Anyone got any tips on throttle control when in low ratio on rough land ?

At the moment when crossing rutted fields in low, as I go over the rutts I'm obviously being thrown about with the result of coming on & off the throttle leading to a bit of a kangaroo moment

Yoga? or something similar? :D
Or just drive slower? :idea:
Or just mash the pedal to the floor? :shock:

Do you cross the ruts diagonally? It helps, but can lead to being seasick.
