I don’t have a big fancy horse bred for Dressage, I have a 14.3hh part bred who had a foal last year. I broke her in my self she’s still understanding schooling but my dream is to have a Dressage horse, so I thought why don’t I do it my self! These videos are helping me understand so much and my pony is learning new things and taking to it so well. I watch these videos when I’m home all day and wow it does help soo much.. so well done keep making theses amazing videos with your beautiful horses.
Wow, gorgeous! I have a big bay PRE Mare who is so smart I must constantly make small changes. She’s a bit like “I’ve got this mom. I’m taking over control!” I find your videos so helpful AND quite inspirational. Would love to see a video on bringing horses along in dressage who weren’t started correctly. How to progress and what to expect in re-training.
I watched your video this morning, and tried your technique a few hours later with my 6 yo Dutch mare. I think I was able to improve her trot cadence and expression. She had fun with it and enjoyed being able to move out so thank you for sharing this. I will continue to build on what I achieved today.
Thank you for these videos that can be applied to lower levels. It really shows the progress of working the transitions within the trot. It's nice to see how her trot gets more expressive through the video as she starts to get it.
i’m currently working on a horse that hasn’t been ridden for a while due to the owners conditions, he still knows all the basics and is such a good boy but i wanna get to a point with him where i can impress his owner and show her what he’s capable of, he’s so trainable but gets disgraced bless him. this video will definitely come in handy ❤️❤️
Wow I just found your channel and I’m totally obsessed I think I binged watched almost all your videos in 24 hours. I’m so thankful that they are in English, loving the videos From all the way in Colorado USA. It’s is so helpful to watch you ride the less experienced horses so many videos they are show how to start changes or what ever movements but the horses clearly already know them inside and out. I really think you have the best videos for dressage out there. I have a few videos ideas I would love to see. Lessons I think it might be helpful to see you teach maybe more of an amateur riding, in the beginning stages of upper leave work. You guys are such incredible Riders it can be tough to imagine ever being anywhere close to as good as you lol. I would love to see a video on what you are looking for in your un started 2/3 year olds and why. I’m sure I will think of more. Thank you again for taking the time! You both are amazing and totally inspiring.. off to practice my “ big trot”
Omg!! I was literally just looking up "inspiration photos" to help me with designing my barn/indoor arena, and I totally recognize this one!! I saved literally every picture I could find lol I had an inkling it was the same barn at the very beginning, but then at 3:06, when you pass by the hanging lights I confirmed! Lol Gorgeous barn!! (Gorgeous horse, too 🙂) Heh. Small world.
I have a 11 YO Arab gelding that I have just started training in medium trot which I am having difficulty in him sitting enough and lifting the front. So I have been doing shoulder in the half halt to bigger slower trot across a short diagonal line. So looking forward to trying your technique. If you have any other suggestions that you think would be helpful since Arabs tend to not sit very well, that would be appreciated. Thanks for the lovely demonstration.
Echt heerlijk om naar te kijken en lijkt zo simpel MAAR dat is het niet. Ik heb een 6 jarige Bojengel van 1.80, hij wil graag wat groot draven en galoppeert steeds aan als ik hem kleiner wil en vanuit achter aan wil vullen. Wat te doen???
Hi Tommie and Rob! I love your videos!!They inspire me to work and solve problems, so thank you! I am working on a six-year-old horse that is a little delayed for his age. Practicing this technique the trot begins to be more expressive but, I feel that the horse is a little on its shoulders, How do you think I could improve this? Thank you!
What is the queue you use for the trot? Once in trot what queue did you use for the bigger trot? I'm at the fine tuning stage of retaining an #Ottb in dressage.I squeeze twice on the right leg to go into trot. Is that right?
Thank you for your tutorials. Very helpful..! I have a gelding who only wants to go forward.. wants to run through the hand and over react to the leg. Any suggestions?
Did you see the other videos abou transitions and the contact? That is practically how I train to make the horses wait. Fanatique is also a horse who only wants to go.... teach the horses first to wait so practice that u can put your hands forward without the horse going forward if so make a transition to walk halt en repeat 1.... x times 🤪 until he want to wait en than forward on the leg. With the legs if they over react it’s good to keep them on first until they relax. Now i am writing this you just give me a good idea for a new video.... How to use your legs. Thanks! 😎
@@Begijnhoeve_official Thank you for the reply! I took away the spur and keeping the leg on gently. This is helping. He is so reactive I have to push more slowly.. :))!
The goal is that she stay light to keep the freedom in de gates and frame. As I thought I mention in the video. When they become strong in the contact than you go back to transitions and other basic stuff to make it supple again and continue the trot after.
I watched it a few times. You did mention that she becomes lighter yes. I have a horse in training that becomes fuller in the reins, without getting heavier which, results in him having a slighter longer length of stride in the trot. Thank you for all the magnificent work. Greetings from South Africa
@@jean6006 Not sure how I got here, but I feel the need to “say” something:) You are very right, the feel in the rein should be fuller, not heavier, but because one really important part of a quality extension is a change in frame, meaning the horse stretches its frame forward. If you do not feel more of a lovely contact in the rein, something isn’t right:)
@equifino well the video isn’t about extended trot.... but you are right in extended trot the frame needs to extend. But in any case in my opinion it will look more beautiful when the horse moves on their own legs as much as possible! If u see my other video’s about the contact u will see that I do not want the horse go off the bit and also seek the hand all the time in all exercises without pulling. I just don’t like it if riders push and pull their horses into a big trot 😇
Hello! Thank you for sharing this video. I am looking at it again, and again as love it :) I think my horse , Lord Byron, is ready now for learning what you describe. My question is: can i teach him in posting trot as well? Unfortunately i felt off and had a break of 1 year (I broke my lombar vertebrae) So, i am riding since 5 months or so and my seating trot is still an open issue. I can ride easily but in posting trot. Looking froward into your kind answer when you have a bit of time. Thank you again so much!
@@Begijnhoeve_official I mean rising trot ☺️ up down up Dow 😂😂😂 can I teach him while doing rising trot ? Or can only with seating trot? Thank you so much 💫🌹😊🙏
Heyy! Ik had een vraagje dit zou aan mij kunnen liggen maar als ik iets van veruiming probeer met mijn paard dan gaat hij aleen maar harder en maakt geen grotere passen kan ik wat in deze video als probeersel toepassen of is daar ook nog iets voor
Hoi meestal is dat het paard nog onvoldoende aam het been is. Wanneer je paard leert dat het been een grotere pas betekend een daarvoor uiteraard de kracht moet ontwikkelen komt dat meestal ‘vanzelf’ geduld en tijd is het antwoord 😇
Well in the beginning I don’t mind.when I lose the control I go back to easy transitions like I did in the previous video’s. I know I wasn’t clear enough in the introduction. I did make a few video’s about how to make a nice contact an transitions etc. So that comes first before I start doing this! Good luck ☺️
@@Begijnhoeve_official omg I tried the tutorial...my horse already have good trot but I feel more powerful jump after serval trials and it was only first lesson. omg how are you doing it??? You did more for our development than my trainer (really!). Please tell me could I try the same method to make canter stride bigger? or there is another way?
Nee deze is juist enorm sensibel..... juist met de sensibele paarden belangrijk dat ze leren wat het been betekent om de rust in de beweging te krijgen! 😁

