Hey! I have a question. When I'm at a horse riding lesson and there's a horse infront of me, my horse goes infront of the horse infront of me to its bum and when we are trotting or walking I don't know how to get him away so can you help me?

As a former western and english rider as a kid, I totally agree with your statement that good riding is good riding no matter the discipline. Way back in the late 60s I rode my Arab both in hunt seat and western pleasure. In the beginning of 1970 I transitioned to an appendix QH, with whom I did green and regular working hunter and jumpers. I sold that horse (great horse), went back to college for a couple of years then bought an Appy who I rode english and western pleasure. I subsequently moved to Virginia with the Appy who took to jumping like he'd been doing it his whole life. School, work and marriage intervened and I had a couple of horseless years but couldn't stay away and when wd moved to PA, I took up eventing, then finally just dressage. I have been horrified to see what western pleasure has become because as I look at videos our horses back then had real gaits not some gimpy looking horses slogging their way around the ring. Walks, trots/jogs, canters/lopes were were very similar and all looked quite comfortable to ride, especially when you were taught the basics of good riding. Am glad to see the move away from the current hellish version of western pleasure. Thanks so much for showing this video!

Thank you for using more gentle music in this video. It makes such a difference in my ability to watch.

I have a question that isn’t related to canter but I think you would have some good tips for me. I am starting to learn about haunches in and it is a new concept for me and my horse. Do you have any good tips for me that would be helpful in our training? Our main problem is that we can get it so it is ok on the right direction but when I’m going to the left he tends to get stuck.

Best!🎉 the best explanation and overhead view!❤

Still try to be silent with my reins and to use them purposely with leg and seat. Also need to wait more for it to be a conversation… so yes guilty …

Is this a lusitanian?

On the 5 strides you are half halting, do you giving leg aid? Or release the leg pressure? Thank you so much for such a great video!.)

This was so helpful to see!! Thank you!! Working on this currently!!

Really liked this, thank you!

Great video again, Very good way to show stuff in slow motion. I think I am the one Wich moves to much, especialy if I get the feel of to slow canter. I know this Is a different topic, but I really likes your elbous. How do you do it?

👹💀😤🥑😈👿👄👄👮👮

Do we have to have the music??? Please…. I can’t hear what you are saying. ❤❤❤

Correct me if I'm wrong, her shoulder fores were on four tracks versus three? Maybe it doesn't matter?

Thank you for this, I'm new to Advanced Medium in NZ, and I've been riding the renvers part of the movement with far too much bend. So actually not renvers at all so it seems.... Wonderful explanation and video to sink into my pea brain. Looking forward to practicing this now. Thank you so much.

I was reading about the Mongolian steppes, the people who lived there domesticated horses and developed bridles, bits and saddles, this led to reading about dressage, which led me to your video! Learned quite a bit.

Watch western pleasure style with arabian or half arabian horses. This frame some of them I mean top riders is brilliant!

Quick question, do you know if you can do some sort of video of teaching an energetic, squiggly horse to stand still in cross ties? I have a new horse, but she’s not really use to cross ties. If not it’s totally fine!

My horse was she was born and I have been riding 8 years old Nanette

My horse is a jumping horse is that to old to jump my horse she is 11year old Nanette is this want I'm doing to get my horse round Nanette

I Benning my horse and I'm doing great and she is been and getting round and I'm benn a round cone Nanette

Thanks Amelia. Always motivational.

Loved this video! Thanks so much.

Trying to not nag. Getting better!!

Why would I ever want my horses head behind vertical?

I was hoping to get more commentary on differences in the style of riding. For example, riding with a loose rein vs riding with contact.

Does my horse need to be round and on the bit to work on suppleness?

Also a great trick for a posting trot!

excellent description and view of both exercises! thank you, Amelia and German.

If my mare does get faster when I try to lengthen the rein, what do you suggest?

I school at first level but we practice/try higher level movements like shoulder in. I was told to keep outside leg at the girth to push the shoulders over and inside leg behind the girth to keep the haunches on the wall. Is this wrong? I was told that the reins would only flex the head to the inside and the outside leg is needed at the girth to push the shoulders over. Dressage is so hard because I get conflicting information like this and where to weight your seat, at the inside bend or on the outside when practicing lateral movements.

Ordered and paid for a Pivo through "The Dressage Academy," but havent received it. Its been a month.

Excellent video!

Awesome looking. So sexy and so gorgeous. Your tall tight boots are perfect and I love seeing to tops of your white socks just inside the tops of your boots.

Why is this movement ridden with the outside leg back?

I know what i am asking has nothing to do with this lol but on posting trot we have a diagonal right, so we are supposed to rise up when the outside leg swings out, but does that mean that when they bounce that is when their outside leg goes out? Anyone who knows PLEASE tell me!

Also it helps also when you trying to ride without saddle....

This was so clear and looks very difficult to ride correctly. I’d love to try it ! We're a long way from being able to ride it but I'd like to attempt it. Thanks for an excellent video. Germán taught so well and Caine rode so well too1

The part in the Renverse where Herman says "the hips keep coming to this corner". Is he talking about the corner he is standing next to or the other corner to the left of our screen? Trying to understand where the energy of the horse is. is it on the left front shoulder when he is bending right in renverse? Watching a lot of Phillipe Karl. Trying to really understand which quarter of the horse the energy is and where my balance should be. Thank you! Super super video, super good timing for me as I went to bed trying to visualize this exact exercise. Thank you so much for all the time you put into these

That was great! I love how her horse stretches his neck down at the end, he's so nice and relaxed.
