She is always giving him his head with her hands. He has that Everdale conformation. A short rather upright neck. But she rides softly inspite of all his naturally boxed up bouncing energy. There is room for all types of conformation in the sport
Wonderful riding she is always giving and taking the reins in the test quite obviously to give him self carriage, I defy anyone to be able to manage all the vast energy of this horse like that!. His confirmation is quite upright in the neck naturally an incredibly bouncy horse forward going workaholic gelding who has the best rider. There is room for all types and temperaments of horse in the sport.
Anybody who knows anything about shoeing KNOWS that orthopedic shoeing is done to create equal balance and is a good thing. You need glasses if you think this happy relaxed horse is stressed.
Hyperflexion, hyperflexion, hyperflexion............and she would have the "power" to make a difference and show how it's done correctly. Sad. :( Also, the arms should not be stretched like that. Makes a harsh connection.
There is absolutely no hyperflexion here. What I find sad is that people that know nothing about dressage and how riding must be carved to suit the conformation, experience, temperament and ability of the horse are able to comment and damage this sport.
