Marley is in a much ?stronger position when she bends her knees and shifts her weight slightly behind her hips. From this position, she can resist a much ?stronger force. Because she has angles at her knees and elbows, she is in a strong, supple, elastic position. She can use leverage to control her horse, not just strength.
