Your work is great ! you show the real work which looks not always "beautiful" at the beginning. But the results through this work is amazing. Keep up your great work ! :) Kind regards from germany
Can you teach this in a snaffle?? Mine rides in a snaffle but I only ever see people teaching in heavier bits. I don’t do reining, I just want her to collect more so no need for her to learn to ride with more bit :)
Check out Art2Ride on RU-vid. It’s classical dressage foundation training but is an excellent foundation to all disciplines. They use a double jointed loose ring snaffle. It’s all about getting the horse to move laterally off leg and stretch down into the contact while lifting it’s back and keeping long swinging cadenced gait. Gradually over time, you work on shortening the reins and bringing the head up higher, without shortening the strides and without them curling there noses back to their chest like in this video. So many people think curing the nose to the chest with a curb bit and shortening the stride is collection when it is just forcing horses into hollow frames. Many can develop serious issues especially from being overflexed in the 3rd or 4th vertebrae. In the dressage world, overflexion is an actual training style called rollkur or LDR... these are NOT good. If you want your horse to last well into it’s 20s and not break down and need injections or surgery’s or constant butte or develop a sour attitude as it ages then true collection begins with proper foundation work to build the correct muscles over time.
there's more than 1 way to skin a cat this is form to function in reining maneuvers. not English riding lol the sliding stop would fare well with a uphill horse and high head carriage 🤣
Horrible! The highest point of the horse should be the poll. This horse is bending at the 3rd and 4th vertebrae. The western versio of RollKur. Totally wrong! Prior to this video, the horse have obviously been trained with draw reins and a tie-down, neither of which belong in the tack room of a respectable equestrian.
complete Dummy you are. Do you understand why this horse needs to be formed like this due to the maneuvers he performs. this is reining not dressage lol
