SABLE’S STORY, The ‘Hot-Cold’ Horse (5) Introduction To Lungeing With Bridle And Surcingle
ฝัง

- In this video of my ‘Sable’s Story’ series, Sable and I will show you how using a bridle and a surcingle while working on the lunge line is a logical next step as we are aiming to have less stressful, more peaceful interactions on the ground and under saddle. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to break things down into smaller (re-)educational steps for Sable and horse like her as we’re moving toward a more relaxed and easy-going working relationship.
In this context, the following questions will be addressed in this video:
1. Why is it important that I let my horse move in a relaxed, regular rhythm in all three gaits as we’re continuing our work on the lunge line?
2. What do I need to keep in mind when watching my horse’s hind feet track up to the foot prints of her/his front feet?
3. How can I establish my leadership position with my horse on the lunge line in a kind, understandable and effective way?

California-based Dressage trainer, instructor, clinician and life coach, Katja Elk, provides gentle training solutions for riders and horses of all backgrounds.
“Being a kind rider and trainer, to me, means learning how to ride with reasonable expectations according to where we find ourselves and our horses on our developmental journey. It also means that we need to continue to refine our technical riding skills so we can support our horses with more finely tuned aids as we are moving more joyfully and more in sync with one another.”
“Over the course of my life, I have been fortunate enough to learn from many amazing human and equine teachers. In my videos, I share tips and pointers with people interested in expanding their knowledge about foundational Dressage and different types of groundwork. You will see me work with my clients’ horses of various breeds, levels and backgrounds, highlighting parts of the journey we call work/play-in-progress with our equine partners. None of the shown clips are flawless. In fact, they all show the many imperfections an active, aging rider faces who entered the professional field as an instructor/trainer later in life and who keeps on striving to show that Dressage can be an activity we all can enjoy with our horses at most stages of our lives and at varying levels of expertise. The videos are honest, heartfelt attempts to show you ways to nurture a kind, joyful and productive relationship with your horses as you are exploring and expanding on the many facets of Dressage and groundwork.”
Katja applies the concept of a friendly, trust-based, two-way communication system to riding Dressage, work-in-hand as well as groundwork such as halter-work, longeing/lungeing and longlining.
Additionally, Katja, a Martha Beck certified master life coach, works with people who are looking for relief from anxiety, depression and/or other challenges in their lives.

Sable looked like she enjoyed herself. Well done.
Thank you so much for noticing Sable's joyfulness during our session here! She really likes the open, two-way interactions. So nice to know you're watching! :)
Coming along nicely -good choice to go without side reins
Thank you so much for acknowledging Sable's work without the side reins at this stage. It's an ongoing conversation about what may make sense on each given day. :)
Lovely to see her coming along so nicely.
Thank you so much, Jayne! Coming from you who knows the complicated background of this lovely mare it means a lot. :)
