How To Make Your Horse Think More Forward | Dressage Tutorial | Begijnhoeve | How to #15

In todays video Rob and Fabiola Begijnhoeve share one of their dressage training sessions with you. Fabiola is in training for the Grand Prix. Rob start with the warming-up ofcourse. Even in the walk he will keep her very active. He doesn't push her with his leg and doesn't mind where her head is. Just stir the shoulder. When the starts with trot and canter, his advice is to just focus on how to make your horse more responsive to your leg. How to keep her thinking forward. In the Canter it is important to keep the variation. In the half hold - don't use your leg. When she comes back, put your hands forward and give leg. Really Cut those actions apart. When you have got t under control then minimize the time between.

"Short in the back and not in the neck" 💪💪

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

We should put that line on a tile somewhere 😜

[@melissab7752]

Great video! Lovely rider. Will be trying some of this on my mare 👌🏻

[@guilainerehberg6631]

I really like your „how to“ Videos, very instructive. Thank´s for your precise explanation, I will explain it as precise to my Mare 🙃

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Always nice to hear! Good luck with practicing 💪🏻

[@kmohegan]

Incredibly addictive learning from you all

[@user-fl9os4zq7s]

Well done

[@karolienvanzijderveld3261]

Great video with points of attention when riding a long and not so hot horse ! There are a lot of tips I very well can use in my training. Thanks a lot for another "how to" video; they are much appreciated and especially like the positive and simple attitude !

[@allisonhulley5970]

Fabiola is doing so well! So beautifully ridden Rob👏🏻. I love how relaxed she was throughout and as you asked more and more she just flowed into it. Very helpful to me with my horse to be reminded of these things or shown how to do it better, or how it is done👍🏻

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thanks ☺️

[@erica_writes_isla]

So helpful! I love how light in the bridle you stay you are. I hate getting on a horse who looks to hang on heavy contact to gt anything done. Can't wait to try some of this with my lease horse!

[@joflood]

Thank you so much for the very clear words and showing it so clearly with Fabiola also. You have answered some of the questions I had floating around in my head such as - do I worry about my horse's frame right away or just start work and let the frame improve itself... And to clarify the half halt so well, showing the splitting of the aids and showing also the slow canter that you get if you don't put leg on. I would love to have a how to on - "improving jump in the canter" :) Thanks again guys

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

[@JoGreen-xd8dx]

Great instruction. Do you use both legs or alternatively use of leg for more walk ?

[@aj-kh7iw]

Wauww🤩

[@gabysmulders1819]

🤩👍🏼

[@theoldhorseladylejeune3662]

Erg leerzame video! Mijn paard racete gisteren tijdens de galop. Terwijl hij normaal echt lui is. En uit galop valt. Dus ik ga aan de slag met lekker voorwaarts galop en dan een beetje minder gas. En vice versa. Dank je wel Rob!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

[@joekevandermei7459]

Super gereden!

Dank je 😁

[@mariebeach3505]

Hi Tommie & Rob. HUGE fan of yours. I have a beautiful belgian warmblood by Parco. He is short coupled and has mainly showjumped. I'm trying to re-train him for dressage but it's difficult teaching him to lengthen. In the canter he prefers to bounce upwards rather than going forward and opening out his frame. His trot also starts of short and gradually opens out. Any tips for these type of horses?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

First of all, Thnx !! Difficult to judge but it sounds like your horse is not thinking enough forward. Maybe try go forward on a cantertrack or in the woods for a while first ? If he goes forward more naturally it might be easier to make him more responsive to your leg

[@mariebeach3505]

@@Begijnhoeve_official sounds like a plan! Thank you and please release another video soon!!!

[@Gabiiy1991]

Duidelijke uitleg! Kunnen jullie ook een video maken voor wanneer je paard juist snel van het achterbeen af loopt en op de voorhand komt?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Kunnen we eens proberen

[@sandramirjam7725]

Heerlijk om naar te kijken, genieten. En superleerzaam. Wat voor zadel ligt er op Fabiola? 🦄🤍

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Een Custom zadel. Ik geloof een Omni

[@barbaramurua6124]

👍🎩

[@kiss_aegis]

I love how he didn't interfere with her head and how she carried herself. Can I just intern there for a year? 😅

[@davidcarter3049]

I find it very impressive how clear and precise you communicate to her what you are wanting.. there‘s an old horse expression in England “tell a gelding , ask a mare , discuss with a stallion.” Does your precision work with all the horses in the same way, or do you have to adapt it?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thx ! Every horse need his own approach but the principles stay the same

[@miekerabou3670]

Leerzaam! Lastig hier is de controle op de activiteit. Het reageren op been gaat inmiddels stuk beter maar dan de cruisecontrol aanzetten….een hele uitdaging…

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Haha ja dat blijft moeilijk 🤪. Daarom zo leuk omdat het een uitdaging blijft 😉

[@eliseswietek1688]

Where can I find the video on how to control the shoulder?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

We have a How To Playlist

[@JudySumCatcenterfolds]

Has She ever been Bred? She is really got the Talent! Beautiful Mare! Fairwinds!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Yes ! We have a great 3 year old Toto jr out of her now 🤗

[@JudySumCatcenterfolds]

Will be looking forward to the future! Fairwinds!

[@MrTs26]

When you say slow with your seat what do you mean?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Like you ride a slower rhythm with your seat. Or with Rising Trot if that is easier for you

[@ridinglessons1605]

"When I give leg one time...." this is what Americans need to hear.

[@larryhinson8736]

It's alright for them to foam up that way while working them and showing them as well.

[@astarebenichoudhury5930]

Yea it's totally fine it means the horse's mouth is relaxed

[@Miss-Laine]

My goodness, what a beautiful animal. How old is she?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

12 now 🤠

[@JeanPaul-eu5tn]

I really like her she walks like Naomi Campbell …. But better and sweeter bless 🙏🏾 ….. I like your breeches where are they from. Your bum looks good’ 😊 I would like to get some! 👍🏾

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Animo Breeches 👌🏻

[@catherineiselin]

Too restrictive.
