Cause the guy really KNOWS how to ride and develop a horse! Don't think thats a "secret"!! And don't think "you" have any any 'fabulous" breakthru since many many other riders and trainers are able to accomplish this as well.
@shawneeAcres I got this new idea for my riding, and I thought I would like to share it with others, it was pretty breakthrough for me at the time. Im not trying to push anything on you, it was just my opinion and Im not trying to undermine phillip duttons talent because he is the best eventer I know. Thanks anyway. Goodbye.
This looks to be a really good video series! I don't ride (took me 20+ years to figure out that I'm not cut out for it), but the videos are enjoyable to watch! =)
I agree with the rest of it and can't wait to see the rest of the videos, but part of the reason his horses are so soft, scopey, fast, and responsive is because they're top-level competition horses that are bred to be just that... it's not very fair to expect a horse that's not at that level or pedigree to be performing as well as his. But I like the idea and thank you for sharing it with us :)
yaaa defff agree with youu :) :) You are very right, you are deff gonna need more than this to get you to rolexx. On the issue of maximizing the horse you are ridings potential and allowing it to move his best (and your position, etc etc)- this technique reeealllly is awesomeee! BTW you are a great rider! I checked out your videos- they are great! Do you event with your horse?
haha yeah :P and i understand it now, it's more about getting to the horse's max potential instead of rolex... haha. and my position needs a ton of work so if you have tips YAY haha
and thank you! my horse saves my butt too many times... i don't event with him though, my area there's only hunter/jumper
@ponyJackson - Just to add to everything she said, the performance you see on course, in the dressage ring or whatever is general training by classical principles..and the rider either aids or inhibits the horse's way of going. Excellent vids, I will keep watching.
i know how he does this years of practice and dedication he has great posture and great postion and horses because they have been trained hard and strong thats why
@hobbzrulz159 Yea my fall was really bad! but im switching accounts right now!!!! so ill email my mom for them! and also, tbs are my fave. i mainly own warmbloods. but i ride thoroughhbreds best, cuz theyre skinny and long legged, as well as i!
Okay I would love to see them! :) And oh no what was the fall like :( ? Ya thoroughbreds are great, they are so atheletic and powerful, and warmbloods have beautiful movement!
the knees are key. i only use my knees and thighs when riding. and i wear spurs so when needed i give the xtra little push! lol! its really no secret! any good rider knows that knees are key!
yeahhh, its alittle more than just steering with the knees, its an energy that comes with the knees that allows for an independent seat. I really gotta get this series out so people will understand the technique. I do hope you watch the series, try it out, then maybe give your opinion :) thank you!
@hobbzrulz159 yea i dont steer with my knees. you steer with your lower leg and outside hand to balance. your knee is to keep yourself stable and to take the shock. ill try it, but i also jump grand prix, so i already have a system going. but ill let you know how it goes!
oh nice nice, yeah once the video comes out it will make more sense, but this flowing energy forward with the knees and relaxed loose thigh and not falling out hips, with the lower leg on and encouraging his movement lofty and bouncy- it really helps him with jumping and flatting etc, etc. And thank you for tuning into the series- I hope that you can get somethun helpful out of it :) And congratulations for...
... (part 2) doing grand prix- how high are the jumps for u? That must take so much time and dedication. Do you have any riding techniques that help you out? I would love to hear a new perspective on a great way to ride :)
@hobbzrulz159 thanks, my schooling jumps get around 5 foot or 5'3. showing is like 4'9. just because ive had a really bad fall recently that shattered my confidence and have set me back! but for me its just breathing, hold steady, focus and RIDE HARD!(not in a weird way!) ive also been taught to also approach the jump and have a mind set of PUSHING over the jumping. but i have a death grip leg, so im very leggy and hardly no hand, just balancing with my outside leg... if you want to know more,
@hobbzrulz159 im trying to upload my high jumper vids, but im making a new account now (this is my little sisters account and shes a breyer freak!) so yea, ill respond under this!
It looks interesting, but I too don't think it's the knees... if you grip with your knees, you tighten up, which sends signals to your horse making you both tense.
I think it's LOTS of money, AMAZING trainers and TOP CLASS
I totally agree that it is not gripping with the knees :)! This whole techniqu is to allow the knees to relax, and not pinch, and have this positive knda energy that allows them to relax forward and keep your lower leg strong without inhibiting his motion or like drivin (in a sense- forward), its about allowing you to stay on TOP of his motion, and it really seems to optimise his movement. I would really love you to watch the series, maybe try it out, then maybe tell me how you think it works?
I really think it might be a tool to help you and your horse :) I do agree money, trainers do add a GREAT deal of advantage. But technique wise, this technique I discovered REAALLLLY helps with is movement, his jump, my position, my staying with his motion, he doesnt have a painful back anymore, he doesnt rush the fencees anymore, sooo many etceteraass. I am sorry for the large rant :) I just wanted to make it clearer :) I would really love you to tune into the series and give your opinon :)
