as a dressage rider, i have to tell you how beautiful and gorgeous and responsive this horse is! would more dressage riders would learn that it is all balance and NOT hanging on the horse's mouth! beautiful and amazing!!!
thanks you!! slidenspins! I addressed that same issue on another video and got a mouthful! Its so true though he always does that! On every horse he rides! The rest of the run is beautiful and then he over spins the roll back every time
If the horse didn't like the moves he was performing you would see signs of stress like tail swishing, very wide gaping mouth, even high headed and hollowed back. What you see here is a very willing horse, level headed, and relaxed.
slidenspins & awestrop3789 - according to the NRHA rulebook it doesn't matter what lead a horse is on in the run down to the stop or the exit from the rollback. However, he must be on the correct lead when he rounds the corner/end of the arena. There is no penalty or maneuver deduction if he comes out of the rollback on the incorrect lead. Some riders actually change leads when they get straight to run & stop because their horse stops better on one lead than the other - all within in the rules.
I'd still be concerned if my horse began cross cantering coming out of the rollback. Could indicate an injury. This horse didn't seem to have a habit of that in the past. Not what I would consider stellar conformation but this horse sure has a willing mind.
As they said before, read the rule book! You wouldn't be concerned if you asked them to do it, would you? I sure hope not. I suggest you read the rulebook before coming here and telling us what's right and wrong
