@eyeseeyouto What an amazing eye you have to be able to see so much with such terrible lighting and clear definition. Has it occured to you that perhaps the purpose of neck flexions is to help develop the top of the neck so that the horse can carry itself properly?

Isn't this PK stuff amazing? I can't believe how fast my horses are progressing, and all I'm doing is auditing the course.

She's so pretty!

My coach just makes me buy her a case of beer :P

@kgaccount I work with a child who has serious GI tract problems that triggor almost all behaviours. He also tested negative for gluten allergy but we cut that out and all dairy and all sugar and his behaviour is so much better.

This horse is a wonderful example of how classical (true classical) methods can help horses move better, through the back, and in true roundness sans overbending and/or aggressive methods. Not to mention it is fabulous for both their physiques and their minds. I bet your horses rarely (if ever) g...

@fifigaf the reason I heard was that the risk of hitting yourself in the head was lower than the risk of your helmet causing an arm or something to get stuck and make you go off balance. That's what my coach says but who knows.

I think your ride was great. If you don't mind me asking, what did you score?

You and your horses are an inspiration. Thank you so much for these videos!!

@pennychivers you could start them on rollbacks and angled jumps if their position is strong enough. You could also work with different types of fences with some cool fillers. Or you could practice cutting out/adding strides in a line.

@wejump2 However there are people in the training portion of his course in Canada right now, and I am taking lessons from this instructor AND going to his clinics. Well done on the research front.

I think after reading their books you might disagree with your statement that these horses are mentally and physically ok. I used to look at dressage the same way you are now and therefore am not criticizing you. I understand that everyone is on their own journey and needs to find out what works ...

@Unicornluver123 Your horse will also salivate when it is unable to swallow due to being constricted through the throat latch. It also cuts of all circulation. A well known trick in competition is to also soap the bit so that the horse foams like mad. Real foam that comes out of a horse from rel...

@liz185 It depends on where you live. If you send me an inbox message with where you live in the world I could possibly help you out =)

@lilmisshorsey14 I know exactly where you stand as I stood there once, but if you ever have the chance to ride with a 'classical' dressage rider do it. You'll be amazed by how much damage we do to our horses by making them carry their heads the way we do and the way we use the bit. Even really am...

@proequestrian Every ride, regardless of how it looks, is training.
