Excellent video. Informative, yet entertaining. I always kept telling my daughter to stop focusing on making his head look good, but rather get him to engage his rear and lift up his back first. Wish I would of had your videos 10 years ago - Ha! Keep up the good work for the next generation!!!!

@Amliss99 9 жыл бұрын

This is what my mom has always told me. Ride forward to the bit and not just pull his head to you. I think a lot of horse people here in Sweden need to see this video because most of the riders I see pulls the horse's head so he goes on the vertical and think he goes on the bit. I am not a teacher or something I am only 16 but I have told this to people who does this or have problems with a curling horse or a "lama" as you call it. It works. When I searched my first horse after riding pony I came across a curler the rider couldn't solve it but when I sat up on this mare (a little grumpy mare) I did as my mom had teached me and I was riding a lot with my legs and she didn't curl at all with me. But I didn't take her because she was an 8 year old who was educated as a 3 year old so I took my Mr Seebach instead. And he is perfect now he curled a little at the beginning but he was only 4 but that problem was corrected during the first training. It's one year ago now since I got him and now we are competing in Three Day Eventing and he is jumping 1 meter there and 1,10 in show jumping. And he is good in the dressage too so I am a proud rider/trainer here.

Hi guys, I discovered your videos a wile ago and I adore them. I know you get dozens of comments a day but I have a question that I am trying to get as much advice on as possible. I want to know how I can improve My seat and find my seatbones. I ride a slightly bouncy horse and i always feel like I am bouncing around. I fell like I look really sloppy. I know you guys gets tons of questions and dont have much time to answer them but I would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice :)

This was really helpful ,thank you! I own a 17 year old Arabian gelding,and he is really stubborn when it comes to the bit .I usually rides trails ,and I don't focus on putting my horse on the bit as much.He is always above the bit.Before I got the martingale he used to shake his head whenever I tried to firmly move my hand in right-to-left motions.He is not doing that anymore but he is still above the bit and sadly there aren't really that many instructors that I could ask.Could you please give me some tips or recommend me some exercises that help me as well as my horse ,I'd really appreciate it ! (sorry for the bad english)

@megankidd4671 8 жыл бұрын

As Dom suggested, to get them bending and flexing, so lateral work such as leg yields, shoulder in and haunches out, counter bend/flexion, shoulder out on a circle (I would recommend a 20 to 25 meter circle when starting out). You could also try serpentines but I find that a lot of people yank or pull when turning and that defeats the purpose of flexion. Dom also mentioned that horses who consistently are above the bit have gained strong jugular muscles, to correct that you want to build a really strong top line. Top lines are very important in the efficiency of the horses' movement. I want to suggest things such as side reins, bungees, draw reins, and the lunging system (and any other equipment that forces the horse to be on the bit rather then setting up for success, asking for it, and waiting for them to accept) are pieces of equipment that can easily be misused and wreck your horse rather than aid in your success. You can also try some things from the ground, such as stretching.

@megankidd4671 8 жыл бұрын

If your horse is stiff in their head and neck they're probably stiff in other places too, Evention made a video on stretching your horse. It's called 8 simply stretches or something. You'll find it. You could also try free jumping, lunging on the line or free lunging.

My horse is very green and throws her head around when I try to get her on the bit. She is very thick through the throat latch She is making good progress but is not quite understanding what I'm asking for, do you have any tips on training/teaching horses to understand what you are asking them?

I am just coming back from a injury to me knee (dislocated knee cap) that I had back in August. I will need to bring the horse I ride and myself back up to fitness in order to start riding again. He is a Lipizzaner :) I was wondering if you had any advice for us both? Thank you, and awesome video! :)

@ewolfbalto 10 жыл бұрын

I brought my mare back from a total of 6 months off last spring with the assistance of my mom. My advice would be to just start slow. We walked my mare for a month and then we started trotting. But everything we did was loosely. We went on lots of walks in the woods (which is really good if you have somewhat hilly areas, because that builds up muscle), and when we did trot we did a lot of stretching, or long and low. Basically the horse is engaged and swinging through the back, but instead of being on the bit, the horse is stretching it's head downwards and forwards. It really encourages the horse to lift the back. I wish that Evention would focus a little bit more on the stretchy trot as I call it, because so many riders under utilize this really effective exercise. Also it's a crucial movement in Training Level Dressage (and Above) and I think Training Level Eventing, but a lot of riders don't get it right.

The key is to just take it slow and not rush it. :) Rushing it could injure your horse or you and that's never fun!

what is the difference between your horse being "on the bit" and being "collected"?

@Horselover6013 10 жыл бұрын

If your horse is on bit than he is in a nice headset, carrying himself properly, with impulsion from behind. Being collected is just a reference to stride length. Your horse should be on the bit weather he is collected, extended, or otherwise.

@grandprixottb4740 10 жыл бұрын

Horselover6013 Headset only matters as long as it's not behind the vertical (whether through evasion or human force) or being a giraffe. Collection isn't about stride solely. Collection is having the hind end impulsion and nice, lifted back. Collection is what the horse is doing in order to seek the bit.

@songwriter2581998 10 жыл бұрын

can a horse be "on the bit" but not "on the vertical"?

@lilcolvin1166 9 жыл бұрын

Elyse Mulvaney No, not really. This is because of way the horses neck muscles are functioning. On the bit, the horse neck should be relaxed, but working plenty. If the horse is say, behind the vertical, the muscles in the horses neck won't be working as they should and the horse won't be properly "framed." He may be soft or supple in your hands, but he won't be properly put together.

Anyone have any tips for getting a stubborn pony with a bull neck that struggles with flexion on the bit? I am fine with any other horses, but he refuses to relax haha! Need so help please

@micaelahealey7900 8 жыл бұрын

+Hmain xxx Lots of lateral movements and bending/softening exercises. My OTTB was super stiff in the neck and very hard to get to relax through the poll, but that has definitely helped. In-hand work too. Get him to soften and move off pressure laterally on the ground, then translate that under saddle. That's what has worked for me!

@HmainTomlinson 8 жыл бұрын

Micaela Raines Thank you :) Sadly my little guy was ruined at his own home, so I'm trying to unteach all the bad habits. He's very forward going, and his old rider thought he was bolting so he was constantly held back in a very strong bit. He also thought that an leg pressure meant fast! Today managed to get him stretching down into the bit, and he by the end he was beginning to relax and push into the contact. Also managed a trot leg yield without going and faster XD I'm just going to take it slow with him I think. :D

@micaelahealey7900 8 жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that, it's never fun trying to undo someone elses bad training! It sounds like you're doing the right things though, by achieving that "stretchy" feel! And definitely take things slow and focus on efficiency. Steady hands will eventually teach him that going fast doesn't mean speed up! Also incorporate tons of grid-work, trot-poles, etc, to get him focused and balanced. He'll start slowing down, realizing that fumbling and rushing through everything is a lot worse than taking it easy! Good luck with him! I'm sure you'll do great!

Micaela Raines Thank you very much! He's such a sweet little thing with lots of potential, so I'll do my best to bring it out! Glad there's a few experienced and forgiving people gibing good advice on KZfaq! Normally I just get the "whack a pair of draw reins on" .... :)