@hobbzrulz159. Sorry i misunderstood about the whole knee thing! I tend to do that in my lessons anyway, my mare being part TB is 'hot' as people say, I have stay very quiet in the seat and keep relaxed, whilst putting slight pressure to bring her hindquarters under herself more. I will definetly watch the series. It sounds like a great idea - but It won't make everyone amazing - you DO need the money and the right horse. However, for others like me, it can help us at small, unaffiliated events!
oo cool cool :) Ya I guess this technique really is just a good image to help towards a more independent seat, and it just really allows you horse to jump his best. I guess it just improves the horse you have to his best ability, if you have a better horse, better abiility! I am very glad that you will watch the series, and hopefully tell me how it works for you :) It will help almost anybody though, it is just a really help the base...
dont agree. Yes, part of it is in the knees. By softening the knee, you will let the lower leg soften forward. BUT to let your horse jump freely, its more in the hands and upper body. If the whole secret were just the knees, then everyone in the world would be world champions by now!?
I had big problms with my knees last yr (the cartilige was screwd up), but it nevr rly affected my riding that much. Im on the GB Junior eventing training list, so Ive been trained by the best- food for thought.
Wow! Congratulations for being on that team! That must be really exciting :) :) Thank you for your opinon. It is actually interesting to get the european view, since I find that the riding style of GB vs US has differences (actually the horses go and jump alot better in your place!). Yes i agree, softening of the knees and allowing them to ....
soften forward helps. I have found that this forward energy of the knees when you are approaching the jump, and all the time REAALLLLY helps with is movement, the power and softness and scopiness and quality of his jump, my position, my staying with his motion, he doesnt have a painful back anymore, he doesnt rush the fencees anymore, sooo many etceteraass. I have actually found that the approach to the jump with this soft energy in the knees really amazingly improves his jump! He jumps.....
at any distance easily, with power! rocks back and uses himself to the short distances, and has a wooonderful scopey powerful arc over the long distances- its amazing. I am sorry for the long rant :) It just has reeeaaallly helped his way of going and his back, soo many others. I would reaaly love you though to watch the upcoming series- and maybe try it out for yourself, and then give your opinion? It really is just sooo cool, it is a way I have never thought about independence before, and...
it has done wonders for his technique and my technique! I am very sorry for like the 5 message boxes, and thank you very much if you read them all, I would reeeally love you to try out the technique in the upcoming series- and see how it works for you and your horse, and then comment your opinion :) have a great great day, thank you for reading my rantt, and another congrats for the team! :)
Been thinking bout this one. We always train horses, that its the riders responsibility to get to the jump, then its up to the horse. As long as they have the freedom to move, you shouldnt have to do do anything as you're more likely to just unbalance them. I also believe that strong basic flatwork is essential otherwise they go flat and hollow. We tend to train the horse more than the rider at high levels. (Although rider is still put under scrutiny). We use more gridwork nd turning exercises..
to teach the horses to sort it themselves. Yes there will always be a part of it, that will be the rider. But any average rider could get on a top class horse and do well at a middle level. But a top level rider is not gonna b able to do magic on a horse that hasnt been trained properly and doesnt know the basics... Agree.. or have I totally confused you?!
Heyy again, yeaa that makes sense what you are talking about. I agree with you that it isss definitly up to the horse to think about its own feet and jump itself. This technique I think is to really just stay centerered and out of your horses way to allow him to go his best (movement, and jump wise). It depends, but I think that a good rider can take a bad horse in a few days (given the rider has a very allowing position and independent way of riding), and it can allow...
...the horse to get alot better alot quicker than someone who got in the horses and wasnt soft, effective, and centered. I do agree working with the horse is the way to really help more to improve, but the rider adds a key base to how well the horse is going to go. This technique allows the horse to go his best because it combines balance, relaxation, and encouragement of the horse all in a really effective simple way.
Yess it sounds like that, but all the things that the way you ride improves? I would say it is a preetty huuuge key to riding, and a simple, effective ttechnique to improve all these very important, major concepts:
1.)allowing your horse to engage himself and bend his hocks in a powerful, lofty way
2.)allowing your horse to use himself up and down hills, so you do not have to support him at all (which is bad for your partnership anyway, you are there to communicate, not balance him)
okkk it may be the 'secret' for you, but everyone will be bad at different things. So I know that my lower leg goes a bit spazz if Im riding a horse with a big movement (basically my cartilige was buggered, but had operation 5wks ago and hopefully sorted). But everyone will have 1 secret that they know is very important to riding their horse. You have to ride the horse thats under you, not just decide one day that Im going to work on X.
Right, you have to ride the horse that is under you each day. but some people think things are the horses fault (I am not saying you, just some people in general) and they dont realize that they are actually in the way of their horse, or not encouraging them correctly. Once they use this technique, it will work with any horse, not just my horse, then the horse will be able to move freely and balanced and all that stuff. The reason I am calling it a secret key is becauuse ....
