Stephen and Steffen are both an inspiration to me. The beauty in this sport is so evident here. I can’t thank those two enough. What a fun project to be a part of.
What a great video. I love all the awesome footage of seeing these beautiful horses legs move in slow motion. Really cool to watch. Kudos to Steffen Peters for all his knowledge he spoke to us about and for being a good man.
What a beautiful film. The slow motion footage of the horses movements is one to watch over and over and over again. To hear of the love for the animal was wonderful. Thanks to all 3 of you for making such an inspirational film.
Love him ! One of the best dressage trainers in the world as Robert Dover, Carl Hester, Jean Bemelmans, Scott Hassler and a few more we can watch and listen here in internet times ....every true great trainer has this humbleness and spirit to be able to put a feeling into words..........and to see how "Rosamunde" developed gets tears in my eyes....i cant understand that jealous people are existing in that amazing sport with our great partners ...but maybe there are two worlds ,the lower not humble class and the upper class with masters
OMG flying changes from ground level! Amazing camera work, amazing eye for the art of motion. I've never thought how a horse breathes at the piaff. Like all great athletes, the breath is key. Are not horses amazing?Thanks guys, this was life-changing.
This is where Hempfling, Nevsorov and even natural horsemanship come in. If you keep applying pressure what motivation does the horse have to enjoy what it is doing? Why would it love to do the movement if it has a nagging mother on its back micromanaging? Softness, timing, balance and feel. You feel to the horse and it feels back to you then you both feel together. These movements were designed for war and bull fighting. A horse will be unsuccessful in both and you won't be able to fight if you are constantly cuing your horse. Doing it is the art of horsemanship
what beautiful footage. I love the changes shot with the gimblet (is that what its called..) Steffen is amazing. I used his not letting the horse use the riders muscles concept and really focusing on engagement. at the end of my ride my horse was like a little sports car it was awesome. thank you for making these premier videos
I know the pain of have Ravel injured. My horse had a torn suspensory ligament and had to go to rehabilitation with swimming pool, acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy. However, he finally went to International Dressage Barn in Wayne Illinois for awhile and then we headed for Arizona...🌹💋💞
Hi ! I don't know if it's up to you but I sent french subtitles last week and I would love to share it to the French dressage community when they will be available. Thank you for all the videos you do !
I'm trying to learn more about how the male body works in dressage. I'm training my BF to ride and I have realized that the way I ride as a woman and the way he rides as a man are different at the bone and muscular structure. Where I do the feminine tripod thing, he sits only on his seat bones, where I need a narrow twist, he needs a wide, and where I need a 17in, he needs a 19in (In the works). I have an incredibly short distance between my hip and rib (About two inches internally or so), and he needs tall clothes because he has so much more room. This is why women often feel uncomfortable in dressage saddles. I trained for years in dressage saddles, only for me to do better than I had done in years after 10 minutes in a jump saddle. In my quest for education for myself and my horse, I have neglected to consider the human element and the element of different body structure. Just as every horse is different, I must remember that every human is too.
