Debbie McDonald Teaching How to Start Passage

From the moment you pick up your reins and start the work your horse must be reactive and forward thinking. This video shows you that once you have established those two boundaries with your horse elevating the trot to develop the passage becomes very simple and quiet.
In developing the quiet and simple transition between the passage and the collected trot you will be schooling and elegant and effective passage for riding dressage in the show ring. Sustaining and developing the balance of the passage is key to the success of this exercise.

[@sophiaetzkorn4173]

It's a nice start, but I am really missing the release ...

[@ПетрИванов-р5о]

The title said how to start passage? Isn't this horse already know passage?its not near to be "started".or I'm wrong?

[@mrssille97]

thought the same.. Its more how to teach the rider how to passage

[@N.A.alchemist]

Agreed. Because I know for sure my horse won't start the passage if I just half halt him a bunch lol

[@Pferdecoach]

[@itsbevinallison]

I wish theyd correct get him more forward to allow him to totally come through and get his head above the virtacle... I don't car how little a horses head his behind, it is not through or correct.

So can any horse passage or do they need to be taught?

[@blaiseducdaumont1280]

Any European Warmblood with natural suspension in his trot should be able to learn the passage.

[@L.A.M]

Yeah! Today I did some steps of passage with a mare who is not a warm blood, she only has incredible movements

[@annekelecluse1204]

je hebt er een fan bij WOOOW!!!!

[@danielthomas3333]

Why does the horse have its chin on his chest?

[@crunchx3254]

I think it’s because they set the horse’s head so when you’re riding they can see their feet but I’m not completely sure.

[@nellwall7939]

So the horse can stretch over the top line!

Love Debbie, nice horse and nice rider but am tired of this fad of seeing horses completly behind the verticle. This doesn't need to be the case to achieve engagement of the hindquarters.

[@sarahmiller466]

Great athlete - poor training.

[@uiida]

How is she bad?

[@sarahmiller466]

The horse is rushed forward unable to coordinate the longissimus dorsi and multifidious muscles of the back to properly deal with the forces imposed on him. The horse is making up for it with great natural athletic ability.

[@lkgdaill7456]

Attention rectitude.
