Many horses drop their lumbar backs when trying to lift their forehands. This prevents them from coming over the back and carrying the rider in a healthy way. We show and discuss ways to help the horse coordinate better.
Well...I wish you had done some extended trot with the black horse! Are you saying that it is possible for a horse to do the levade and still not have correct back development? I have an Akhal Teke at.4th level that I think needs piaffe work!!! I really enjoy your videos because they are so in depth about how dressage affects the musculature of the horse!!
Thank you! The extended trot will come, he is not quite ready yet. Yes, for some horses, it is easier to do a levade attempt than to do a good, supple and balanced extended trot. We promise to show it when he is ready, and cover why it is difficult.
