Plus her ears were still forward and she had a pleasant expression during them. A horse with this much power in its hind end would give a real buck if it wanted. And if she were completely on the forehand it would be impossible for her to do this movement. No she's not sitting on her haunches as? much as is typical, but again, she was young.

IF? you look even closer she does give three small bucks during this short vid, plus her hindlegs doesn't carry any weight. And her ears are not flopping she's moving them!

Ear flapping is a ... By: missymatch123. on 31 Aug 10, 01:40:03 Ear flapping is a sign of a horse being relaxed actually. Every horse is different. So I don't see how anyone can sit here and say "oh she hates it" Because NONE of you(including me) know how she is.

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.

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!

horse ears are not supposed to flap when being? ridden... they are supposed to be turned back a little, listening to the rider. This ear flapping is a sign of absolute submission of the horse where he just does his stuff like a machine ...it looks like mechanical trick training - I am not perfect but I don't see any harmony or happiness in this...

She was a fantastic horse, but she is on the forehand the entire time.... There is a lot of spur and she was just taught? to lift her legs, not to transfer her weight onto the haunches. Nobody is perfect, but he could do much better than this, really! She is giving everything and is just getting the spur... she seems forced....
