Riding a horse.

A girl riding a hrose. A terrible rider, I would never sit on a horse if I was as bad as her!



Its me and I know that I am doing alot of mistakes.
2 years ago I fell of a friends horse and injured my back badly, so bad that I could only walk for almost a year.
Today I am mutch better and I have started to ride again and can do that without getting pain.

The horse is my 17 years old stalion Max, an old trotter I bought a few years ago, mostly worked from the ground.
We practise collection.
I raise my hand and true that I remove the speed in the horse backlegs and makes him walk smaller stapes with them. This is a very importent part of a extrotters education on the way to become stronger under the rider since they are trained as a trotter to run fast and to put their backlegs slightly on the outside of the frontlegs.

When you see me raise the hand you can see me raise it very high, I do this with a very soft hand almost not touching the reins, I could take less but then I had to pull more with the hand, he is in he beginning of lerning this.
I also slant(?) my hips to signal to the horse to colect.
In the end I hope that and a very small movement up with the hand shalll be enough.

As you can see he is very sensitive and if I do anything wrong with my body he reacts on it. Thats what happens when he walks tp the sides instead of forward.


Once I was able to do higher dressage, even the start to work on the piaff...
But the way back there is long. One day we will be there thou and higher.

[SilverSammet]

I just have to say something! Im from sweden, I have a trotter... to ride a trotter horse is the most difficult you can do, my horse I started riding when she was 4 years today she is 17, during these years we have done everything, Piaff, Passage spanish walk... everything! And I se potential in this horse, he almoste do the piaff! Thats amazing! with work he can be a really good dressage horse, I think you hwo rides him is a good rider, it is not eazy to learn a trotter to do piaff. Good luck!

Thank you for your kind words.

Indeed it is hard to reeducate a trotter. They have so many problems, mental and their body.

But I love this breed.

Max is 20 years this year, and he has an old injury from when he raced. Sadly I dont think he will be able to do passage for real, but the collection is good for him.

The first time I did ride him, at the seller, I was in love at the first moment. He did do alot of "piaff" and "passage" the natural way when he did show off for the other horses. It was amazing and I though "Waow! This is My horse!" So I bought him even thou he was a stalion.

Today I have a 4 year old son after him, that I hopa alot on. I will start to ride him as soon as I can, I study right now and the year before that I did not want to start ride for real since he was so tiny.

u just keep ur toes up

[SilverSammet]

@horseluverrider4eva

No thats a misstake many does when they ride without saddle. They think you have to keep the toes up, while it accually makes the leg tensed.

When you ride without saddle, your toes are suppose tp point down.

[horseluverlol]

I thought you did everything just fine. I didn't see anything wrong but then again, I wasn't riding him. Nice video! What does cooldblooded stand for when you call a certain horse that? Sorry, I don't know how to ask this right, haha. Good, the baby foal after him can show off what his father has.:D

[myahorning12]
