- Riding horses lends itself to some pretty tense situations at the best of times. Dressage is no different, no matter how well trained your dressage horse is at home there is bound to be a moment or two that you find yourself struggling with tension. There are as many things that cause tension in dressage horses as there are dressage horses, and since you cannot control all the variables... even though some of you try to. Yeah, you know who you are. You can control how you adapt your riding program to benefit your horse in a situation where they are tense and tight. Improving your skills at a rider is the only solution. So stop complaining and start riding! Robert Dover is here to save the day and show you exactly how to make the most of those precarious moments in the saddle.

i always like to listen to these Robert Dover training videos ! he is a poet in dressage training, thanks for uploading
yes, and i listen to that
th-cam.com/video/Swg5vHMJvDA/w-d-xo.html
and makes me crying when he says the half halt is the end in itself .....in Germany people are often jealous and then it has nothing to do with love riding and training horses ....
if i win in lottery i would take my extraordinary horse, my best friend, flight over and train for Olympics
or here he says around minute 4.50 "you are already back with piaff hind leg in passage " and then" "find out if you have a piaff in the walk"....yeah !!!....and between min. 4.20 to 4.50 best words...this is why Steffen Peters Rosamunde these days in Rotterdam is doing phenomenal passage.........love it
or around minute 3 its the same how maestre Nuno Oliveira describes to go along the horses back with your own back.....
yes, and what he is telling here and working on with " you are already back or feeling the piaff in walk" would prevent riders hopefully from torturing passage on the spot but then calling it piaff but loosing its energy so slowly, and feeling the piaff in walk implies the true 4beat light collected walk before , so many think wrong as collected walk is slowly, the drama starts they not at all feel the horses back in the simple walk, they push horses with horizontal idea with a whole riders body movement forward and horses back is disturbed then instead of feeling and following horses back with vertical an "idea" nearly doing nothing....i am sure 90 % listening here dont understand what Dover means with light seat here ....smile....my dead old trainer simply said be a horse on a horse , nearly same said Arthur Kottas-Heldenberg "think like horse and it will understand you" .....to create the fullness of beauty into a horse by dressage riding cant be done by jealousy but by loving these animals....thanks i just found the answer for jealous people and their lack of love
or around minute 3.27 .......wonderful said about "places which are breatheable"......he is an enlightend trainer ! ....not many can put the taste of riding in words like him
Allways behind the vertical. Crampy horses are the normality in Modern Dressage.
And so much hand. And he asks for more bridle and more bridle. Ugh.
Love watching you ride!!!
Wow! Do we know who the horse/rider team are? Are they competing or up and coming? Very interesting to watch!
Darkhorse3211 yes this is chase shipka riding , I went to high school with her , she actually was a young rider in eventing !
Jeezus, how close does this horse have to go to the chest with it's nose? No wonder this horse is tight and tense. This hose is in rollkur. This hurts the horse. I would go so far to call this even abuse. If I was a judge and saw this in my ring. I would totally disqualify you for abuse. Sorry but better quit riding. How many horse will you ride into the ground before realizing this is no good?
And what all for a stupid ribbon? Dressage was used to make horses stronger for war. And was a beautiful sport. Not it's just pulling heads toward chest and call it dressage. Poor horse.
Massive head behind the vertical here and MUCH too tight in the neck. As long as that's the case tight and tense can not be cured. Next to the absolutely great Charlotte Dujardin videos this crap?????
While the neck is btv, I think they are just in the training process. This is a training video and likely not the way this horse always goes--it sounds like the horse was being a bit tricky. I think this was very interesting and I'm sure this horse/rider team will continue to work on their issues.
petrairene: yes, well observed ...smile.....this student training with Dover reminds me with her lovely seat of Charlotte Dujardin
Whether training or not, the horse should not be made to go behind the vertical. He says more round but the horse can't physically round it's back properly when it's btv. Look up biomechanics, google is there for a reason.
