You get closer to levade from your piaffe work, because you are asking him to bring his hind end under him and crouch more and more, becoming engaged and collected. Here, he starts to use his hind end, but then you drive his head up when he should be lowering it in collection. You should think about driving him into a wall and stopping the front end (an imaginary wall -- pressure on his chest or nose), while asking the hind end to come even more forward and under him. I hope that made sense!
@Marixxen2 Thanks! We are getting closer and closer to a real levade! Little by little, as he grows stronger in the piaffe, he gets close. To get a true levade requires a horse with tons of strength! There aren't any short cuts to a true levade. Some horses rear's are more controlled and some look like Jackson's. :) The first thing I would tell you is teach your horse to sit on some hay bales. Check out my two videos of teaching it. PM for more info!
Really, it looks more like you're on your way to a levade if you get some more control of the frontlegs when you've got the hindquarters. =) btw, you look like you really know what you're doing ;) so i'm hoping for some help here. Because i wanna teach my horse the levade, and not a wild rear. there for i have to teach him to put his hindquartes under him, en then rais his frenleg slightly. could you help me??? how did you do it? Beacuse iæm stuck at making him....
@unicorndream You are probably right! He doesn't know how to do the piaffe or I would work on it from that. That is how I have seen them do it in the SRS (spanish riding school). Thanks!
i wish i could teach my horse to rear but my trainer wont let me

maybe youd best do it from piaffe (if you can??) becuase it looks as if he's finding it hard to gather his strength from halt.
