An ... By: DamiettadCarnivalle. on 12 Jun 11, 17:16:57 In Real Life:
An Equestrian goes looking for an animal who has potential to? improve talents that are already there in most horses--agility, patience, heart, curiosity and intelligence.
Agility, to do some "man, humans are WEIRD" stuff
Patience, to do them over and over
Heart, to play this odd game even when they're having a "Bad Hair Day"
Curiosity, an eagerness to find out "what comes next?"
Intelligence, which brings them the sure knowledge of "Hey, I got it RIGHT!"
Fluffy-Headed folk ... By: DamiettadCarnivalle. on 12 Jun 11, 17:00:58 Fluffy-Headed folk BEWARE! Here are a few simple truths, and you won't like them!
Horses in the "Wild" live about 10 years. IF they survive their first winter.
#1 Cause of Death is winter starvation
"Wild" horses are actually feral [Look it up].
They have all the interspecies sociality of a 1200 lb Feral Hog . . . thus no 12-year old virgin girls should be anywhere NEAR the Pwetty ponies until the Pwetty Ponies have? been taught some manners.
This process does NOT involve fields of wildflowers
I am continually ... By: DamiettadCarnivalle. on 12 Jun 11, 16:48:08 I am continually amazed by the number of fluffy-headed folk I encounter who believe that horses should only be ridden by 12-year old virgin girls, without nasty saddles, or icky bridles--they should romp unencumbered by awkward reality thru heavenly fields of edible [by the horse] wildflowers . . . the child, presumably, brought a lunch? Tho if she were TRUELY a horse lover, she would be willing to starve, rather than corrupt her horsie with the smell of something as unNATURAL? as peanut butter

I agree with you. ... By: adadadu59. on 15 May 11, 16:57:38 I agree with you. the ears of the horse show its relaxation ... and if this horse was not ok, the rider would? be on the ground ^^ (i'm not fluent in english, and i hate it --' so excuse me for my mistakes)

What people seem to ... By: Synna89. on 28 Jan 10, 13:09:08 What people seem to forget when slagging them off, is that this is training, not? performing. Maybe he's giving extra strong signals on the warmup to prepare the horse. Cause he doesn't lean back when performing. Also, the swishing of the tail can be just to stay in balance. Becides, if she's so angry, why are her ears pointing forward?

The feeling you get after Rudolf has been on is the horse asking: "what can I do? for you?"
The recommendation Rudolf gives most often is "It is YOUR job to make it easy for the horse!"
doing something very, very difficult. Look again.

I think the thing ... By: AngeltheAwesome. on 30 Apr 09, 07:24:22 I think the thing is that Andreas is leaning back, which makes it more difficult for? a horse to passage and piaffe. When training a horse for either movement you have to teach it to be balanced with the rider, and if you lean back it throws off that balance, which explains why she's working so hard
Continuing on? the ... By: darkduet. on 21 Mar 09, 21:49:59 Continuing on? the spur thing... I don't know if it's just me... but I do wear spurs but I don't use them unless I absolutely HAVE to. I like a horse that is responsive off of the slightest touch. It is also much prettier to watch. No tail swishing (ok maybe at times!) And my legs are quite. Is it really that hard to ride the GP movements w/o constantly spurring? I've ridden the piaffe as well as the passage and found that I did not need to spur the horse this much..
I think Matine's ... By: darkduet. on 21 Mar 09, 21:48:34 I think Matine's problem is she is not built really for dressage. In some of the trot videos of her, she looks a tad down hill. She has a large front end as well. Which in turn, makes it much more difficult on her. She also appears to have a thick throat latch. Granted, she is a very gorgeous horse. She works super hard. The main problem I've? noticed with (not just this rider) GP riders is that they rely on their damn spurs SO much. I mean, just watch the riders legs.
Hmm, watching it ... By: horseygal90. on 21 Mar 09, 01:25:50 Hmm, watching it again I can see what you mean, she looks like she's working really, really? hard!
Yes! beautiful ... By: pleatec13. on 20 Mar 09, 13:20:19 Yes! beautiful movment and everything is perfect for her, but Its either she finds? dressage incredably difficult, or the ride is spurring her way to hard.

Looks pretty good from I'm sitting, she's carrying herself well, he's light in his hands and with his aids, her steps are even and rhythmic and she doesn't creep forward in the piaffe.

This horse is not ... By: Onaziz. on 14 Dec 08, 18:11:08 This horse is not curled together like you usually sees on GP level. I won't comment on the rider, but Sterlingevreux, you once commented on one of my videos where it was obvious for? me that you have no idea what "through his back" means. This particular horse is working with his back without being tense, simply because the pressure in his mouth is correct and because he ISN'T forced in a behind-the-vertical-frame. I ride my horses the same way - it's called CLASSICAL dressage.
i believe it is the ... By: EquineJunkie88. on 24 Sep 08, 17:55:07 i believe it is the knee rolls that make the rider appear stuck no room for her knees to flex and move....i despise knee rolls.
but everything else about the rider i like.... the? horse looks happy and nicely moving and the rider hands are soft and quiet.

Hyperflexion is when the chin of the horse touches the horses chest.

That makes it much clearer and easier to spot! :-) I always heard that being behind the verticle is not good for the horse, I thought that is where the big fuss was w/rollkur.. Is it? just bc Rollkur is more of a "forced" behind the verticle? Just curious, was the article opposed to the amount of time used for it or encouraging it to go longer? Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks for? ... By: Walnut28Comms. on 24 Feb 11, 17:53:46 Thanks for? bringing me back to this video. I just finished reading the article in USDF Magazine about the big discussion about ring Steward's monitoring the am't of time horses are allowed to warm up "behind the vertical." The "teacher" insisted on using a video, because a still photo doesn't do it. Look at the rein contact! a) it is loose. b) when the rider "gives" the horse gently takes...i.e. he likes the feel, and feels good to stretch neck & back! loose & juicy!

It is also much prettier to watch. No tail swishing (ok maybe at times!) And my legs are quite. Is it really that hard to ride the GP movements w/o constantly spurring? I've ridden the piaffe as well as the passage and found that I did not need to spur the horse this much..

I think Matine's problem is she is not built really for dressage. In some of the trot videos of her, she looks a tad down hill. She has a large front end as well. Which in turn, makes it much more difficult on her. She also appears to have a thick throat latch. Granted, she is a very gorgeous horse. She works super hard. The main problem I've? noticed with (not just this rider) GP riders is that they rely on their damn spurs SO much. I mean, just watch the riders legs.

Hmm, watching it again I can see what you mean, she looks like she's working really, really? hard!

Yes! beautiful movment and everything is perfect for her, but Its either she finds? dressage incredably difficult, or the ride is spurring her way to hard.

This is not Andreas, this is Rudolf? Zeilinger

Can you explain this? comment to me? Looks pretty good from I'm sitting, she's carrying herself well, he's light in his hands and with his aids, her steps are even and rhythmic and she doesn't creep forward in the piaffe.
