, remain seated for one extra stride, so when you rise from your seat it will be in sync with the forward motion of your horse's (new) inner hind leg and outer front leg. In other words, instead of doing up - down - up - down you will do up - down - down - up. It sounds complicated, but it's easy once you get the hang of it. You don't need to worry about changing diagonals when you're out on a hack, as the horse has no "inner" or "outer" legs outside of the arena. However, this gives you a good opportunity to practice posting and changing diagonals, as you can decide to switch sides as often as you like.

Gather the reins so you're in contact with the horse's mouth. Post forward and up simultaneously, then down and back. Change your diagonal when you change rein.
