Wow--What a connection!
UNBELIEVABLE! This girl riding the horse is in her 20's. Her dad just died 24 days before this performance. You can hear her dedication to him just before her performance so turn up your speakers a bit. Notice that it is just her and the horse - no bit, no saddle. She just uses signals and verbal cues, she says nothing. Oh yeah, this isn't even her horse. She is training it for someone else, although she obviously has a relationship with this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdhdaNFGbro |

although it is a western show she is showing the basic ideas behind dressage. The movements of the horse should be controlled with the seat and leg aids primarily and lastly the rein aids. Always ride back to frontnever front to back since that will inhibit the forward motion of the horse. We often have a few "western riders and horses" come and try a little musical freestyle with us dressage riders and it is always nice to see that although we have different styles we are all generally using similar training principles.  |