Wonderful explanation! And what a super mare
thank you for sharing - your time energy knowledge and space - this was very easy to understand and i went out and practised it.
Thanks so much for this, I realise I need my mare to be more reactive within the trot, watching this! Something to work on now 😍
She is so beautiful
🥰
Best explanation I have seen so far! Thank you so much!
Thanks 🥰
Whoooo my teacher did teach me today like this, superrr!
Exceptional!!!!! Always such an inspiring video
🙏🏻🤗
You make this so easy, so effortless. How do you keep so solid and balanced in the saddle?
She’s beautiful Tommie you make it look so easy😎tfs.
Thnx I thinks that’s what dressage is about ☺️

This helped me a lot because I have a horse that is on the forehand by X!!
Stunning!
Fantastic tips. Thank you!

Thank you for making, it's super helpful thank you
I just found your channel, outstanding video thank you for posting!!
Mega blij dat ik per toeval jullie youtube account heb gevonden!! Wat een top video, meteen geabonneerd
Wonderful video, thank you.
Zo ruige merrie! Vind dat je een heel mooi licht contact hebt, heel fijn om naar te kijken❤
Dank je wel 🥰
Heel interessant om te zien, ik ga het zeker proberen! Ik heb een 8 jarige Furioso-Northstar ruin die net wat meer zijn voeten op mag tillen
Very helpful thank you
Very nice & educative video
Love this. Really helped me with my horse.
😎
Ze loopt echt prachtig!❤️
Dank je 🥰
Love this!
Wat laat je het er super simpel uitzien, zoals het hoort bij dressuur. Geweldig, helemaal fan😍
Dank je wel 😁. Ik doe mijn best 😅
Super interessant en zo leuk om te zien hoe goed ze reageert en hoe enthousiast ze er zelf van wordt 🤩🤗
Dank je wel ☺️
Heel informatief! Dank je
Very helpful 👍
Very helpful! Thank you! Will try it tomorrow)

