How to train a young horse, part two | Begijnhoeve | How to #7

A while ago we made a video about how to train a young horse. In this video, we continue the dressage training with Le Premier Begijnhoeve. Rob trains with Le Premier three sometimes four times a week. As we are building his strength Rob focuses on 4 things this time. Curious? Go watch the video. And if you would like to watch the first How to ride a young horse video… check our How to… playlist: • HOW TO
In this new series of videos, we’ll dive into the vision of training dressage at the Begijnhoeve! We are going to show you step by step how we educate our dressage horses and will provide you tips and tricks.

[@kaoruko-w3y]

your wonderful and beautiful videos ,Thank you so much . your comment about anatomy bridle gave me a big chance. I tried a micklem bridle ( same type ) with my Kwpn boy . It was amazing． I felt he came so close to me and he looked happier. I'll try next lesson again. My instructor is worrying about in lateral work( half pass, I' m learning now ), it may be difficult for me with this bridle ,because my boy may be collected to much. I hope we can make it! Your riding is my dreaming one.

Mooi hoofdstel! Zelfs voor een (beginner )zoals ik. Is dit een heel leerzaam filmpje. Ik ga van de week oefenen om mijn paard actiever te rijden. Ik heb op het ogenblik het probleem dat hij na dat we in galop zijn geweest. Hij gaat rennen in draf. Ik moet hem dan eerst weer rustig krijgen. Valt niet mee! Mooi filmpje weer! Erg leerzaam.

mooie video weer mannen. En wat doet hij het al goed Rob{Le Premier}Hij luisterd in ieder geval wel goed naar stem commando,s, ja dat viel me op. Maar wat loopt dat paard al mooi zeg , ja voor zijn 4 jaar pas, dat beloofd wat voor de toekomst. Tpch fijn. Soms of eigenlijk best vaak maken jullie video,s wee dat de ruiters die dresuur rijden zo wat tips kunnen krijchen, soms of eigenlijk best wel vaak geven jullie video,s, bij mij de zin om weer te gaan paardrijden,(gewoon voor rekreatie) Maar als ik zie hoe snel die paarden gaan, ook al kan je dat natuurlijk absoluut niet met manege paarden vergelijden (bedoel er is niets mis met manege paarden). Maar ja helaas geen manege bij mij in de buurt. Ik heb weer van de video genoten en bedankt daarvoor.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx Margo 🤗

[@jananovotna1131]

Hi Rob! You are such an amazing rider! So sensitive and gently! So I've noticed on your videos" how to riding a young horse" that when you want to do a circle, your horse is looking a little bit outside, am I right? So I have problem with my youngster to do circles,because he want to go away from a circle in the space, where is exit from the training hall 🙄 please could you give me an advice how to do it better and learn it in a correct way 😊 Thanks a lot! Have a great day and thx for your videos

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx! When I want to correct a bit more and I ride the shoulder more inside sometimes I keep my horse looking a bit outside. When my horse wants to do the opposite i keep the head more inside and steer the shoulder outside with my outside rein. Does this help ? 🙈

[@alexp.4764]

veryyyy nice riding:-)!!!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx 😎

[@alexp.4764]

@@Begijnhoeve_official Have you ever trained a youngster that is extremly spooky? I have a five-year old that I broke myself when he was 3 but he is very dangerous as when he spooks he bolts and I have already got bucked off many times. This is my first youngster that is so spooky, I have never had such a horse in the past and I've broken many. He doesn't spook only under saddle but also when lunged or walked in hand. The strange thing is that he is not a fowardthinking horse and you always need to remind him to go forward. Any tips?

[@Shan0non]

Super leuke en leerzame video! Mooi om te zien hoe rustig je alles aanpakt met hem. Deze video’s helpen zeker bij het opleiden van mijn jonge paard van 3. Zou je daar ook een keer een video van willen maken? Een video over 3 jarige paarden en net zadelmak hoe je die opbouwt in de training enz? Denk dat ik daar ook veel aan zal hebben ☺️

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Dank je wel! Ja dat is een goed idee gaan we doen💪🏻

[@equestrianvlog7823]

I love your videos but I wonder how do you get your young horse to canter with rider without you get throw of.😅😄I’m waiting for a video on KZbin to how to do that but it have never happened so hope you guys can do that😄

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

😅 Well keep riding forward ! We dont ride the horses ourselves in the very beginning

[@lizzibizzi7901]

I really love your 'how to' videos. How do you teach a 4-year-old a flying change? I think it makes absolutely sense to teach such concepts really early to have already a base later in the training.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

It depends really on the horse how the balance is! When I do it with a 4 year old it’s always just for ‘fun’ not like it needs to be perfect or so!

