why is you leaning out in front of the horse?? even if you didnt want a lot of weight on his back, you can still be out of the saddle and sitting up straight at the same time...when you're jumping youre gonna get way ahead of him and hes gonna sneak out of the side or something.. i would definitely not ride like that on a green horse but i guess if it works for you.....

For an in-depth discussion of why we do flatwork with our weight over our feet, see the article in the January 2013 issue of Dressage Today entitled, "Retraining Thoroughbreds for Dressage." I've added the link to the video description so you don't have to search for it.

Lovely riding, great , soft training. Much admiration for your work.

He's used to not having much weight on his back, so Gadually entroduring weight and contact to him as to not overwhelm him is the best thing to do.

Is it just me or does he move the front right legs a little weird. He is a stunning horse but that knee looks strange to me. O.o
