I don't think he assumes however with a lot of top riders they forget what its like to be at the starting point! so when he says "position the horse and sit central" thats all he thinks hes doing !

He is amazing

What do you mean ? The Riders shoulders in the same position with the horse shoulders?

divina 22 no, he means that it was not a shoulder in, which is true, it was more of a leg yield

@@princessalliecat8 the execution in the video, especially at the middle of the wall was definitely more deflected than bent, which might be true, but the remark made is pretty correct. he bends the horse more, when he gets towards the end of the wall, getting better. nevertheless the argument he makes is perfectly defensible, he could have demonstrated it better in places... but that does not mean it cannot be done. (or that he cannot DO it, maybe he just didn't quite do it here)

+besitosxo ....pushing the quarters out only people do who dont ride by using weight aid cause they are not truly balancing on their horse in every changing moment ..... weight aid is the most important language with a horse ! ....horses follow the weight, this is pure physics or law of nature we all firstly have to understand .....but this video is good , i only miss the point of weight aid

Please put a video up showing how to do it correctly

Francois rebichon de la Guérinière, who named the exercise, 'epaule à dedans' specifically executes it on four tracks and mentions the shoulders should be deflected by '1,5 - 2 pieds' (ie 60 cm). He also mentions that it was already done by Wiliam cavendish, duke of Newcastle as well as De la Broué centuries before him. On closer inspection the mentions are more widespread than even that, and all writers from the 16h century onwards could be said to have written about versions of Shoulder-in. (you might argue that even Rufus mentions similar work in the 13th century, but that is open to interpretation.) the main point of Plinzners book under Steinbrechts' name seems to be to tell you why Baucher is terrible. But if you read carefully you will see that in gymnasium des Pferdes the same metric is repeatedly mentioned: the Hindlegs need to support the front. this is done even in a four track if the bend matches the Abstellung. It might be easier to hide the absence of a lifted back with less Abstellung, but the physical necessity is not present. so no, Steinbrecht does not really quite say that, although you could be forgiven to misconstrue that, as his writings are mostly through a ghost writer and meant to deface another author of the time.

Horse is on four tracks much of the time here. Also the horse appears to rigid in the frame and a stoccato like trot.

Explain - don't make a statement without backing it up

Could you please put a video up on how to do it correctly, Daniel Thomas

Easy to talk crap when you don't have to back it up. Which Olympics did you participate in again? 2000none..... 😂😂
