Cazza
this could be happening because you are not in balance through the rise- or you are gripping in the rise- both common faults. Or you could have a loose lower leg position because of your own musculature. Are you quite muscley in the thigh? So really need more information before I could tell you whats going wrong- a video would be perfect or more desription.

Also have you tried standing whilst trotting? It helps me to keep the weight down into my stirrups, to find the right position for my legs and improves balance.
