Riding forward – Horse in front of your leg

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:18:10 +0000

Many problem occur in dressage when your horse in not in front of your aids or also referred to in front of your leg. This means that with a light aid your horse should move freely forward or sideways. Most horses give you a delayed response – you put your leg on and they do not move. I like to think that the horse should react to my leg like my car reacts to the accelerator. When I put my foot on the gas pedal of my car I know how it will react. With my horses I must know that when I put my legs on how my horse will react. We start with a light aid (the type of aid you would like to give) if the horse doesn’t react then they get a stronger aid. We want to give the stronger aid till the horse moves freely forward. Every horse must know they can be ridden forward – (example riding extended canter or riding in the field where the horse can be a little less restricted.) eg on and they do not move.

Enlightened Equitation.Teaching with horse movement simulators,.

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:11:37 +0000

Heather Moffett pioneered the teaching of riding with horse movement simulators and has taught and lectured worldwide with them. She developed a ‘hands on’ unique method of showing the rider the precise movements of lower back and pelvis in order to synchronise their movements exactly with those of the horse, producing a very quiet, but effective Classical seat. Even long established faults in riding can be easily corrected, ‘feel’ can be taught, and the horse is also saved any discomfort in the process. Join us on our two day workshops, and revolutionise your riding!

[MY EPIC FAIL] Fox Crossing Jumper Series Horse Show 1 with Bay 12/11/2011

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:11:21 +0000

It’s that time of year again, Time for Fox Crossing! I love these guys, and they always hold the best shows here! Sadly, luck was not on my side. I showed up early, and ended up waiting around for the better part of the day to get started. I had trudged through the mud so my boots were very slippery. I actually ended up taking a little spill, and even took myself off course first round. I completely missed second round, and third round bay knocked the jump. I was a pretty epic fail, but I can only blame myself and learn from these mistakes. I’m hoping I have a bit more luck when I go back for show 2!
