I wonder if it would be advantageous to ask the rider to open and close the elbow hinge more? Leave the hands behind…

before facing this step i would be much more concerned about the curling. maybe she can learn while being on lounge. feel sorry for the horse, sorry

When you bear down, do you sustain that abdominal feeling with costant pressure or do you bear down and release on every step?

What do you mean when you say to bear down?

Thank you! This was great!

what a super genuine horse. What an amazing opportunity, to learn from a horse like that.

This is very good. I struggle with some of my horses with extended trot, others go naturally. The advice here is pretty good. My 2 GP do more or less extended trot and ñaradoxically my two PSG do better ones. I still need to develop this exerckse more.

Whoa, this is too good to be free! Excellent coaching, excellent information. I appreciate you putting this out here! ❤

Thanks a lot one of the best coaches on the net. Simple and effective

Stunning video and very well explained to understand movement of horse and rider thank you

Hola donde impartes clinic soy de españa y me gustaria asistir a una master class tuya un saludo

Schade , dass man die Trabverstärkungen nicht direkt von der Seite hat sehen können. 🚀

Super imformative especially on the trot work slowing down and increasing what to do with body , reins . The canter work ….could you please explain what the body needs to do to slow down and increase the canter. Is the bungy cord still being used ? I just need clarification on the role of the body . Thankyou I absolutely love your teaching videos I’ve learnt so much. Linda Clark

Not addressing her bouncing hands.

Wait i thought friesans were only black

I love this horse and rider and Leif’s instruction. I’m getting so much out of it! I’m wondering if someone could compile a playlist following the journey of this horse and rider starting from the first lesson with Leif to the most recent lesson ? Well done, amazing progress

I'm 66 years old and trying to relearn how to ride after 50 years, and REALLY STRUGGLING to get my canter seat! No one has explained it all this way. I'm so excited to try this! Thank you! 🙏🏻

Dressage: Just sit there. All horsemanship boils down to one thing: SIT DOWN. LET GRAVITY DO THE WORK.

How do you fix a lateral walk?

It’s so cool he’s brown!

If you have the weight in the thigh 80% and 20% in the sturrup, it seems that you would be gripping the knee

This trainer must be a student Mary Wanless?

Make it look so easy, lovely ❤

A brilliant way of explaining the canter and not blocking the horse by sitting on the forehand

Great video

This mare reminds me of high noon, Philippe Karl’s horse

I developed an addiction to these lessons....fantastic...thank you so much for sharing... 🤩

i ride big mare with a long back and this was really hard for us, after watching your video it was so easy that my instructor was surprised to see a great shoulder in. thanks

Thank you for the fantastic videos that give a lot of tips. You are a great trainer. It's great to be able to watch your comments produce results during training. It's also great to watch a conscious rider, who strives to understand their body and doesn't waste time repeating mistakes endlessly. Thank you girl, for the opportunity to watch a fantastic workout that certainly helped you, but also did a lot of good for equestrianism.

wow, what a great teacher, what a great lesson. A real gem, thanks for sharing.

Thank you! It's everything Mary Wanless teaches, and your explanation is perfect. ❤

Love your teaching style! Thank you for all of the tips!

"promosm"

Gorgeous riding!

Watch how the horse soften when she correct her seat

Wonderful… anybody know if we have to tighten our pelvis & inner thighs while setting trot , do we have to hold and hug the horse or do we have to be relaxed and absorb the motion of the horse’s back while moving .. !

That's a gorgeous friesan ❤❤

Leif I think a good word to use would be to scoop them up I love your metronome and the 123 example is perfect and I think the word to help you explain it would be something like scooped because that's what you're trying to get positioning signaling the rear engagement and opening of the forehand so like an ice cream scoop you kind of dig a little core and seat and then guided up to get the ice cream

She might be able to use a chiropractor sounds like a good adjustment would do that numbness some good and also thank you for having this particular video I was looking for something to help explain how to use the core and to push into and affect the stride so thank you very much for having this informative video

I like this guy! So positive, kind and encouraging So knowledgable

Wow I love this guy’s instruction style!

Do you have any tips for helping a horse that sucks behind the leg when he loses confidence, such as at a new venue or horse show environment? This is not an inherently “lazy” horse, he’s just difficult to keep in front of the leg when he lacks confidence.

Love the visual of deer on wall and rider stays connected to velvet backing

I hope you make more of these videos soon. I love Mary Wanless's teachings and you make it very understandable in action. You've brought everything she says alive in a kind and intelligent way. I've rewatched your videos many times because they are just so, so good.

Great lesson!! Thank you very much for sharing it with us willing to learn :) I do have small questions though: for the sake of the horse back, why does sitting trot is so long? why not only few steps and increasing them? Why not holding one hands on the saddle and once the bumps are much less and hands becoming independent, then moving to the second step? I am having troubles as well w sitting trot and i can do well only few steps yet. But, your videos are really interesting and again thank you so so much!!

After yrs and years of lessons with diff trainers I've never heard this explained so well.

Truly superb instruction and refinement of position and aids. Wonderful video.

His voice is easy on the ears

I love love your videos. I'm aiming for my next life 😂
