How To Teach Your Horse To Trot Big | Dressage Tutorial | Begijnhoeve | How To #14

[@alicev3033]

I don’t have a big fancy horse bred for Dressage, I have a 14.3hh part bred who had a foal last year. I broke her in my self she’s still understanding schooling but my dream is to have a Dressage horse, so I thought why don’t I do it my self! These videos are helping me understand so much and my pony is learning new things and taking to it so well. I watch these videos when I’m home all day and wow it does help soo much.. so well done keep making theses amazing videos with your beautiful horses.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thanks ! Always really nice te read such comments ☺️

[@pamelavendetti1844]

Wow, gorgeous! I have a big bay PRE Mare who is so smart I must constantly make small changes. She’s a bit like “I’ve got this mom. I’m taking over control!” I find your videos so helpful AND quite inspirational. Would love to see a video on bringing horses along in dressage who weren’t started correctly. How to progress and what to expect in re-training.

[@LizDressage]

I watched your video this morning, and tried your technique a few hours later with my 6 yo Dutch mare. I think I was able to improve her trot cadence and expression. She had fun with it and enjoyed being able to move out so thank you for sharing this. I will continue to build on what I achieved today.

Thanks for your nice words 🤗

[@dressagegirl13]

Thank you for these videos that can be applied to lower levels. It really shows the progress of working the transitions within the trot. It's nice to see how her trot gets more expressive through the video as she starts to get it.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thanks! Happy to hear that. 🤗

[@acceptingWhatIS]

thank you for sharing - your time energy knowledge and space - this was very easy to understand and i went out and practised it.

I don’t have a horse but I just finished the movie Django and wanted to see how they taught his horse to trot like this.

You make this so easy, so effortless. How do you keep so solid and balanced in the saddle?

Great video. When you say give leg what part of your leg are you using most? Thigh, knee, calf?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

The calf part 😎

absolutely love and appreciate ur videos especially the how to

[@amyrose9775]

Wow I just found your channel and I’m totally obsessed I think I binged watched almost all your videos in 24 hours. I’m so thankful that they are in English, loving the videos From all the way in Colorado USA. It’s is so helpful to watch you ride the less experienced horses so many videos they are show how to start changes or what ever movements but the horses clearly already know them inside and out. I really think you have the best videos for dressage out there. I have a few videos ideas I would love to see. Lessons I think it might be helpful to see you teach maybe more of an amateur riding, in the beginning stages of upper leave work. You guys are such incredible Riders it can be tough to imagine ever being anywhere close to as good as you lol. I would love to see a video on what you are looking for in your un started 2/3 year olds and why. I’m sure I will think of more. Thank you again for taking the time! You both are amazing and totally inspiring.. off to practice my “ big trot”

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thank you so much what a lovely words ☺️. Also thanks for your input 😎💪🏻

[@sterlingmorningstar967]

Why is the horse's mouth so foamy? (I know very little about horses.)

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

That means she is chewing on the bit and accepting it. Its a good sign

[@andreeacosareanu401]

Exceptional!!!!! Always such an inspiring video

[@newimagetc]

I have a 11 YO Arab gelding that I have just started training in medium trot which I am having difficulty in him sitting enough and lifting the front. So I have been doing shoulder in the half halt to bigger slower trot across a short diagonal line. So looking forward to trying your technique. If you have any other suggestions that you think would be helpful since Arabs tend to not sit very well, that would be appreciated. Thanks for the lovely demonstration.

[@audreybreuls9117]

English, english, more information in english... all of a sudden 'Braaaafff!' 🤯 Where did the English go? 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes true but everyone understand the reward sound lol

How do you Make them raise their legs higher? Please show the writing in the vídeo, I AM Spanish native speaker.

Omg!! I was literally just looking up "inspiration photos" to help me with designing my barn/indoor arena, and I totally recognize this one!! I saved literally every picture I could find lol I had an inkling it was the same barn at the very beginning, but then at 3:06, when you pass by the hanging lights I confirmed! Lol Gorgeous barn!! (Gorgeous horse, too 🙂) Heh. Small world.

[@ingeagterberg872]

Echt heerlijk om naar te kijken en lijkt zo simpel MAAR dat is het niet. Ik heb een 6 jarige Bojengel van 1.80, hij wil graag wat groot draven en galoppeert steeds aan als ik hem kleiner wil en vanuit achter aan wil vullen. Wat te doen???

[@RideWithMe14]

i’m currently working on a horse that hasn’t been ridden for a while due to the owners conditions, he still knows all the basics and is such a good boy but i wanna get to a point with him where i can impress his owner and show her what he’s capable of, he’s so trainable but gets disgraced bless him. this video will definitely come in handy ❤️❤️

[@Justjack613]

Can you do a video on how to teach abd get medium trot without the horse just going faster and falling on the forehand please ? 💞

[@selenajohnson1657]

What is the queue you use for the trot? Once in trot what queue did you use for the bigger trot? I'm at the fine tuning stage of retaining an #Ottb in dressage.I squeeze twice on the right leg to go into trot. Is that right?

