I've watched this lesson a few times now and every time I'm just so struck by the bravery this rider had to actually be filmed, and then allow said film to be put onto the INTERNET for all to see. Learning in front of a few people is hard, let alone potentially thousands. Thank you so much Ashy!! You'd did such an amazing job and I've so loved watching the lessons you've shared with us 💖 There is so much to be learned in these 30 mins it's just 🤯
I absolutely love your training video’s!! They’re pretty easy to understand, follow, and remember so I can easily try on my horse when I get to the ranch. I actually ride primarily western and barrels, however, I can see the importance of good horsemanship no matter what discipline. I actually am really starting to love the dressage.
@@thedressageinstitute 1 of the horses I ride is a 3 year old who doesn’t like to move most of the time but when he goes he is very eager to please & wants to give you his best. On Saturday I focused on keeping my head up and not crunching in my core but staying tall and following him with my hips. It’s felt so much better. It went from a bumpy trot to a smooth trot. Thank you for the knowledge. It’s been very helpful for my riding as I’m coming up on 2 years riding this June. 🤍🤍
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that the advice was helpful to you and that you were able to improve your riding. Keep up the good work, and happy riding!
I think this is the first video of yours I watched after stumbling across your channel. I have to say at first I was like what is this woman doing using her Grand Prix horse as a school horse! I thought here we go another crazy dressage woman! I still think you’re a little crazy but after watching more videos I can really appreciate what you’re doing! You have such nice horses! I think this is amazing! Most people would never get the opportunity to experience riding these high level horses! What a treat! I live in the states but I’d jump on a plane in a New York minute to ride one of these horses! Im even getting use to your squealing and over the top enthusiasm! Hahaha… sorry couldn’t resist!
I love this sort of question question, because this just highlights the 'holes' in the current education system in terms of learning how to ride dressage. When you are learning how to ride dressage in a traditional format, as you saw in this video, the coach is doing their best, striving how to articulate what a rider needs to do, but actually you can't fit enough words into a sentence to explain to a rider what to do. In this case, this rider didn't particularly know what was meant by 'rounder'. So now, from this, we have managed to put her into a seminar, and educate her in the theory on what rounder means and what you can do to make the horse rounder and she has thrived! For this question, make them 'rounder' means create an open door by making the shoulder more upright i.e. 'upright straightness' which gives access to the backbone to become one solid piece. Little bit lost still? I'm sure you are because there are a lot of people out in the industry that are! What you need is theory. What you need is to understand this from a theoretical level. What I want to do is give you free access to a live seminar I have coming up which you can register for by clicking here: www.yourridingsuccess.com/dressage-seminar - we look forward to seeing you there!

Hi, you instructed the rider to “tap once
make him rounder, look where you’re going.” What is the rider doing to make him rounder?
