How do you work with a horse that is inclined to lift head and hollow out in transitions? atm I ask for low head carriage to maintain balance during the transition to canter, then I open the rein on the inside and ask for the strike then I gently take up more contact and use half-halts to bring horse up and into a more up-hill or rounded shape - depending on what stage they are at is how far I go. I try to bring them to a point which they can maintain themselves - not me holding it all together and they fall apart when I let everything go! Really enjoyed this video and your detailed commentary - thank you :-)
I have a similar question, My horse 's conformation is high necked, but he also likes to poke it up like a giraffe even higher, he is not really doing it in roder to avoid pain in the back so much as looking every which way to anything to disctract himself from work. Any advice?
This is very helpful. Now to teach me to teach my horse to follow my seat and lift the base of his neck!
Nice instruction. Love how he moves on a loose rein and seeing no nose band keeping his mouth shut ❤️
Mr King your lower leg equitation while riding is outstanding! Great video 👌
Thank you, Lisa!
Love the instruction with visuals, great way to learn. Thank you Patrick!
Excellent vidéo !
Super information!
Super information - thanks, Patrick!
Enjoyed the instruction. So important the distinction between lifting reins and pulling down .... I will check that in my riding.
4 beat canter is the story of my life
❤ thank you again.
Thank you so much for sharing you are most helpful. I hope meet you in person. Would love to attend clinics
Well done, timely for our current training. Thank you!
Thank you Patrick....very helpful!!
Thank you Patrick! Valuable info as always!
A superb explanation!
Nice Patrick! Thank you!
Love your videos, very informative and interesting
Hi Patrick. Love your video. I was wondering do you have a video/s that shows how to teach the horse to listen better to the seat aid?
This was very helpful thank you
Great advice Patrick, thank you. My rising 4years old mare needs this kind of work currently. Beautiful horse, I wonder what is the breeding?
He is a homebred Hanovarian, by Escudo II out of a Cardino mare
Thank you!
At about 7:30 you say you are lifting the neck. HOW does the rider lift the neck? Thank you.
