being a beginner rider took two years of lessons at 55yrs old, now 63 , I found a place to hone my skills for free in Alpine Calif, I travel 4 hrs to ride on Saturdays, , it's been 4 mths now and with the help of your videos , I feel much better in the saddle, and the horse assigned to me feels much better under me ..
definitely a work in progress, just wanted to say thank you your videos have been tremendously helpful ...Nelson
Great video! Could you do a video on what cues you use for some of the things you explained? I'm struggling with getting the horse to stretch or shorten/elongate strides and to bend properly.
VERY well put! I never thought of it as a language, but that is so accurate. Thanks for that insight!
Yes, this is another great instructional video 😃👍♥️
Excellent explanation! This better helps me to understand the horse I was given when an Equestrian Center where I rode closed. (Royal Dutch Warmblood dressage/lesson horse. )
Sweetie horse😘😘🐴🤗♥️😘🤗🥰😊
I watch you and you have helped me so much I may get bored but I've learned lots
Can you please do a video on what “more leg” means and what I should do when told yo give more leg?
Hi Cally, great information, thank you. My 4 yr old mare is going well with most cues and I feel that I am fairly clear most of the time. Currently refining canter cue and 'lifting' cue so she's not so flat. Just wondered where you got the bitless bridle on the horse here? Having trouble finding one in Australia. 🤠🐴 thanks
Will you do a video on how to stay on/get on the right diagonal while trotting
Kaitlyn Jefferson The right diagonal is rising up when the outside shoulder comes forward, to stay on the correct diagonal you just need to follow the 2 beat rhythm and keep checking when the outside shoulder comes forward. To change the diagonal, sit two beats and start rising again on the new outside shoulder. Hope this helps x
@@monstermunch357 ok, do you have any tips on what it feels like to be on the right diagonal
Kaitlyn Jefferson To me it feels the same, being on the right diagonal makes it look better and helps to keep the rhythm. When I first started working on my diagonals, I kept saying “1 2 1 2 1 2” out loud and it helps to know when to rise and sit. I counted the outside shoulder as 1, so I knew when to rise instead on staring down all the time x
@@monstermunch357 ok thank you
@@ava8625 The only real difference is a subtle feeling of being unbalanced around a turn if you're on the wrong diagonal. That is where diagonals REALLY matter. What you're doing is rising when the outside shoulder is forward SO THAT the INSIDE shoulder and leg can step behind and balance around that turn (like an axle or pivot point). If you're SITTING when that inside leg comes back, it makes the horse have a harder time balancing and it feels slightly off. But, you just kind of get a sense after a while to check that outside shoulder is forward and you kind of know whether you are a natural correct-diagonal-getter or if you are a one-sided diagonal-getter (meaning no matter what circle or bend you're on, you always pick up either the right or left diagonal every time). So you can learn whether once you start trotting you have to change or if you're good to go.
can u show the small different cues e;g leg positions when giving them , cause i must be giving wrong cue when i want him todo extend trot he justs go faster and it's hard to keep even pace , we both have physical problems so it is challenging
can you make a video about rearing horses and how to stay safe please
I ride on school horses and we shuffle daily,and most of the riders there are beginning except me .i have been doing riding from six years how do improve my cues
Please suggest the best padded shorts for lean riders, for seat bone cushioning
What kind of bridle is Rugar wearing. It does not look like there is a bit. I'm always looking for the "perfect" bitless bridle.
Ondrea Culp try Dr’Cooks bitless bridal I love it personally it’s a bit pricey but worth it or ride in a halter to try it out
I have issues getting the horse to move off my leg at the trot
I REALLY need help with my horse!!! When he gets tied up to tack up or un tack, he is fine at first, but then realizes he is attached to something, and freaks out and starts throwing his head and trying jumping around!!! Please help😬😬😧
LaurEquestrian My mare has a tendency to do this too. I’m not familiar with your situation but I don’t have a barn at the moment so I do all my tacking up/grooming with just a standard wood fence to tie to. What I’ve found helps is not actually tying her to the fence/tie ring etc, but instead just draping it over the fence or thru the tie ring, so that way if she does panic she’s not trapped and can get away immediately so I don’t have to try to untie her. I do that just because I don’t want me or her to get hurt, and if she were to continue to have traumatic experiences associated with being tied that wouldn’t help the situation at all. She hasn’t panicked being tied in a long time, and I still haven’t started actually tying her to something securely. She stands like she’s tied with just the lead rope hung over the fence. Another idea is to tie a loop of twine string to your tie ring and than tie your horse to the twine, so if he does panic he can break away before anyone gets hurt. Something I’ve also done is to feed my mare her grain or tie up a hay net while she’s tied so she has something to keep her occupied and to also build good associations with being tied, I think this has helped me and her the most. Again I don’t know your situation but I hope this can help!
how do I squeeze a horse to move on
annie swans it depends on how the horse was trained, but think about tightening your hamstrings. School horses may be a bit numb to that, and you may have to actually push your calves into their sides, and some just need a light kick.
@@TarynAnnTibble thank you so much!
I’m confused...I thought thumbs up and not piano hands?
