Aranka May 2010

Aranka in May, 9 years old. Double bridle. 3 days earlier he offered the piaff under rider for the first time - so it is still quite undeveloped! But wanted to show how we work on it. He feels a bit too pressured sometimes, and I need to learn how much I can ask. I have the problem that he wants to put his head behind the vertical, especially after hard work. I think it is important to give him short breaks often to make this better.

In the canter we have started on the contra-canter as well as traversals (and shoulder-ins, but not on this video). He does a few non-planned changes, also into a cross-canter... But this will be better as soon as he feels stronger I think. Our downward transitions needs to be worked on, especially my seat ;) !

We work without saddle, as we have a bit of a saddle problem at the moment....

Just to follow up on our development. Generally he has gotten a lot better in regards to not putting his nose so much behind vertical. Regarding the piaffe, it has gotten more stable, at least on good days, but still quite a way to go. Will make a new fil in not so long :)

Ehm ja hvordan er han nu. Lige pt forsøger han at undgå at samle sig fra ryggen.. Så vi arbejder lidt fra jorden igen. Han har haft en lille lavgradig forfangenheds-episode, og efter det har han bare været stiv i kroppen.. Går dog barfodet på grus uden at ømme sig igen, så han er ved at være over det :) Så vi arbejder os stille og rolig op igen :)

Thanks a lot for comments!!! :)

Ja, det var første gang han virkelig sat sig 3 dage forinden. Men vi har selvfølgelig arbejdet på samlingen i et godt stykke tid, startede nok rigtigt for et års tid siden fra jorden :)

Hej Tone.. Ser sgu´godt ud... Flot som han allerede sætter sig, hvis han først er startet for 3 dage siden. Det skal nok blive godt.. Hvordan er han nu?

Jeg synes det ser rigtig fint ud og du er jo super opmærksom i dit indlæg på HN omkring hvad du skal arbejde på. Jeg synes du er lidt hård ved dig selv, det er jo en proces og jeg ville da bare ønske, at jeg bare var så langt i min egen proces :-) Modigt med indlæget på HN! Sejt!
