Today we are riding Mowgley!
This week he has a new hurdle to overcome.... but it is towards a good way!!! He is now taking the contact more consistently, but he is now often against the bridle. (previously he was mostly behind it)
Alicia explains that even though this moment can be not pleasant, it is ok to have the progression look a little messy as you go!
So join us today where we show you what to do with a horse like this.
We show you what to do with a horse that avoids the contact. He either sticks his head in the air like a giraffe, or tucks his neck in. We are going to show you how to fix this. You'll learn what things matter, and what things don't on this journey to contact.
All will be answered in this video!
We hope you enjoy this and learn heaps from this episode. Be sure to leave us a comment on your thoughts of this horse in the description below this video!!!

Geez, I wish my trainer told me "contact doesn't always look pretty" because I actually stopped riding my boy because he was doing THIS, up down, out, connect ...and repeat! I was scared I was gonna cause him kissing spines ...thinking he was hollow all the time. I'm gonna start from scratch with him again and PLEASE keep these videos coming because it will be my guide with my TB from now on. May God bless you. Really, really thanks!!!

I have watched this series in the past but really helpful to go back & reflectvon now, thankyou Alicia. This is just the sort of signs I'm currently seeing in my horse as she struggles to move from free reign or bitless riding to the new ways of dressage, being asked of her! You clearly demonstrate the steadiness required, during all the head movements & how all the manoeuvring can gradually lead the horse into taking the contact. It's inspiring to see we're on the right track, & to just keep on going! I love when I fast forward in time to see where Mowgley is up to now, & there just how far he's come using your system!! We should we one step closer each ride, hopefully!!! Lovely video, love this series!! ❤❤❤🐴🐎🙏

I love this 😻 this is the stage me and my horse is now 😹thought I don't want to push him to walk too high with his head yet but when he enters contact he goes againt the bit like this and he is just like this horse when I change direction or tell him where to go 😹

@YourRidingSuccess Год назад

Thanks for watching! Good luck on trying this out on your horse xx

@Life.on.the.wrong.leg2020 2 года назад

So nice you are showing also these steps, loving to see him progress like this. I do have a question on this subject, in your case he throws his head up, what if he would really heavily go down with his head. Is it still activating the hind legs and getthing him to be more supple bij turning and doing baby leg yields?

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Thank you! Good question, try not to think of it as a bad thing when the horse goes down heavily, this means he is seeking the contact but he is also going down heavier on his shoulders and forehand, so the horse is not balancing as much as it could on its hind leg. Try to be balanced yourself as a rider, work on circles and exercises that help the horse make the body shorter and carry more weight on the hind leg. Good luck! ✨

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Good question! We are lucky that we have a quite big round yard so we can ride in there and change direction happily. So before riding in a bigger area Alicia is just looking to have enough steering and suppleness that she can safely help Mowgley navigate a bigger area.

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Hi Betsy, not too difficult once he was more supple, there are a few considerations, one is helping him with your rise as you see Alicia rising faster to set a new tempo for him. Then using quick aids and not nagging him and the suppleness in his body which then allows his paces to be to their full potential and be free.

Thanks again for a great series. My green OTTB interprets my attempts at leg yield as a request to go faster. Do I try solve this by turning a smaller circle & trying to whoosh the quarters out (as you said) in a smaller turn? I don’t want sacrifice the rhythm but I want her to be more supple & less like a plank.

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Hi Robin! Update for you - This is a super question! Alot of people struggle with this same challenge. What I always say is not to think about the neck. Think about everything from the shoulder to the hind. Remember you can't control the hind end, you can only control the shoulder but somehow you have to bring the shoulder and hind leg closer. To get him up in the neck you actually need to bring the hind leg closer to the shoulder using things like shoulder in , leg yield etc. to a point where the rib cage shortens. That shortness is what pushes the shoulders up and the neck will come up with it.

@zoshapiotrowski4112 2 года назад

This video is so helpful! I see so many similarities in my OTT. When I do the figure 8 with my horse, on one rein he is connected but on the other rein he falls out and turns his head and neck in and I lose connection in my outside rein. I often find myself over correcting through the rein as I’m trying to use the train track concept. Should I be be doing a squeeze and release on that outside rein and then leg yield inwards to help rebalance? It like the banana becomes too bananary ( it’s that even a word?!?) and has too much bend! I hope that makes sense! I end up using my outside leg a lot to stop him from flying out the side! Also another question. Would you tend to use spurs instead of a dressage whip?

