In this video we discuss exercises to get horse shoulder control. When you ride a circle on a horse, the horse may drop the shoulder in, or bulge out through the outside shoulder. This video goes over how to steer a horse, how to fix a crooked horse, and what to do if the horse won’t turn. It includes exercises for getting the horse to turn and the correct aids to use in order to turn the horse.

I just had to comment that I tried the exercises at a walk and trot this morning with my green mule...and although it wasn't perfect yet, doing the square instead of circling him was SO much better, less frustrating for both of us! I also tried the pentagon, even though I think it's meant to do in canter, I did it in a trot. I sort of ended up with a different shape, but the theory was the same, I would trot a few strides straight then turn, few more strides, turn etc. Everything was so much smoother for us than the past few months trying to make even circles of varying sizes and patterns without a bulge! My big mule has big movement, but smooth, just steering has been so hard for me to work him through. With mules it really is about getting creative and changing things until you find what works...this is a success and I'm confident I will be able to train him more effectively now, thank you again and wanted to give you an actual update after application!

Hi Kelly, That is so cool that you are riding dressage with your mule! What great improvement you have made with him. It makes me so happy to know that you are finding the content helpful! I love hearing your success! So kind of you to take the time to give an update. If you have the time, would it be possible for you to put something similar in a Google review? g.page/r/CYIGmCINXFOQEAo/ It really helps give me more credibility and makes my content easier to find for other dressage students!

Wonderful to see someone giving advice while riding a PRE. So often it is only warmbloods, which move differently and what works for them frequently needs a bit of modification for a shorter backed more upright type of horse. Your timing with this video is perfect as I was riding my squares with quarter turns last night to encourage my fellow to get his big shoulders around. Now that our velocity has dropped from warp 9 to something more sane (thanks to your circle to reduce speed video) I am definitely going to use the pentagon form for training the canter to correct his desire to fall in substantially on the right rein. Really, really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. I should have a t-shirt for riding that says, "Thank you Amelia Newcombe". 👍🐴

I've seen videos dealing with this problem before. But every trainer sees things from a different angle. That's why your demonstration is so informative. Though I'm a western rider I like ypur personal riding style and I try to emulate your riding position (not pulling the legs up, not sitting on the cantle and so on) The English and wester riding styles are not as different as people claim.

Thank you so much Amelia for sharing this. I have a big, green TB who has been dropping his shoulder's & making a big thing of going past the gate. I am a little rusty as it has been far too many years since I have taken on such a very green horse, but my boy is wonderful, very intelligent & very special. I had been trying to correct his shoulder drifts by trying to ride a deeper, longer outside leg (not forgetting to use the ask/hold then give/release of the outside rein) however this would sometimes work but not always & I would feel that I was sitting a little too deep in my outside hip at times. I watched your tutorial before riding today & everything you said + rode made complete sense. My knee has been coming off on the outside & even when this has happened slightly it has been enough for my green horse to get confused. So, I took on board all that you shared & the exercises that you rode.... and oh wow, fantastic, what a difference today's ride was! Thank you so much for helping me turn a big corner with my big fella (🙂literally!) We even got 3 excellent steps of the "Walk Pirouette" a couple of times today thanks to your instruction. Again, thank you so very much!

We were talking about this the other day so I find it interesting that you have a video on it. One of the things my mentor used to say about this was that it was really the hindquarters that needed help. It's one of those pieces that I haven't had many opportunities to dig into because my horses never seem to need it. I was wondering if walking or trotting the square is what you're thinking about because the horse has to disengage his hindquarters for the corner, reaching under with his inside hind foot. There are some elements that for some reason seem to work out well for me and I don't know why. I am not what I would consider a good rider, but I watch others who seem to be very graceful and smooth yet don't seem to get along with their horses. Someone said the other day that it feel they are missing. This journey gets very deep. Thank you for the great video. It is a highlight of my week to see you ride.

I have the same with my blind mare. She falls out through the right shoulder on the left rein. It’s generally back towards the stables, so this makes complete sense. She must know where we are in the school and recognise the sounds of the stables and ‘would rather’ go back there. Will give these exercises a try. Thanks

Also, refer to Wendy Murdochs video on rib rotation. Sometimes a rib rotation one way or another can feel like a a dropped shoulder. She demonstrates this with a little horse skeleton and rider skeleton . My horse rotates his rib cage slightly right which causes my body to shear left, head tilt right. Tricky!

@danielthomas3333 4 жыл бұрын

The horse will rotate his thoracic torso when assuming a bend. How exactly he does this is a result of his straightness/crookedness.