[@JavierBonillaC]

Wonderful video, thank you.

[@emyrtan]

Whoooo my teacher did teach me today like this, superrr!

[@arielchang9934]

What exactly your hands and fingers did when you said “soft my hand “ and “open my hand” ? Love your channel, really helpful

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Like when u squeeze a soft ball so u can squeeze and u can relax that’s when I open my hand.

Hi Tommie and Rob! I love your videos!!They inspire me to work and solve problems, so thank you! I am working on a six-year-old horse that is a little delayed for his age. Practicing this technique the trot begins to be more expressive but, I feel that the horse is a little on its shoulders, How do you think I could improve this? Thank you!

[@Aleksysexy]

Heyy! Ik had een vraagje dit zou aan mij kunnen liggen maar als ik iets van veruiming probeer met mijn paard dan gaat hij aleen maar harder en maakt geen grotere passen kan ik wat in deze video als probeersel toepassen of is daar ook nog iets voor

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Hoi meestal is dat het paard nog onvoldoende aam het been is. Wanneer je paard leert dat het been een grotere pas betekend een daarvoor uiteraard de kracht moet ontwikkelen komt dat meestal ‘vanzelf’ geduld en tijd is het antwoord 😇

[@spaziocasainterioare1656]

Hello! Thank you for sharing this video. I am looking at it again, and again as love it :) I think my horse , Lord Byron, is ready now for learning what you describe. My question is: can i teach him in posting trot as well? Unfortunately i felt off and had a break of 1 year (I broke my lombar vertebrae) So, i am riding since 5 months or so and my seating trot is still an open issue. I can ride easily but in posting trot. Looking froward into your kind answer when you have a bit of time. Thank you again so much!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Well I don’t know what posting trot is 🤣

[@neeleywilson403]

Very helpful 👍

[@evonnehart4032]

Thank you for your tutorials. Very helpful..! I have a gelding who only wants to go forward.. wants to run through the hand and over react to the leg. Any suggestions?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Did you see the other videos abou transitions and the contact? That is practically how I train to make the horses wait. Fanatique is also a horse who only wants to go.... teach the horses first to wait so practice that u can put your hands forward without the horse going forward if so make a transition to walk halt en repeat 1.... x times 🤪 until he want to wait en than forward on the leg. With the legs if they over react it’s good to keep them on first until they relax. Now i am writing this you just give me a good idea for a new video.... How to use your legs. Thanks! 😎

[@evonnehart4032]

@@Begijnhoeve_official Thank you for the reply! I took away the spur and keeping the leg on gently. This is helping. He is so reactive I have to push more slowly.. :))!

No questions Tommie, just 🙏🏻 for sharing!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Dank je wel! En graag gedaan 😁

[@animallover4101]

Wow !!!

[@jean6006]

When you ask her to lengthen the stride. What is the ideal feeling in the reins? Is it becoming lighter or slightly fuller in the reins?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

The goal is that she stay light to keep the freedom in de gates and frame. As I thought I mention in the video. When they become strong in the contact than you go back to transitions and other basic stuff to make it supple again and continue the trot after.

[@jean6006]

I watched it a few times. You did mention that she becomes lighter yes. I have a horse in training that becomes fuller in the reins, without getting heavier which, results in him having a slighter longer length of stride in the trot. Thank you for all the magnificent work. Greetings from South Africa

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

As long as it still is light enough I think it’s good 😁

[@sandra4equifino52]

@@jean6006 Not sure how I got here, but I feel the need to “say” something:) You are very right, the feel in the rein should be fuller, not heavier, but because one really important part of a quality extension is a change in frame, meaning the horse stretches its frame forward. If you do not feel more of a lovely contact in the rein, something isn’t right:)

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

@equifino well the video isn’t about extended trot.... but you are right in extended trot the frame needs to extend. But in any case in my opinion it will look more beautiful when the horse moves on their own legs as much as possible! If u see my other video’s about the contact u will see that I do not want the horse go off the bit and also seek the hand all the time in all exercises without pulling. I just don’t like it if riders push and pull their horses into a big trot 😇

[@trousseau_ideal487]

Should l be worried about head position? When I give leg the horse pushes with the legs but also lifts his head up.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Well in the beginning I don’t mind.when I lose the control I go back to easy transitions like I did in the previous video’s. I know I wasn’t clear enough in the introduction. I did make a few video’s about how to make a nice contact an transitions etc. So that comes first before I start doing this! Good luck ☺️

[@trousseau_ideal487]

@@Begijnhoeve_official omg I tried the tutorial...my horse already have good trot but I feel more powerful jump after serval trials and it was only first lesson. omg how are you doing it???

Ik kan me voorstellen dat voor een minder sensibel/heet paard de aanpak wellicht iets anders is?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Nee deze is juist enorm sensibel..... juist met de sensibele paarden belangrijk dat ze leren wat het been betekent om de rust in de beweging te krijgen! 😁

[@marismaris7359]

Ja dat is duidelijk te zien! Ik bedoel juist met een minder sensibel paard 😊
