Thank you -I am shocked how many renown “trainers “ tell one to kick the horse . The last clinic I did the renown lady keep asking me to do this -I refused -my horse was backward because she did not trust the instruction the lady was giving me . Moved on and learned so much -my mare is much more forward now -soft on the aids because I’m doing much less and warming up (off her back ) and feeling her a lot more . We need more trainers/accomplished equestrians like you to teach us .
Please add captions for those of us that are hard of hearing or deaf , very difficult to understand at points and really want to know the knowledge you are imparting to us!
hi! not sure if this is helpful or not, but the main idea here was that to get a horse in front of the leg, they have to be willing and want to go forward, it doesn't come from excessive kicking. Lots of transitions between paces and in between paces, and going forward during these transitions. :)
... because it is a feeling thing, he said it, it's like "as if to walk, but DON'T walk" ... if you can ride downward transitions from 80% seat and max 20% reins, then you are on the way, then add a "half - go" to it and you have a half-halt.
If a horse is truly willing, why would you need to strap its mouth shut with crank or flash noseband? Take those crutches off and see what you really have.
the purpose of a flash isnt to clamp their mouth closed... its to keep the bit on the bars of the mouth and make sure that the bit cant move around in the mouth. also helps with softness and acceptance of the bit. i personally dont use flashes, but it really has to do with what equipment fits to the horses needs.
@@Dylan-ez5qx I can't agree with that, on any point. If the bit fits properly and the horse is accepting of it, the horse's mouth stays quiet and the bit will not move around. Many bits don't even act on the bars of the mouth at all. And ask yourself, how does a flash possibly "help" with softness and acceptance? By force. Maybe take the flash off, allow the horse to express its discomfort or lack of understanding (or both), then work to actually help the horse to be comfortable, soft, and understanding of the aid. If you have to force softness, it isn't softness.
@@blkgryphon many bits act on the bars, and tongue of the mouth, at lease the softer ones do. i personally do not use a flash, because there are so many ways to misuse it, and for the ottbs i ride it just simply wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. and i do see what you're saying, i'm just making the point that for some horses, a flash can be helpful. not for every horse of course, but it can. i would say though, that many times the benefits of using a flash are outweighed by the negative effects. however for a high level dressage rider and horse the purpose of the flash goes beyond clamping the mouth shut. you don't know the horse, so if i were you i wouldn't generalize.

I LOVE the way their head is so so soft yet they are still forward. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT.
at 0:25 "a horse will score best if he looks as if he wants to do it" horse turns its head towards you and is like "seriously?!"...priceless!!
This guy has so much rideability. What a great ride

I'm not a horse person but I love your technic ! I'll have a lot of questions for this rider. Thanks for posting !

I could watch this for hours. I probably will.
I love this! That is a beautiful moving horse. Great information, and well explained! Thanks :)
love the way you teach...so trying to learn this and teach my old man....
right. Steinbrecht p. 71 'desire to move the load forward'. it is THEIR thinking.
Hi! Great video. Thank you.
Beautiful 👍🏽How to teach a young horse to carry head and neck like that?
I love learning

blkgryphon no doubt still a well schooled but young horse that is listening to the rider 🤷♀️
