Joseph Newcomb sits down to talk about how frustrating dressage can be and how to come to a better place with the sport. It's a long road learning how to ride but it's a wonderful journey. Adult Amateurs struggle with many things that I do. The dressage community can be toxic an unsupportive but if we find a way to get through we can truly enjoy this amazing sport.

I’ve found the “HorsePower” (from breeding up) is never in lack - it’s our skill and education and finance that limits us

Hi Joseph, this video was exactly what I needed to hear today. Started riding 5 years ago as an adult, the sport has provided me an escape from everything else in my life. A few years on, I got very hooked on dressage but as you say the puzzle is complex and resources in this sport are very scarce. The upward slope is not straight, whether we’re talking about own riding skills, building a support network, sourcing ideas exactly as you say it. You always have the “down” moments, but then you either pick yourself up through mental work, or you have a “breakthrough moment” (e.g. for me that’s a lesson where I manage to do a new move, a moment when the connection between myself and the horse is really spot on etc.)….I’ve just discovered your profile and will be watching more, thank you for the nice materials & advice!

I am not a dressage rider but I do know my horses benefit from that training. I agree, developing a horse is very satisfying. I do not compete but I like to improve myself. I am way behind. I am now 71 today and I still have a goal to be a fluid rider. I just do not ride enough. Nice to hear your comments that came from the heart, I can tell. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for your positivity. The regret at the moment for me is I don’t have enough time to ride my youngster as I still work full time. I love learning

Hi! Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. I think you are absolutly right about our connection to our horses being top priority. Any coach ,- as good as he may be, can bring you only this far if you do not listen to your horse and what his development needs right now in the first place. My experience with this is like: I practise something for some time and it works to a certain level, but then I realise something's missing to get us to the next level.. a tiny part of the puzzle...and I can't figure out at once what that part is...and start to search for it, try different things. Often it's not easy to find what that is or even close to what I'd have suspected, e.g I had to put more work in the walk to improve the canter. But yeah, the development and training of your own young horse is the best part and the golden cup on your mantelpiece. I bought a 4 year old 2 years ago...now he's 6 and I wouldn't give one day of our journey away for any accolyte. 😊

Thank you Joseph. This is exactly what I needed to hear today! I am a lifelong older amateur who does AQHQ HUS. I utilize dressage as the basis for what I am improving on my 18 hand appendix. Going it alone is difficult when it comes to competing and it takes longer to get the same results as someone who has a FT trainer but I wouldn’t miss the journey for anything! I appreciate you and have learned so much!!!

Finding a trainer that gets results between you and the rider is key (mentorship) who puts it in a way that makes sense to you so that you can go away from the training session and do it without(!) them!

This is great. I'm too old to do anything spectacular, being 59. My expectations are pretty low. I would like to enter dressage competition. They have Geriatric Dressage where I live. I want to get a horse of my own but thinking about horses and me. I just love riding but also grooming, feeding, and caring for horses. My horse riding coach says buy a horse that can do entry-level dressage, jumping, and cross country. Great advise. There's a horse at the school and Arabian ex endurance horse. I just love this horse. When I'm riding him, it's fantastic. If something happened that this horse became available to purchase, I'd buy him without a second thought. He doesn't get dressage and he jumps in a unique way. Hearing what you said just made me think. Maybe it's just riding that I love, and maybe competition is not for me. I do have a lot of other things in my life, like full-time work, art work. Volunteering with a horse rescue near me. These things are also important to me. I don't want to get myself into a competitive toxic environment. I just want to get a horse and have fun riding it and improving my own riding.

Thank you Joseph for your insight and inspirational talk. I have had a similar background as you. And am now in full time Dressage, 28:13 only I never had the real opportunity to purchase a high quality Dressage mount. Until last year I have a lovely 4 yo Dutch Harness with a lovely conformation and attitude with 3 nice gaits. We are in the process of breaking him. I Don't break them myself anymore but I am coaching an amateur adult who is a good rider and pretty fearless. I am 65 had 2 knee replacements shoulder surgery so don't want to risk the green horse extremes. But I will have to say he is doing phenomenal. But I did put 9 months of ground work on him as he could barely lead when I got him. So I am in no hurry to bring him up the levels. I believe the NH saying "slow and right beats fast and wrong." Anyhow I am planning on getting on him after 30 rides. We are on our 20th next ride. I have put our progress on you tube and FB. He's progression is actually more than I expected. I am hoping to show in intro this year just for experience for him. He does your typical green horse things. Still not connected of course yet but seems very willing and seems to enjoy the attention. Teaching him to follow the seat, turn, walk trot, canter, shoulder fore, large serpentine. Stopping with the seat and weight. I am also teaching him the 1 rein stop for emergencies. I have saved myself many times with this maneuver. Anyhow that's my short story on my new horse journey. New Image Equestrian Center on you tube is what he is on. Thanks so much for your advice. Love to watch you work!

I have probably got old fashioned values, but I think there is far too much estrogen among dressage riders. That makes for bitchy comments from riders you wouldn't expect to be nasty and bitchy. That's one of the main reasons I enjoy watching you. The other reason of course is that you ride and coach excellently. To ride with the mind and heart is always the best way. Stay as you are and let the jealous comments bounce off you like water off a ducks back. You are great! ♡♥♡♥♡

Im a in the middle of intermediate and. Beginner rider and bought a young 4 year old green mare. I have to tell you I didn’t rush anything and it took me two years to understand how to make her supple, and me to understand and feel what’s underneath me (how to feel a. Little the movement of the horse) Still long way to go but now in a little faster pace.

Just wondering what you think about PNH folks that are trying to play with their horse for their relationship foundation,, before they continue into dressage,,, its sad since someone I know is at a boarding facility and they don't understand PNH ,,, and other boarders there all laugh at her and what she is doing ,,, but at least she's not spurring her horse like crazy ....

@fairwood100 2 ай бұрын

I'm assuming that PNH is Parelli nat. horsemanship. My gf was doing pnh at an elite barn (chandeliers, etc.) They told her (not asked) her to immediately stop it and never do it again in their area. Less than 2 years later, everyone was doing it and requesting lessons in it. Just takes awhile, sadly.