@lauremckinney7111 4 жыл бұрын

Daniel Thomas Can you tell me more about this?

@danielthomas3333 4 жыл бұрын

Laure McKinney A horse’s spine has different ability to bend depending on different parts of his body. For example the neck is flexible but the section through his rib cage can only bend a little bit. The theoretical bend is very small. He compensates by twisting his spine. This causes his rib cage to rotate. The rider feels this as one side of his ribcage dropping and the other side rising. It’s a little bit complicated. If his back is saggy he will tend to rotate counter clockwise on a left turn and clockwise in a right turn. I. E. versi versa on the other side. When a horse has been straightened by inappropriate exercises he may be sagged when turning one way and hogged when turning the other way. In that case he will tend to sagg on the same side regardless of which way he is turning This is hard to describe in writing. The easiest way to understand it is perform an experiment. Cut out a strip of stiff paper about 1/4 inch wide and about 6 inches long and try bending it in it’s own plane. You will see that it will twist and the direction of the twist will depend on whether you allow it to Hogg or sagg. You will notice that it HAS to twist in order to bend laterally. IMHO if you use the method I have suggested in my previous remarks you should have no trouble getting him straightened correctly. The basic method is based on an article that Charles Dekunfy had written many years ago in a magazine. Forgive me for for my inadequate explanation, but I’m typing this at 4:00 in the morning.🥵

@kerryobrien6299 4 жыл бұрын

@@danielthomas3333 Yes! My mare has a very rotated rib cage, possibly from foal bearing. She's very sprung and can really shove the rider around with her ribs. So she appears to be bending on the circle, but actually drops the inside shoulder. She doesn't appear counter bent, but it's fake. It's very difficult for her to bend her sprung ribs. The most challenging thing to teach her, which is completely counter intuitive to her but is helping is the HQ in. She wants to push from the shoulder. Was SO hard to get the tiniest understanding of this into her. She's also a big bossy lead mare who loves to push horses and people around on the ground. We've had a few talks about this and she doesn't pull it with me. I have pics of her standing 4 square with those ribs rotates and a very tilted pelvis. Ah, the joys of corrective work.

I've not really had to work through a shoulder bulge issue until I got my new mount about 8 months ago, as this big guy is green broke and most of the equines I've ridden in my lifetime have been already trained. This video is so concise and informative for my issue! I know it is me as well as him of course, so I am excited to try this all out tomorrow, as I've been trying different things out on my own here and there and making minimal progress. I feel kind of silly for not thinking of trying squares instead of circles! I was actually doing MORE circles with him thinking that would help, but I think it's just making us both dizzy and nuts...I've been doing spiral ins/outs, 8s, small circles etc. Wish I had looked for help with this sooner! He is also a draft mule of which he is my 1st non-horse to ride ever, and his shoulder bulges are so strong I have been much more frustrated both physically and mentally as this has been a hurdle I haven't been able to move past with him yet. Other mule people have actually told me that shoulder bulges seem to be a common issue specifically with mules, but until my big boy started making a habit of this a few months ago, I just brushed it off. Well, I did get a green broke mule to challenge myself, so here I am haha...such a great video with clear and simple direction and tips to use for a variety of riders and mounts!

Hello Amelia, I am Núria from Barcelona Spain I want to thank you - this video was very helpful to me. My horse usually falls in when we ride right on one side of the circle and I didn't understand why he did it just in one side. With your video I understand it. He rides more correctly straight in the side of the cercle near the gate because the gate neutralizes his tendency the fall in. But on the other side of the cercle, he always falls in because he has both, the gate and his tendency. Due to your video, I was able to understand what's going on. So, I practiced what you say to turn 90 degrees and it works great. Thank you so much. Núria

Super video once again, thank you! I ride a horse that likes to throw his shoulders in during the walk>trot transition - I assume it’s an evasion but I’m not sure how to fix it, any tips?

Your training techniques are straight forward.

Loved this video. The explanations of everything made so much sense. I'm excited to take this back to my horses. I think my standardbred in particular will benefit from this immensely. Thank you!

I love it looks so easy. Could you show turn on the haunches. I think about to much. Maybe making it harder then it is.

Exactly what I needed today- lovely approach and teaching! This is what I'll focus on today with my 5yo, as he is quite crooked. Thanks- it will be a geometric shape type of day.

Thank you Amelia!! The square and pentogram are excellent ideas for me. My horse bulges out going to the right trot and right lead canter. Can't wait to try this.

Thank you for this very helpful video! This is exactly what's happening to me with different horses so it must be something I'm doing wrong :) I'll definitely try this out next time!
