ABOUT PATRICK KING:
Like you, Patrick seeks to be an eternal student of the horse and the horsemen that have come before him - and he feels it is his duty to share the knowledge that he has gained along his journey. Throughout the year, he travels around helping people and their horses through his clinics, camps, workshops, and expo demonstrations. His students are of all levels and disciplines, from Grand Prix Dressage riders to more casual riders that aren’t interested in competing but are still very serious about their horsemanship. What Patrick teaches is not so much an exercise or drill, as so many other clinicians and trainers teach, but a feel. It’s a feel that becomes a connection and a synchronicity of two minds and two bodies, the horse and the human.
From classical dressage masters to old time vaqueros, Patrick’s teachers and mentors have afforded him layers of insight and experience that enable him to bridge the gap between foundation training and advanced horsemanship.

Nice instruction. Love how he moves on a loose rein and seeing no nose band keeping his mouth shut ❤️

[@hilawever5385]

Love the instruction with visuals, great way to learn. Thank you Patrick!

❤ thank you again.

[@jackiedejoe956]

Enjoyed the instruction. So important the distinction between lifting reins and pulling down .... I will check that in my riding.

Super information!

This is very helpful. Now to teach me to teach my horse to follow my seat and lift the base of his neck!

Hi Patrick. Love your video. I was wondering do you have a video/s that shows how to teach the horse to listen better to the seat aid?

[@derekedwards5561]

Thank you!

[@lisacarter3610]

Mr King your lower leg equitation while riding is outstanding! Great video 👌

[@PatrickKingHorsemanship]

Thank you, Lisa!

[@lisafischer8993]

At about 7:30 you say you are lifting the neck. HOW does the rider lift the neck? Thank you.

[@redybeau]

Super information - thanks, Patrick!

Great advice Patrick, thank you. My rising 4years old mare needs this kind of work currently. Beautiful horse, I wonder what is the breeding?

[@princetondressage]

He is a homebred Hanovarian, by Escudo II out of a Cardino mare

4 beat canter is the story of my life

[@kathycaligiuri9510]

Thank you Patrick....very helpful!!

[@JCV-kd1sy]

Love your videos, very informative and interesting

[@catherinesomerville2005]

How do you work with a horse that is inclined to lift head and hollow out in transitions? atm I ask for low head carriage to maintain balance during the transition to canter, then I open the rein on the inside and ask for the strike then I gently take up more contact and use half-halts to bring horse up and into a more up-hill or rounded shape - depending on what stage they are at is how far I go. I try to bring them to a point which they can maintain themselves - not me holding it all together and they fall apart when I let everything go! Really enjoyed this video and your detailed commentary - thank you :-)

[@christinelaporte7880]

I have a similar question, My horse 's conformation is high necked, but he also likes to poke it up like a giraffe even higher, he is not really doing it in roder to avoid pain in the back so much as looking every which way to anything to disctract himself from work. Any advice?

[@christinas907]

This was very helpful thank you

[@kathleendowns1]

A superb explanation!

[@ann-cathrinecroona8361]
