Why lift from hind and not front? ? Most horses are front heavy (not balanced on all four) would lifting hind not put more weight onto front? Also: can/should this be done without holding horses' head in static position- hindering it to balance properly (innately?). Learning to NOT " slap" a horse, but rather stroke. What's your take on that? Thank you

I saw that

Nice and relaxed-like it

I have watched so many videos trying to figure this out, and yours is the first one that made sense. Little talking gibberish, just fundamentals. Thank you so much

Excellent - THANKS

Now I know how to do it 😮Thank you❤😊

more videos please

more videos please

I also ride with no spurs or whip 🎉

"Expect a little and praise a lot" - I love this

im not sure what to do every time my horse feels like I'm off balance he does a flying change but then i get even more unbalanced from him changing without me expecting so we end up skipping haha xD please help!!

What a beautiful horse. “Pete” as he’s known at his stables (Carl Hester) and now a nine year old superstar at the Herning World Championships 2022. A Bronze in the team Grand Prix, 4th in the individual Grand Prix, 6th in the Grand Prix Special and 10th in the Kur (with 6 riders achieving 83% )..

Excelent! Thank you

Very helpful. Thanks

😎 video. This makes it easy for both the horse and rider to understand. My horse has wanted to start running and the way you show helps help her slower without pulling on her face.

Wow

I love the way in which your explanation and your entire demeanor are so calming and simple and make it all seem really quite doable. All of it makes sense, it gives me the feeling that I can carry this over into my own practice. A truly excellent teaching video. Thank you.

Really great video. I’ve got 10yo horse in 2019 with weak basics and now moving to PSG. I had to go back a bit because his contact issues keep us from getting higher marks. He is super nervous sometimes and clinching his teeth (overall vet and teeth are checked and ok). He doesn’t have much room in his mouth (big tongue big gums low port) so he is constantly trying to open mouth in a double. How could I get him more through? Because when I apply more leg to the steady hand he put his head up and speeds up instead of going forward onto the contact.

Great tips, thank you!

Just like to say thank you for making this video, it is nice to watch and helpful plus the horse seems to enjoy the work

Such a helpful discussion. It’s easy to feel the only one struggling in the warm up with a hot horse sometimes. Lots of great advice here, thank you for sharing!

Love your honesty and humility. Refreshing! Thanks

Hey hope you ok? Long time no see! This is your old Barber friend 😆

Congratulations! What a fantastic achievement to train a horse all the way up to Inter 1 and beyond, and to win at a regional championships! Some great tips in the video too, about staying focused during a test because every step counts. Thanks for sharing.

really helpful and good to know the cure to this problem is fixed by the correct training

Humm que lindo!!

Great vlog and results 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It’d be interesting to know what judge thought could be improved and what were highlights from test comments? Could be included for future vlogs maybe 🤔

Mega as always ! So admire your transparency, I gain so much from my training with you but also learning from your competition processes. Love that you want to win but it is all about the end game , congratulations 👊👊👊👊🍾🍾🍾

Such calm, sensitive riding. Super to watch, thanks for sharing.

Would love to know your take on training young horses i.e. 3 and 4 years olds 😁

Really enjoyed that ! Thank you for being so honest xx

Love the transparency ❤️🙌🏻

Great Video, I am struggling with my new 10 year old mare who has done very little, she is inconsistent in the contact and quite fussy in the mouth. I can get a lovely contact but it is intermittant, and I think i do fiddle to much. Part of this is a safety thing because she can be quite spooky sharp and naughty. She has quite a small mouth for a large horse 17hh. Do you reccommend any particular bits for something fussy? Or just a plain single jointed snaffle? I know they are all different but thought i would ask. Thanks

Great video, I struggle keeping consistent contact - they get longer and longer as I ride and can’t seem to keep hold of them. I’m constantly trying to shorten up my reins. Any ideas to help please ??

Another fantastic video 🥳 Thank you!

Plead guilty to also cutting my horse's mane with scissors. Only difference is that my horse's mane is a lot longer.

Don’t give up the day job. That poor horse looks like his Mum has cut his fringe. All his friends are going to laugh at him. 😂🤣

Well I’m never letting you near Kracka or Wotsit with a pair of scissors now I’ve watched that 😂

🤣🤣🤣

Was looking for eventing videos and KZfaq decided to recommend this video. Am now subscribed. If I had the option of asking you to trot up my horse, would definitely do it. He's a 16.2hh behemoth who grows when excited

Thank you for showing these tests and the difference between them. Really helpful to me.

so awesome to watch ur vlogs! thanks so much! :D

Another awesome vlog 👍🌟😘

Mav looked incredible!!!!

I love your videos and appreciate all the hard work you put into making them! Training, Showing and vlogging is not for the faint of heart! Your horses are going beautifully! I look forward to following your journey 🤩

🦄💕 can I just say - you look and sound SO MUCH like Prince William!! Capitalise on that buddy!! Great video and love the commentary 💕
