An Equestrian goes looking for an animal who has potential to improve talents that are already there in most horses--agility, patience, heart, curiosity and intelligence.
Agility, to do some "man, humans are WEIRD" stuff
Patience, to do them over and over
Heart, to play this odd game even when they're having a "Bad Hair Day"
Curiosity, an eagerness to find out "what comes next?"
Intelligence, which brings them the sure knowledge of "Hey, I got it RIGHT!"
Fluffy-Headed folk BEWARE! Here are a few simple truths, and you won't like them!
Horses in the "Wild" live about 10 years. IF they survive their first winter.
#1 Cause of Death is winter starvation
"Wild" horses are actually feral [Look it up].
They have all the interspecies sociality of a 1200 lb Feral Hog . . . thus no 12-year old virgin girls should be anywhere NEAR the Pwetty ponies until the Pwetty Ponies have been taught some manners.
This process does NOT involve fields of wildflowers
I am continually amazed by the number of fluffy-headed folk I encounter who believe that horses should only be ridden by 12-year old virgin girls, without nasty saddles, or icky bridles--they should romp unencumbered by awkward reality thru heavenly fields of edible [by the horse] wildflowers . . . the child, presumably, brought a lunch? Tho if she were TRUELY a horse lover, she would be willing to starve, rather than corrupt her horsie with the smell of something as unNATURAL as peanut butter
I love this horse. I have to disagree with those people who say that she is not relaxed and happy. If you have been around horses at all, that it is obvious that this horse loves her job, and is relaxed and happy.
@KiraVigue I agree with you. the ears of the horse show its relaxation ... and if this horse was not ok, the rider would be on the ground ^^ (i'm not fluent in english, and i hate it --' so excuse me for my mistakes)
this horse loves dressage- u can tell by hte loose flexible spine posture , ears forward and flopping around- I've rarely seen a horse that relaxed- there's nothing bad about this
What people seem to forget when slagging them off, is that this is training, not performing. Maybe he's giving extra strong signals on the warmup to prepare the horse. Cause he doesn't lean back when performing. Also, the swishing of the tail can be just to stay in balance. Becides, if she's so angry, why are her ears pointing forward?
I totally agree with you! and I bet everyone here, including me, would be more than happy if he/she could ride like this and could make a horse move like this!
Thanks, now that we agree to disagree, in training the trainer must teach the horse to perform the moves as classically taught by the masters. Now, the if what you say is correct, this horse should be doing most of the work without aids. One or two ads good to move forward and be happy.....I think too many aids here -- although a very difficult move yes, but still the horse should be happy to give piaffe and passage without much of a push.
"It's you job to make it easy for the horse." Well, classically speaking, the horse is suppose to make it easy for the rider -- hence good basic training i.e. the horse to carry the rider. Therefore, we must agree to disagree here. If the rider is carriing the horse -- not dressage. If the horse is carring the rider correctly -- slowly, through the back and happy -- all is good in the dressage world.
We praise those that are in the arena -- this horse is not happy -- swishing tail. Obedient yes and being pushed. This horse isn't light in hand nor is this horse completely through the back. Sorry not my idea of dressage. Too fast and too much leg (spur). Spurs are enhancers.
I beg to differ,. There's a difference in training and showing.You really do sometimes want to add your weight to the hind leg, where the horse's weight should be. Does it make sense to lean forward--think about it!) The feeling you get after Rudolf has been on is the horse asking: "what can I do for you?"
The recommendation Rudolf gives most often is "It is YOUR job to make it easy for the horse!"
We praise those that are in the arena -- this horse is not happy -- swishing tail. This horse isn't light in hand nor is this horse completely through the back. Sorry not my idea of dressage. Too fast and too much hand and leg.
I think the thing is that Andreas is leaning back, which makes it more difficult for a horse to passage and piaffe. When training a horse for either movement you have to teach it to be balanced with the rider, and if you lean back it throws off that balance, which explains why she's working so hard
Continuing on the spur thing... I don't know if it's just me... but I do wear spurs but I don't use them unless I absolutely HAVE to. I like a horse that is responsive off of the slightest touch. It is also much prettier to watch. No tail swishing (ok maybe at times!) And my legs are quite. Is it really that hard to ride the GP movements w/o constantly spurring? I've ridden the piaffe as well as the passage and found that I did not need to spur the horse this much..
I think Matine's problem is she is not built really for dressage. In some of the trot videos of her, she looks a tad down hill. She has a large front end as well. Which in turn, makes it much more difficult on her. She also appears to have a thick throat latch. Granted, she is a very gorgeous horse. She works super hard. The main problem I've noticed with (not just this rider) GP riders is that they rely on their damn spurs SO much. I mean, just watch the riders legs.
Looks pretty good from I'm sitting, she's carrying herself well, he's light in his hands and with his aids, her steps are even and rhythmic and she doesn't creep forward in the piaffe.
Yes! beautiful movment and everything is perfect for her, but Its either she finds dressage incredably difficult, or the ride is spurring her way to hard.
voice commands are generally not accepted at any level, however judges will sometime let you off the hook if it's just a schooling show or something. Usually you are penalised if you talk at all during the test though.
well the purpose of dressage it to eventually reach the point where it all looks effortless and as though the rider is not doing anything. If one is talking throughout the test, clearly that would disrupt such an image. I guess at this level, voice commands shouldn't really be necessary as the horse should know all the movements already and be prepared well enough to perform them properly if the rider uses his/her seat, leg and rein aids effectively.
there caller over reaching boots or bell boots my horse has 2 where them in dressage training and jumping coz when my horse jumps he clips his feet some times and my filly sometimes clips hers in extended trot