Herzlichen Dank für die Wertvollen Anleitungen…ich bin gespannt ob es mit dem Umsetzen klappt 🦄
Did I get it right that you give your Hand in the downwards and the upwards Transition?
Wauw wat een gave merrie is dit, wat een beweging en kracht al. Dat beloofd wat zeg 😍
Dank je ja ik ben ook fan van haar 🥰
Great video. Very helpful🤩
Thanks! ☺️
Great video. When you say give leg what part of your leg are you using most? Thigh, knee, calf?
The calf part 😎
@@Begijnhoeve_official Thanks!
Can't wait to try this.
I don’t have a horse but I just finished the movie Django and wanted to see how they taught his horse to trot like this.
Thank you so much your explanations are very clear and so useful i shall follow you
Dominque Cortese
Thanks 😁
Super video, dank je wel!
Jij ook dank voor je reactie 😁
Can you do a video on how to teach abd get medium trot without the horse just going faster and falling on the forehand please ? 💞
👍🏻👍🏻
What exactly your hands and fingers did when you said “soft my hand “ and “open my hand” ?
Love your channel, really helpful
Like when u squeeze a soft ball so u can squeeze and u can relax that’s when I open my hand.
What is the rein aid you are doing to bring her back?????
Soo Beautiful ❤️🙌
Thanks 😊
Super gaaf💪🏻😍

So slow down is open hands(wait)?

How do you Make them raise their legs higher? Please show the writing in the vídeo, I AM Spanish native speaker.
When you ask her to lengthen the stride. What is the ideal feeling in the reins? Is it becoming lighter or slightly fuller in the reins?
The goal is that she stay light to keep the freedom in de gates and frame. As I thought I mention in the video. When they become strong in the contact than you go back to transitions and other basic stuff to make it supple again and continue the trot after.

👍
Will this method work for old showjumpers aswell that are now dressage horses?
Sure !
Kun je dit toepassen bij ponies?
Ja hoor ik ken pony’s die heel mooi kunnen draven 🤠
Heyy! Ik had een vraagje dit zou aan mij kunnen liggen maar als ik iets van veruiming probeer met mijn paard dan gaat hij aleen maar harder en maakt geen grotere passen kan ik wat in deze video als probeersel toepassen of is daar ook nog iets voor
Hoi meestal is dat het paard nog onvoldoende aam het been is. Wanneer je paard leert dat het been een grotere pas betekend een daarvoor uiteraard de kracht moet ontwikkelen komt dat meestal ‘vanzelf’ geduld en tijd is het antwoord 😇
Do you use a training system per se?
Ofcourse there are some basic principles but we think it’s important to see what the horse needs for the moment….
Should l be worried about head position? When I give leg the horse pushes with the legs but also lifts his head up.
Well in the beginning I don’t mind.when I lose the control I go back to easy transitions like I did in the previous video’s. I know I wasn’t clear enough in the introduction.

P.s me and my horse like your "braaff" *)))) in Russian is the same *))) Braaavo ))))) so I use your version ))))
Ik kan me voorstellen dat voor een minder sensibel/heet paard de aanpak wellicht iets anders is?
Nee deze is juist enorm sensibel..... juist met de sensibele paarden belangrijk dat ze leren wat het been betekent om de rust in de beweging te krijgen! 😁
Ja dat is duidelijk te zien! Ik bedoel juist met een minder sensibel paard 😊
Ow ik las verkeer 🤣. Nee denk ook zeker met een minder sensible is het van groot belang dat je paard aan het been is 😇
Denk je dat ieder paard je dit kan leren?
Ja ik denk dat vrijwel elk paard de draf kan verbeteren. Vaak als ze het los kunnen moet het onder t zadel met goede training ook lukken! 💪🏻
Gave merrie en leerzame video
Dank je 🤗
“Braaahahaaaaa” lol good but his expressions sound like a german sheep lol
Meaning what? 💁🏻♂️
Why is the horse's mouth so foamy? (I know very little about horses.)
That means she is chewing on the bit and accepting it. Its a good sign
English, english, more information in english... all of a sudden 'Braaaafff!' 🤯 Where did the English go? 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes true but everyone understand the reward sound lol
The horse is probably not bilingual. 😂 Mine is, she knows French and English lol
Echt zo blij dat jullie dit doen. Echt heel erg leerzaam. Dank 😊
🤗🤗