it is just one simple thing that improves so many things with any horse. Obviously it isnt going to make them phillip duttons- but it is a huge step on their way. I argue that as long as you have this independent seat down then all other things are secondary- as in this is a wonderful base. the reason that your lower leg might go a bit spazz is because the distribution of...
...your balance and where you absorb your shock is in your heels and your upper thigh and seat. If you absorb the shock in your knee, then your lower leg will be able to be calm and independent and you will be able to apply your heel area (and your calf will just rest there) to your horses side quietly, effectily, and it wont be moving around as it would before. You absorb the shock in your knee through this tecqnique of positive energy towards wehre you want to go in your knee. I am..
...not a doctor, so I do not really know the extent of the carlilage problem in your leg, but I know this technique will work with a healthy knee. I am curious, what is your 1 secret that you know is very important to riding your horse?
I know thanks. I do keep my knees soft. But my knee cap wasnt tracking correctly or straight over the joint. I am also flat footed so there was already uneven pressure on the cartilige. So a combination of this and the fact I was riding up to 6 horses a day during the holidays caused all my cartilige to fold and split. This meant that it was physically impossible for my knees to go right!! But had an operation 5/6wks ago, theyve reset the kneecap and smoothed the cartilige etcetc.
I wouldnt say I have 1 secret. I ride a huge variety of horses, so you have to ride whats underneath you NOT focus on one area. yup sure I have small areas I will work on, but I never focus on one area as you constantly want to improve.
oh man that sounds really painful! I do agree you have to ride what is underneath you, but it happens to be that this one area (the knee) is a bridge to an independent, effective seat, which will allow you to ride each horse with precision and poise, and encourage them to go their best. I mean one to have the basics down, but this is the bridge to the independent effective seat that people strive for to...
effecively communicate and make the horse go at his best- any horse in that matter. Once you have it in your muscle memory, you wont think about it at all.
3.)once you find this balance, it will force him to find his own balanced movement because he wont be able to use your hands for support.
4.) his back will be free of pain because you will land in the center of the saddle, where you are suppost to land, and not so far back where he will shy and hollow away from you, rather than using his torso muscle and brining his back up and soft and lofty.
5.) Allowing you to ride bareback with complete softness, security, and allowing him to go his best while you do it
6.) allowing him to have his best jump (scopey, soft, self-balanced, attentive, powerful, rocking back jump), and allowing him to improve it on his own.
7.)allowing him to have a very good approach, takeoff, landing, and get away from the jump, balanced and soft
8.)allowing you to communicate with him softly effectivly, and kindly. If he rushes the fences you will go with him and be able to slow him down without using your hands (which would ruin his technique)
9.) You will have an excellent, effective position, on the flat, and over fences (you will land right in the center, and not fall back).
10.) The horse will think for himself because he will not have his focus on the riders hands and rough riding, but rather on the task he is doing, and the occasional soft commmunication from you (which he will listen to)
11.)You will stay with the motion of your horse, whether accelerating, or decelerating rapidly)
all these things I have experienced with using this, I would call, breakthrough key technique.
and when I say you I am not actually meaning you you, haha because I am sure you ride great, but in general what the person who uses the technique will experiencee. Thank you for reading my veryyyy long comment! :)
yeahh it may not really sound like it. idk I have figured out it really helps as a gateway into really independent, effective riding. When I apply this technique to me and my horse- it REALLY makes a difference in the way he loosens up in his back, jumps powerfully, scopy, and soft, and SOO many other things. Sorry about the rant :) Just maybe check out the upcoming videos in the series, and then try it, and then make your judgement- I reaally recoomend trying it, even if it sounds false :) :)
i am so excited to see i have been riding western for a while and am in the process of switching and can't manage to keep my calfs still:) i hope this helps i will for sure let you know I am subbing
ooooo myyy yesss! it will C.O.M.P.L.E.T.E.L.Y help with keeping your calves still!!! I literally can't say enough about this techniiquee I have found out. Like i could literally list 15 LARGE concepts that it makes absolutely PERFECT, soft, fun, everything~! I really hope this will help you in your budding english riding, so once the next videos come out, please comment what you think of it!! :) I will be looking forward to what you think about it!! :) ttyl :)
thank you!! and your totally welcome, i was so excited to figure out this awesome technique and i wanted to share it with you guys! haha I tried with the hoofbeats :) :)
haha cool! :) i love how you used all phillip clips the video looks awsome and i cant wait to see the rest of the series. I like that you made it about phillip dutton, hes a really amazing rider and an awsome coach too!!!! :)
Cause the guy really KNOWS how to ride and develop a horse! Don't think thats a "secret"!! And don't think "you" have any any 'fabulous" breakthru since many many other riders and trainers are able to accomplish this as well.

