Rechtrichten met Saegola, 22 mei 2011

Ik heb het rechtrichten weer opgepakt, nadat ik een poosje erg weinig met de paarden had gedaan. We moeten er dus weer even inkomen, maar we zijn in ieder geval weer lekker bezig samen.
Natuurlijk valt er nog een hoop te verbeteren maar Saegola doet in ieder geval haar uiterste best en blijft ontspannen (let op haar tong!), en zelfs de bedoeling van de travers op de linkerhand begint nu eindelijk langzaam tot haar door te dringen.

I picked up straightness training again, after having done very little with my horses for a while. So we have to get into it again, but at least we are enjoying ourselves together again.
Ofcourse there's a lot of room for improvement, but Saegola's doing the best she can and she stays relaxed (watch her tongue!). She has even begun to slowly understand the meaning of haunches in on the left hand at last.

Hi Marja, it is nice to see you do some work with your horses! At the beginning of the video, I thought "Oh Saegola is giving her a hard time trying to nip the reins all the time!", I recognized the "food obsessed" horse you told me about ;) But at some points she looks very relaxed, like between 4:50 and 5:12. It easy to see when she feels good and when she feels concerned. And I love the end, very cute when she is trotting behind you :) One question: do you have the feeling the UE helped?

Hi Elodie! I really feel Saegola experiences what good these bending exercises do to her body. Horses learn quickly to enjoy these gymnastics. But Saegola always get a bit hectic and nippy when learning a new exercise, because she can't stand it when she doesn't understand what I want from her. But luckily she's a quick student! No doubt the UE too have contributed positively; they're a bit similar to some of these straightness exercises.

Hope you don't mind me posting Google translate of the Dutch. Typed it in to understand what is in the video text. Nice video!

Aiming Right to Saegola

First make contact d.m.v. nice teeth

@MegF142857

Thanks for the compliment! I don't mind your Google translation, however it's not flawless ;-). Here's a better one:

- First making contact by grooming

- Requesting forward down and bending

- Length bending / forward down / stepping under on circle

- Straight with bending

- Shoulder in (learning stage)

- Still plenty of mistakes, but all beginning is difficult

- Haunches in (learning stage)

@Gydjulind Thanks!

Google translate tries, but not quite there yet.

I liked the music too.
