Understanding the Training Process
The theory of dominance has influenced training methods for far too long. In the wake of research and evidence regarding equine behavior and learning theory, we MUST evolve to understand the impact of our training methods.

Defining the Term Skilled Rider
Переглядів 487Рік тому
Being a skilled rider is not related to winning - the two are quite separate. Being a skilled rider must, surely, be related to how well the horse maintains his/her physical, mental and emotional well being on the journey. This is the test of a skilled rider in our books!

Переглядів 171Рік тому
Fear is a natural and necessary response to have when either a horse or human senses danger. How does it manifest in horse and rider partnerships. What can we do to make it as safe as possible for both horses and humans when undertaking what is, in fact, an unnatural endeavor!

That’s abuse is 2024 you can ride a control a horse without using metal in their mouth
Thank you very much for taking the time to prepare this video. Everything that you have each explained makes perfect sense, and I am a better horsewoman for the knowledge you have shared. I have downloaded the video for safekeeping so I can return to it. Kudos to all of you! ❤ :)
Great stuff!
Great video!!!! Truth!!! I soooooo love horses!!! Again, thank you John Lyons for bringing this out so many years ago and continuing to do so!!! I call them my pasture puppies... I love them so!!! Such great friends and such great joy to be with them!!! Maybe someday I'll be fortunate to be able to meet John!!! 💗💗💗✝️✝️✝️ Bridge
I learned from John Lyons 30 years ago!! I still have the rope reins I got from him!!! I still use his training techniques today!!! Thank you John Lyons!!! 💗💗💗👍👍👍 Bridge
Why isn't it called a zony?
How learn a trick from gound?
It’s so sad the horse gives up when the saddle is placed on
Great video and explanations.
Amazing amount of info and easy to understand
Horsey people have got to stop percieving thier animals as objects of pleasure and understand they are dealing with sentient beings who feel pain, sorrow, happiness ect. just like we do. A lot of people hide pain too.
Why is there no throat latch on the ergonomic bridle?
yes! so many levels of yes! past trainers have told me to jam my heels down as a hunter rider which is caused me some nasty knee problems. I still have to wear a brace sometimes. This entire video is stuffed full of amazing information.
You've just got yourself a new subscriber, your videos are very informative and helpful
Thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated.
"Why didn't you save X number of horses instead of one horse?" Such reductivism would lead to saving no horses... only breeding embryos.
Forcing a horse to hold his head like that is criminal.
Brilliant. I learned so much . My horses thank you too.
Thank you for the feedback. Dr. Leibbrandt also has a course on our platform which has had great feedback from both owners and equine professionals:) www.equitopiacenter.com/shop/compassionate-training-for-todays-sport-horse-dr-karin-leibbrandt/
Just curious about the background music. It is quite distracting. The information is great,thank you for sharing.
Ty
Great video 👍🏼👍🏼
Magnificent video!
I diagree about heels down. If the rider is riding correctly, theres no problem with heel down. These people must not be riding correctly. 1st the expert rider isn't forcing their heel down. Nothing is forced in correct riding. It just naturally goes down. Proper leg position is important. Yes, Ive been trained by professionals on the forward seat, jumping. I jump, foxhunt, & the experienced riders have no trouble with heels down. My circle is professional horse riders. Only the ball of your foot is on the iron. Ive been around horses since 5yrs old years, for over 45yrs. My life is horses 24/7.
Yes, this is the point of the video. Heels down without context. Many people FORCE their heels down as a result of trainer instruction, but without having it come from a whole rider perspective. This will result in tension.
love your videos, but the background "beat" noise is really annoying
Thank you so much for having done a video like this ! This is very clear and helpful and the world of riders need this kind of informations !
So much unnecessary suffering 😞
Excelent information!! Thank you for sharing!
Where do I find this?
Excellent! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. We have several more webinars and an online course on saddle fitting on our platform at www.equitopiacenter.com
I love your videos, it's very helpful as I want to become a Hippologist one day❤
Thank you for letting us know. Glad you find them helpful:)