I agree with the rest of it and can't wait to see the rest of the videos, but part of the reason his horses are so soft, scopey, fast, and responsive is because they're top-level competition horses that are bred to be just that... it's not very fair to expect a horse that's not at that level or pedigree to be performing as well as his. But I like the idea and thank you for sharing it with us :)

I argue that as long as you have this independent seat down then all other things are secondary- as in this is a wonderful base. the reason that your lower leg might go a bit spazz is because the distribution of...

...your balance and where you absorb your shock is in your heels and your upper thigh and seat. If you absorb the shock in your knee, then your lower leg will be able to be calm and independent and you will be able to apply your heel area (and your calf will just rest there) to your horses side quietly, effectily, and it wont be moving around as it would before. You absorb the shock in your knee through this tecqnique of positive energy towards wehre you want to go in your knee. I am..

...not a doctor, so I do not really know the extent of the carlilage problem in your leg, but I know this technique will work with a healthy knee. I am curious, what is your 1 secret that you know is very important to riding your horse?
hobbzrulz159 2 years ago
I know thanks. I do keep my knees soft. But my knee cap wasnt tracking correctly or straight over the joint. I am also flat footed so there was already uneven pressure on the cartilige. So a combination of this and the fact I was riding up to 6 horses a day during the holidays caused all my cartilige to fold and split. This meant that it was physically impossible for my knees to go right!! But had an operation 5/6wks ago, theyve reset the kneecap and smoothed the cartilige etcetc.

I wouldnt say I have 1 secret. I ride a huge variety of horses, so you have to ride whats underneath you NOT focus on one area. yup sure I have small areas I will work on, but I never focus on one area as you constantly want to improve.
j78166 2 years ago
oh man that sounds really painful! I do agree you have to ride what is underneath you, but it happens to be that this one area (the knee) is a bridge to an independent, effective seat, which will allow you to ride each horse with precision and poise, and encourage them to go their best. I mean one to have the basics down, but this is the bridge to the independent effective seat that people strive for to...

effecively communicate and make the horse go at his best- any horse in that matter. Once you have it in your muscle memory, you wont think about it at all.
hobbzrulz159 2 years ago
once the series come out, I think it will be easier to discuss it, so you can try it out and stuff.

3.)once you find this balance, it will force him to find his own balanced movement because he wont be able to use your hands for support.
4.) his back will be free of pain because you will land in the center of the saddle, where you are suppost to land, and not so far back where he will shy and hollow away from you, rather than using his torso muscle and brining his back up and soft and lofty.

5.) Allowing you to ride bareback with complete softness, security, and allowing him to go his best while you do it
6.) allowing him to have his best jump (scopey, soft, self-balanced, attentive, powerful, rocking back jump), and allowing him to improve it on his own.
7.)allowing him to have a very good approach, takeoff, landing, and get away from the jump, balanced and soft

8.)allowing you to communicate with him softly effectivly, and kindly. If he rushes the fences you will go with him and be able to slow him down without using your hands (which would ruin his technique)
9.) You will have an excellent, effective position, on the flat, and over fences (you will land right in the center, and not fall back).
hobbzrulz159 2 years ago
10.) The horse will think for himself because he will not have his focus on the riders hands and rough riding, but rather on the task he is doing, and the occasional soft commmunication from you (which he will listen to)
11.)You will stay with the motion of your horse, whether accelerating, or decelerating rapidly)
all these things I have experienced with using this, I would call, breakthrough key technique.

and when I say you I am not actually meaning you you, haha because I am sure you ride great, but in general what the person who uses the technique will experiencee. Thank you for reading my veryyyy long comment! :)

yeahh it may not really sound like it. idk I have figured out it really helps as a gateway into really independent, effective riding. When I apply this technique to me and my horse- it REALLY makes a difference in the way he loosens up in his back, jumps powerfully, scopy, and soft, and SOO many other things. Sorry about the rant :) Just maybe check out the upcoming videos in the series, and then try it, and then make your judgement- I reaally recoomend trying it, even if it sounds false :) :)
