❤❤ OMG Not sure how I found you, but thank God I did. I am an adult Rider. I have owned many horses and had trainers come to my home for years. I’ve leased a beautiful dressage horse and a week ago I probably looked like i’ve never ridden. I watched this video carefully a few times. I practiced in the living room and TODAY my trainer was SPEECHLESS for 50 minutes! I look like a different person. The horse went beautifully ALL because of YOUR explanation of bearing down ( clearing my throat noise!) Pretending I have no lower leg and feeling my thighs…… BRILLIANT Thank You Sooo much - you may see me for an in person lesson in the near future! /s/ A Forever Fan !
I absolutely love your videos on biomechanics! Please continue sharing. Your extremely knowledgeable and you make it much easier to understand the concepts with your analogies 😆👍🏼
Wow....amazing. I'm going to watch, re-watch and watch again. I can't believe how generous you are (actually, both of you) I do hope I can find more. Wish I could pay you mega bucks but the horse takes them all !!😢
Love the grocery cart analogy,, works way better for me than thinking of my reins as bamboo canes. Really enjoy these videos, I have trained with Mary Wanless and one of her protege in the uk. I am usually exhausted at the end of your videos as a result of bearing down for the entire film! Thanks sharing
A thousand Thankyous. I have learnt so much in a very short time that my riding has greatly improved. The way you teach , your analogies and clear communication is a breathe of fresh air. Please keep the superb videos coming. Linda Clark
Great information, thank you 😊 It was good to see the rider focus on her leg and seat position, and support it all with core - I've been working on that for a year. I was taught "old" school from age 9 in group lessons with like 6 minutes attention each time. So no great habits were ever really formed. And I had never heard of a half half! I was 29 when I met a woman who became my instructor & mentor and who spent ages in the arena giving me on-the-ground explanations from scratch. And ignoramously through the years I had developed really bad habits to do with seat, leg placement, use of seat, etc. I have to constantly watch for the bad habits and correct. 🟥 To this video: The difference in the horse's trot became significant. Horse was definitely engaging more behind and shifting its weight and balance more onto the hind. May I ask why the horse was in a double bridle?
Thank you! This was great!
Stunning video and very well explained to understand movement of horse and rider thank you

Too bad so few people have discovered your excellent coaching.

Also good cameraman showing the Trainer when explaining things…
This is so helpful.
What do you mean when you say to bear down?
Wow My Benifacteur must really miss you riding him! 🙏🏼for videos

If you have the weight in the thigh 80% and 20% in the sturrup, it seems that you would be gripping the knee
