George Morris Clinic 2015

[@WldAbout]

Beautiful Horse and Great Ride! You rider very well!! Thank you for posting your video of your clinic!!

Mr. Morris is the best!

Wait a minute. If I am anchored and well balanced into my leg and get in 2 point, wouldn't I want to be slightly forward (cz I'm closing hip angle) as not to be behind the motion or vertical? I'm only completely vertical/ upright in a seated driving position. I rarely get left behind or jump ahead of my horse anymore (since riding more 2 point). Maybe there are varying degrees of forward? Consider the difference in style of hunters vs jumpers, too. Thx for feedback. Tim Trihey. Christina Fischer. Let's discuss and learn and not hate plz.

body forward heels down is possibly the worst instruction a rider can get - horses ending running away with the rider hanging on the horses head - Geroge is the most successful bad instructor - its pretty amazing really

[@christina15fish]

Why you gotta hate???? Move along...

[@ttrihe10]

because that canary song of body forward heels down carries all the way to Aus and get people hurt, and ruins riders - it pretty amazing really

[@horsluva0758]

disagree because all of his students are VERY successful :)

[@beautybybrandi2860]

Tim Trihey I think he was trying to to tell the riders what not to do

[@christina15fish]

Tim Trihey As the mother who took this video and have attended 2 Anne Kursinski Clinic, the both position he is describing is so that the rider goes with the motion of the horse and keeps the horse in front of the leg. When jumping, it creates a fluid movement. It's unfortunate you do not respect the talent of GM. He is an extremely accomplished rider as is Anne Kursinski who was his protege.

everyone is riding with spurs, is spurs really necessary?

[@emilymcthompson7411]

Yes. Spurs, a black stick, and a loose running martingales are mandatory dress code for GHM clinic.

MakeupKing141 I can't tell if your using sarcasm.... XD

[@horsluva0758]

most Olympians ride with spurs :)

[@beautybybrandi2860]

knittingkitten depends on the horse. some horses don't respond to leg without spurs so it can be necessary if you don't have time to train your horse

[@Troylol1]

beauty by brandi If you don't have time to train your horse, you don't have time for a horse 😊

[@jchorselove237]

i never understood why they have mirrors in the riding arena cause at my barns they don't have any

[@beautybybrandi2860]

Raining Eventer they are there so you can see how your eq is and help your position

[@jchorselove237]

[@emilysteckler8757]

[@WldAbout]

May I ask what kind of saddle you ride in? I have been having a hard time find a good one for my boy.... Thank you for your consideration.

[@horsejumping27]

+Erica Boling I ride in a CWD, not quite sure what exact model but I think it's an older 2Gs. Sorry it took me so long to reply! Hope you are having success saddle shopping though :)