I love this horse lipping the lady the whole time. I have a really nice pleasure saddle I have been thinking about selling. It is definately for a large horse. This makes me feel I should take it to potentual buyers instead of having them come see it. I would rather see it go to a horse it actually fits.
If possible why not ride bitless? It is much more comfortable and relaxed. Building a trustful relationship is satisfying, peaceful and healthy for the rider and horse. Respecting God' creation a big step in the right direction! Watch: "God of wonders"
This is the channel that I learnt quite a lot about the equine, whether it be preventing lameness or recognizing that fact, this channel is good for all levels of equestrians
Always going to the vet bc I find observations my horse isn't right. Some things get solved. Others don't. Problem is getting a diagnosis. Spending thousands and thousands and not getting much help other than shots in the dark. That's the issue that needs addressing.
Yes, we have a long way to go in order for the industry at large, from owners, breeders, vets and farriers, to saddle fitters, bit/bridle fitters and bodyworkers, to be able to adequately care for our horses from a preventative aspect. Learning to collaborate from some kind of evidence and research based protocols should be the way forward for all. We are trying to guide these changes on our education platform at www.equitopiacenter.com
What about bitless bridles? Can you do a video about them please? Which are the best and which are bad?
So informative. Thanks a million.
Amazing
What would you recommend for a horse that overdeveloped on right?
Dr. Leibbrandt has a course that goes into crookedness, balance and more biomechanics. This would probably be the most helpful. Here is the link if you want to take a look: www.equitopiacenter.com/shop/compassionate-training-for-todays-sport-horse-dr-karin-leibbrandt/
What hope is there for owners of lame horses when an expert in lameness isn’t available? Lots of horses are lame and will continue to be ridden and even punished for exhibiting pain.
Your instruction is concise and easy to follow. Thanks for this very informative video.
I am really fond of Schleese and have learned a lot from his explanations. My experiences as saddlefitcoach are a bit different about the front tree-angle. The movement of the scapula is not straight back, as it is seen in standing. It moves towards the body/the withers and flattens. If you just follow the standing shoulder, often the saddles are to wide. Every horse is different and has different history. Holes behind the shoulderblade makes it more difficult. Very often, with a correct fitted saddle, you will have a fronttree that has the angle of a nice filled trapezium and the front of the saddle, where cushions come together with rest of the saddle; the front line of the saddle, follows the angle of the shoulder. The cushions than, are necessary to match or level missing muscles or level movement. I personally don't like the reducing in the cussions in front. Often it is not the correct place and most of the time the saddle 'parks' itself there, behind the scapula. That will cause problems again. It pinches more and more and water will stay in the soft tissues. Cussions can be over the scapula, as long they follow the build of the horse and are soft (still dence enough) to follow the movement. Exceptions on above are often Frisians and Arabians, or mixes. The shoulder movement is wider. In another video Schleese explains it a bit more like I did now. Of course: a saddle should be checked at least once or twice a year. Your horses change during their life! Learn yourself and work with a saddler/saddlefitcoach.
How do you make the horse do walk w short jumping horse
Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you . The pen image is so helpful .
I dunno why i cried on this video
This is the absolute best saddle fitting video I have seen tonight!! I loved how you drew on the horse showing the zones!!! I have been just riding mine bareback because I dont want a ill fitting saddle and hurting my horse and I wasn't sure about the placement either thank you so very much for a well detailed videos!
I’ve watched several of these Equitopia videos and I’m beginning to wonder if horses ought to be ridden at all.
Excellent video Thank you so much
Thanks! an excelent resume!!❤
Thank-you! I plan to be a horse owner some day and need to STUDY horse care before I make an attempt at ownership.
I've always thot those dropped nosebands looked painful & unnecessary. If you have to tie your horse's mouth shut like that, you're doing something v-e-r-y wrong...