[@lizzibizzi7901]

@@Begijnhoeve_official But how do you explain such a young horse the fying change if the don't know counter canter or leg-yields or even proper canter-walk-canter transitions yet? Could be a new 'How to' video ;)

[@audreybreuls9117]

Hi guys! Nice video again! Could you make a specific video on how to keep a nice, soft and steady contact with your horse? Or how you practice that? Mine is often in and out. Sometimes strong, other times very soft. It's difficult in riding because the contact constantly changes. Due to this, his head also moves a lot. More up, more down, in front of the vertical, behind the vertical... Urgh, it's such a strugle sometimes. Would love your insights about this!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Hi we have a video about this. It’s in the how to play list on our Chanel ☺️

[@amandawhittaker8330]

Wondering if you can give me a couple of pointers? I have a youngster who has been backed since September. Shes going great all things considered. The problem I have mainly is transitioning in to canter. It's very difficult for her to do. She is heavy on the shoulder and isn't light enough to jump up into canter and her balance isn't there yet. I've had a few suggestions from others which i have tried with a pinch of salt and I certainly do not want to go down the route of lots of whipping. Lots of leg just makes her faster and unbalanced and we always end up on the wrong canter lead. She gets frustrated easy and cant maintain canter for very long. Partly it's her size she is pretty big and very muscular which I think is getting in the way of her flexibility. I know it's hard without actually seeing us riding. But any pointers would be greatly appreciated. As the more I try the faster she shuts down, but only in the canter her trot and walk work is really going well. Many thanks.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Ai yes thats hard to estimate like this. With a young horse you sometimes just keep trotting more and more forward untill they “fall” into canter. The head position is not important. Just dont pull. Sometimes going straight instead of a circle makes it easier for a youngster to canter, sometimes the other way around 😅 Good luck 💪🏻💪🏻

[@amandawhittaker8330]

Thank you for that. I will deffinately give it a go. As I have been slowing her down for the bends, I wont next time!, Thankyou

[@loredelore7286]

Why do you have him flexed to the outside?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Sometimes when a horse is not straight you can take him off the outside shoulder more easily. Next step is to have a bit of bending to the inside and still have him on two reins

[@saskiadebruyn4555]

Echt zo interessant weer!😁 Ben ook heel benieuwd hoevaak jullie de 4 jarige paarden trainen? (rijden of longeren)

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Haha zie einde video 😉

[@rickvanklaveren1575]

Wat voor teugels gebruiken jullie zien er fijn uit!?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

[@jaynfontain6635]

Sir, your horse's hind end is out behind like a caboose; if you didn't have good moving horses you would be riding 4s. Learn to help them raise their shoulder by stepping up from behind and stop riding them behind the bridle. Your current riding is the kind that breaks the horse down. You need to build him up. Edit: Also, why is your browband stuck up and pinching your horses ear? That is just sloppy. He was better after the canterwork

[@chrisduc1]

How old are your horse???? What’s young??? And in my opinion , by the second horse , you allow him to go into canter even that you do not want it.....that’s not good education for a young horse, I always insisted on what I want from my horse.... from the beginning on. Even if you let a 3year old horse run free inside our hall. I insist on always run on one hand .. 5 min left 5 min rights.mostly we have been two guys for better control. They learned quickly to run always on one hand! Good education as well for free jumping further on

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Good for you 😉 we just show you the way which works for us and we explain why. If you dont like this approach than do something else. Thats the beauty of dressage, there are multiple solutions for everything 💁🏻‍♂️

[@chrisduc1]

That’s right ! There are multiple ways ....💪✊

[@lindadendekker3370]

Mooi! Erg mooi. Vraag: wat is de reden voor het stukje bont aan het hoofdstel onder de kaak van je knappe paard?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Gewoonte ! Bij dit hoofdstel niet perse nodig. Voor andere hoofdstellen is het om geen drukkingen te krijgen onder de kin. Leer kan daar soms wat dubbel zitten bv

Please make a video where you explain riding the shoulders and thereby straightening the horse; what I heard you say is that you ride the shoulder where the horse is heavy in the contact… please explain the zigzag riding in more depth how is it helping the contact by riding the shoulders…?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thanks we will. 💪🏻

[@thrust461]

Do u still warm up on the lunge at this point .. I would some days and other days I wouldn’t depending on the horse that day .!?!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Depends on the horse and rider. When you feel safe and you can do a decent warm up with the horse I shouldn’t lunge him anymore

Do you use cavaletti in your training of young horses? If so, what exercises and when do you start?