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

HI there!! REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS!!!! Okay so yes absolutely it makes sense that his banana is too much one way, this is very normal and if you look at Mowgley he is too much banana to the left and Alicia spends a lot of time making him more banana to the right and less to the left. You are right in your correction but try to think about what part of the horse is falling out and it will be his shoulder so you need to use your rein to correct the shoulder. You can use some counter flexion if you struggle to keep his shoulder on the train tracks. You can also spend some more time on your circle to the right so he becomes more supple looking in the right flexion and bend in his body. Spurs can be better than a whip as you want the horse to respond to your leg not the whip at the end of the day xx

@zoshapiotrowski4112 2 года назад

Wonderful video! I have a question though.. Riding an OTTB now - she basically leg yields on her own very often on circles in trying to avoid riding the circle I want. :D any advice on getting her more relaxed so she doesn't do that? (I've also seen other OTTBs for example jumping and they travel in a sort of sideways way to the jump.. so that's it..) Thanks!

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Hi Sylvie! So glad you enjoyed the video! Super question! We have passed this along to Alicia and our team to review for you x

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Hi Sylvie! If the horse is going sideways, what that means is that the horse is very crooked. A basic exercise might just be riding around on the wall focusing on keeping the horse straight on the wall and then moving on to adding on some simple figures such as a shallow loop off the wall, 20 m circle, go across the diagonal and making sure you can keep the horse between your hands and legs evenly. Think of the shoulders as train tracks that the horse needs to always be following. Hope that helps! x

Nice dressage boots!! 1) Are comfortable dressage boots? 2) how many hours you wear dressage boots? 3) Why you have two pair of dressage boots?

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Hi there! Yes dressage boots can be comfortable but they are harder on the outside than other boots so take some wearing in! Alicia only wears her boots while riding as this keeps them lasting longer - the more you wear them around while not riding the quicker they wear out! Alicia has more than one pair so that each pair can "dry out" between riding as the boots being wet is what makes them wear quicker, also Alicia has a pair of black boots which are just for competitions!! Great questions!

@I.equitazione 2 года назад

@@YourRidingSuccess 1) Why the boots are wet between riding, you sweat with dressage boots? 2) I imagine when you have done to do riding that you can't wait to take off dressage boots or not? 3) Are comfortable dressage boots for walk? 4) It's possible ride car with dressage boots?

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Sometimes the boots can get wet from sweat (especially in summer) or even just walking around on a damp surface or hosing the horses off after riding - if the boots do not dry out between the leather stretches and stitching etc can rot. Not always rushing to take them off! When the boots are new they can be more stiff and not as nice to wear but after that they are comfortable to wear. We would not suggest driving in them - from a comfort and safety point! ✨

Hello Jinae! Thank you so much for your question! Try watching the YT video on leg yield and it would show you specifically on leg yielding on an educated horse and how that should look with your aid. And remember, with the uneducated horse, your opening the rein to show the horse where you want him to go. And the open rein mean that he can fill up that gap and get a better idea of where he needs to put his body. And your rein aid for moving the shoulder should be a push not pull aid that's diagonal. But check out the video on how to do leg yield and that will give you a better idea as it's already on an educated horse.

My ex racer mare is constantly chomping on her bit and she does the giraffe thing a lot and sometimes twists her head and neck and tits the nose the the left. I initially was stopping her when she did that thinking she was uncomfortable, but now i wonder if she has learned to get out of work by doing this.

Great question! A great starting point with snaffle bits is a basic loosering snaffle with a double join in the middle. Most horses do well in this bit, often the issue is not the bit but the connection. Have you learned some tips from this video and previous OTTB videos to help with connecting your horse?

@@YourRidingSuccess I have yes but perhaps I need to watch again and watch at the stables immediately prior to riding her.

What about an off the field Polo Pony next time?

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Thanks for the suggestion! There are many different breeds, the OTTB is a very common breed people train for dressage after warmbloods so we started here x

@lemonladyYT 2 года назад

@@YourRidingSuccess Well, yes. My suggestion was for the next project, not a comment or critism of the current one. I've retrained a polo pony who was (polo) stick shy so would never be any good on the field. They bring about a different challenge to OTTBs but viewers would see the rehab process is essentially the same.

What is Mowgley's breeding? He looks so much like my mare, and she looks like her grand sire Kayf Tara

The audio quality went back to bad.

@YourRidingSuccess 2 года назад

Thank you for your feedback, did you find the audio hard to hear or too loud? And did you notice for the whole episode? We are always working to improve the quality of the videos so we appreciate the feedback. Did you think the audio in this video is improved ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4StQrKsygkA.html

@@YourRidingSuccess on some words it’s a little loud and it get kind of blown out. I understand needing to speak louder when you’re instructing someone. I guess I could describe it as grainy as well. That video you tagged definitely sounds better, some parts get a little bit blown out. Maybe if the mic was put somewhere a little farther away? So you can talk at your normal volume, but it doesn’t get blown out.

Thank you for taking the time to listen and provide feedback! We are trying some new things with the audio and will keep working on it, sometimes Alicia's voice sounds different when she is riding around on the horse compared to standing still also.
