This is a beautiful. I'm working on teaching my horse the Jambette, of course it is at the very beginning stages. It's amazing how much they enjoy this type of play.
Magnifique travail. On ne peux obliger un cheval a faire ce qu'il ne veux pas. Il faut une confiance profonde entre le cheval et le cavalier pour obtenir ceci.

Wonderful work. We can not force a horse to do what he does not want. It requires a deep trust between horse and rider to achieve this.
James Fillis was the first to submit a gallop on three legs and a galloping backwards.
this is soo unatural and unfair on this poor horse, i can imagine him enjoying it!! i would love to see a horse do any dressage movements in a field, when they are relaxing!! they jump and leap around, but they dont do this. i mean. WTF, how is this even entertaining, it doesn;t look good at all!!!
@TheHorseLady1212 hahahaha how good :L i mean they would do little leg flngs but nothing like this.. this is extreme and i would not pay to see this, its not entertaining.
Your horse is so incredibly talented. If my horses had even 1/8 of this horses interest and impulsion, I would be a much more complacent owner. But alas, quarter horse mares are - so it seems - destined to forever eat, shun, and eat again. ;-)
Hi friends, first - I like this vid and the others in this serie. Mind . I do natural and don`t use a briddle. Now, my experience, my horses (7) live in the pastures, come running to me when I get there, and I don`t give them treats; I only caress them. They love to show "collection" not only in mating season, but when I ride them they avoid "collection" ! That`s because I am not a very good rider. I have not seen how these horses where trained. I`ll try to get closer to this naturally. -Klaus
This is something completely different!On the pasture make horses the voluntarily,without riders on the backs or hard rods in mouth,with which it even the the jaws of a horse can break!
Let your head bind on your chest and win a sports contest,then we talking more!-.-
Erm. You realize that the horse's head isn't bound to his chest? It's the position for proper collection, horses do it naturally and collection doesn't come from hard contact, it comes from LIGHT, steady contact. Hard contact would ruin collection. Learn a thing or two... the head isn't there to make him look pretty.
The horse, schooled at this level, does NOT require pressure from the reins to maintain its head set, it postures itself that way because of habbit (called "SELF CARIAGE") and the bit is not a source of constant pressure... the horse carries itself. This is not a "sports contest" either, this movement is not recognized in the sportive aspect of Dressage, thus it would be penalized in competition.
The horse is NOT bound, his posture is the result of a lifetime of training, it is habbit.
@Rimfaxe96 Well, as a former professional contortionist (body bender) and rhythmic gymnast I can say I HAVE done sports with my own body in "unnatural" shapes and possitions, so I do know a thing or two about bodies in extreme shapes.
However this horse is NOT doing anything like that. The bit is not being tugged at, this horse has a very soft mouth, and the horse actually ENJOYS his saddle time. To each their own opinion
Horses actually do this in play and in display when they show off to one another. It is a NATURAL movement for the stallion... have you ever seen horses mating behavior? when they touch noses and then there is all the squealing and striking... it is this same behavior, it is the striking/pawing behavior... only it is done in a controlled and focused way.
It is NOT terrible for the horse, when taught this movement properly, the horse actually enjoys it so much the like to do it on their own!
How boring and tedious would it be to ONLY exercise of training and conditioning for a goal that is never deviated from, and to never PLAY or even think outside of the box?
I dont need to ask JD how well the horse enjoys it, Ive taught it to enough horses and seen them do it on their own to know its a game they usually rather enjoy, and look how freely and effortlessly he performs it (it is the same grey horse in all the videos)
what training do these horses go through to learn high school movements? are they fully matured horses ?
I was just asking out of curiosity, I have a Welsh D who is not very talented but i struggle to keep his attention and training him to do basic tricks. of course i keep it fun, he is 8 - but i cant even get him to carrot bow :S!!! any tips?
Traditionally, they have basic schooling before they are asked to explore the higher arts, usually begining arround 5 or 6 years of age, at which poing their bodies and minds are usually developed fully enough to be considered mature animals.
basic "enrichment" training to teach him to pay attention to you would be the first step for your Welshie, establishing clicker training and having him learn to touch his nose to a target (your palm works fine for this) to recieve a treat is a start
After he gets that touching his nose to the "target" will get him a treat, and eagerly tries it, start to move the target arround, High, low, to the left, or right, eventually it becomes a fun game for him and he learns to pay attention to you and your direction, and when he does what is asked it gets him a treat. (over the course of time however, you should try to make him work harder and harder for the treats, and the praise should replace them as a reward) it helps to engadge the mind
by that note, is ANYTHING really necessary? Is ridng horses really necessary AT ALL anylonger?
I am of the opinion that ART and DANCE are necessary, and this qualifies as BOTH. :) but then again Art is subjective, and we are all entitled to our own opinions. But I think creativity and PLAY are both required for FUN and JOY to exist in our lives. It cant ALL be just accademic cold-hard-math!
His wife watches me and has posted a recent video of him with a new horse named "touch dream" so he is easily contactable here at Youtube.
As for horses enjoying it, most horses love performing Jambette once they learn it and often offer it on their own. It is a natural dominance/Play/agression behavior, meaning horses have to get very full of themselves to throw it out there, in fact when my prizedd mare doesnt want to do something, she offers this instead (because she loves it),
Although I should clarify she does Jambette at stand, walk and trot, she has never been asked for it at the canter, and never at every stride, but I can see her trying it once or twice. I've seen an Arbian stallion who loved to Jambette the canter for fun at liberty, but his leg came back to the ground between each stride.All the same, People get very caught up in the accademic part of riding that they forget to ENJOY themselves and PLAY, explore new things, perhaps even just to see if they can.
