Glad to hear things are going well and you have sourced a saddle.
In terms of galloping, as with much else, keep a relaxed leg beneath the knee, soften the stomach and go with the movement of the animal beneath you. Lean forward, especially when using weapons. All common sense really. Just hold on and go with the horse.