It could be possible that they severed the nerve endings at the base of the horses tail (a slightly common practice) so it physically cannot move it's tail.
I don't know if I'd call that horse relaxed, but he doesn't look in pain.
I think he's concentrating, what is being asked of him is unusal and requires alot of focus and physical effort. Alot of people also get very focused when they do activities that they enjoy... and despite the fact that it does not LOOK like they are having a great time, they wouldnt want to be doing anything else. Im not saying this horse lives for this one singular movement, but I think he enjoys his job and is extremely good at it
By that logic, then what is the purpose of ANY of it at all? Why even ride them? Why teach them anything? It is not about ego, sometimes its about seeing if it can be done.
The Jambette (leg raising) is done in play, and this is a play behavior for a horse taught to it in a controlled manner. Many horses perform like this without a rider, so why not teach them to do it under one? The ego is a natural part of the mind, but that is not what is being placated to here.
You first teach the Jambette (like teaching a dog to "Shake hands", and once a horse learns it, they often do it just for fun all on their own) then you teach it at the walk, and then trot... it is very rare to see it done at the canter in a controlled manner (when they get frisky they will, but that can get dangerous) basically once they learn the command for Jambette, you can ask for it at any time. It is a matter of clarity of your aids and how confident the horse is.
Why do people bother learning Ballet? or dancing in general? Many horses enjoy the Jambette exercise (the basic component of this movement) to the point where they do it on their own just for fun. All that is being done here is asking the horse to do a movement natural to it, that they usually enjoy, DURING a movement.
Look at gymnasts, they do not always smile, they usually have intense expressions, and yet they ALSO enjoy doing challenging things with their bodies.
Please take note of two things here: RHYTHM and the horse's ears. The horse moves in constant rhythm... a horse in pain never does! the Ears are loose and slightly forward, indicating anticipation and alertness... they are not pinned back against the neck as a horse in discomfort does. Infact based on bodylanguage alone it looks like the horse is excited and enjoying itself.
All animals love to play games, and clearly this one thinks of this one as such.
'this is not a natural thing for them to do.' NEITHER IS RIDING. Who says walking/trotting/cantering is okay? You? You think that's natural, for a horse to be ridden? I forgot when you were the authority when deciding what was natural and 'okay' for a horse, and what wasn't.
This horse isn't in pain. Go take a look at Big Lick horses, or Rollkur--THAT'S what you should be complaining about.
Alright genius, so horses are gelded in the wild as well? Or shod. Or get their teeth floated? Or put bits in their mouths? All of these are at least remotely uncomfortable but I bet you do them all. So shut up and enjoy the harmony of horse and rider in its unatural state.
I Would Ride With No Saddle But My Pony Doesnt Like It.
He Loves Jumping And He Loves Being Ridden, It Certainly Isnt Natural For A Rider To Sit On His Back, But He Enjoys.
It Aint Natural For Us To Where Make-Up, But We Do It Anyway. And Theres Not Much Harm In That. (Except Animal Testing But We'll Stay Away From That) And It Looks Like The Horse Enjoyed That, Why Stop Them From Enjoying Themselves? We Like To Enjoy Ourselves, They Are No Different.
A Horse Does That Naturally When He Has A Sore Leg And Doesnt Want To Put Any Weight On It. My horse Was Doing That While Cantering In The Paddock While He Was Lame. I Was Only Trying To Catch Him And He Cantered Off Like That xD
The Jambette (a raised and extended front leg) is cued from the saddle with the rein, by a slight tensioning and then releasing of presure. It can become abuse, but it is NOT in this case! The horse is being asked to do something VERY tricky and precise here, the tension IS released and it is not abusive... it is simply communicating to the horse what is desired and the horse complies freely and easily (showing no resistence, only concentration!)
Am i the only one who thinks we are seeing a true heir to Nuno Oliveira?... I read and dreamt about movements like this. My true regards and compliments to the man who proved me wrong when i believed that all had gone with the passing away of the great maestro...
Thank you Empresslllyria,you might know he would have to be so far away,but what a pleasure to see such a masterful combination of horsemanship!Much can be learned just through observation..
This is true, and in fact is probably the best way to describe how these "lost arts" are likely to be continued into the future.
However, it must also be said of a MASTER of the art such as this; No matter how much we can learn from watching the "finnished product" and working backward from there to break it down into basic components for our own knowledge, it still is not as good as acquiring instruction in the "behind the scenes" from a master of the art such as this.
I hope to be able to meet him if I ever make it to Portugal. The first person I have seen who has demonstrated mastery of the Lost Airs. Many of whom were Invented/Described by Francois Baucher and James Fillis.
EXACTLY! Its a spectacular display that you almost never see done, let alone done WELL anylonger. THIS is what was intended when they described them as the "ART" of working with horses.
This is a beautiful. I'm working on teaching my horse the Jambette, of course it is at the very beginning stages. It's amazing how much they enjoy this type of play.

However, it must also be said of a MASTER of the art such as this; No matter how much we can learn from watching the "finnished product" and working backward from there to break it down into basic components for our own knowledge, it still is not as good as acquiring instruction in the "behind the scenes" from a master of the art such as this.
