I had heard about the training scale a long time ago but it went over my head and I did not connect the dots. But recently I listened to a training scale video and put it to work. Well......my horse used to have a lot of resistance going forward. I just focused on rhythm and then everything fell into place. She is very forward now, no longer mincey. Her stride is lovely. The training scale has been a game changer for us.

That makes me so happy to hear! The Training Scale is really the key to progress. Have you RSVP'd to my free webinar this weekend? I think you'd love it: amelianewcombdressage.com/free-training-scale-webinar/

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

You are so welcome!

I Trainings Scale is so, so important! So few people even realize that it’s the basis for everything in dressage. Thank you so much for the informative video! I am sending this to a number of my students.

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

That makes me so happy to hear that you're sharing it!

[@cdesserich7509]

I never really know what I should focus on when I ride so this gave me a great guide!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Awesome!

Great informative video. Reminder on starting your ride the right way. Thanks Amelia

[@pkchateau8654]

Thank you so much for this video! I am already a member of Strides and registered for the Webinar, but I really enjoyed this reminder that the training scale is helpful for planning goals for an individual lesson as well as the life-long training progression from green horse forward!

Thanks Amelia really appreciate this video. Using the training scale to warm up has been a ‘light bulb’ moment for me. More of the same ie using the training scale within the ride/lesson. Linda Clark 😊

I'm so glad it helped you Linda! Have you RSVP'd for my free webinar on the training scale this weekend? amelianewcombdressage.com/free-training-scale-webinar/

[@helengauperaa4319]

I've not come across a working example of this before, how to apply the scale like this. It was so insightful, thank you so much for this. I have signed up for the webinar!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

You're very welcome! You're going to love the webinar! See you sunday!

[@cherisesingh426]

Thanks so much for your video. Im currently trying to get my circles better 😅

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

haha we're all on that stage! Have you saved your seat for my free webinar this weekend? amelianewcombdressage.com/free-training-scale-webinar/

[@Clarke_Girls]

Brilliant video thank you! Ive been working my horse now for a year, hes only 5 but still he seems to get nowhere! 😂 My main problem is he trots very fast and if i try to slow it he falls horribly behind the bit. So i push him forward and he trots like a standardbred😂. With his head in the air! Please help. I really would like a steady trot whilst him pushing the bit forward?

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Great question! Remember that contact and connection come after rhythm and suppleness on the training scale, so it's more important to prioritize those elements first. Are you coming to my free webinar on the training scale? I'm going over problem solving just like this, would love to have you there. amelianewcombdressage.com/free-training-scale-webinar/

[@Clarke_Girls]

@@AmeliaNewcombDressage yes will definitely be there thank you!!

[@milkmaid4077]

I really wish students would accept this concept. But I find so often their whole goal is canter, canter, canter and lateral work.... (shakes hed and sighs) So commonly heard, "why do I have to do so many circles?, why so many transitions? I just want to get to the canter....

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Tell them to come to my free webinar! I go over why and how it works! amelianewcombdressage.com/free-training-scale-webinar/

[@orsolyafrank573]

Amelia, this is super helpful, as are indeed all your videos. Yet there is something really silly I still struggle with, even though I am not a beginner: in the canter if my seat is glued to the saddle and I follow the motion - my ankles will come up and I lose my stirrps; or if I keep my stirrups and my legs are long, my waist turns stiff and I get to stand up or bounce. It is either , or. Either I am correct below the knee or above, but I can't co-ordinate the two sections. Any ideas? I know it sounds like really silly beginner stuff, but there is no helping the fact that I still have this problem. (Sometimes, and at other times some inspiration takes me, particularly when I am out on the trail... and then it is gone again...) Any tips or ideas? Thank you so much!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

I have a whole free course on the canter that I think will help you better understand and address this with videos and explanations (rather than me writing you an essay). amelianewcombdressage.com/canter-with-confidence-o/

[@catroy210]

I have a mare who travels like this horse… wants to over flex at the pole and come behind the bit. You mention that in this video, but can you talk about that in another video? My instructor has me bump her forward from leg (or stick if she doesn’t show a change in moving forward) or lengthen the stride in the gait.

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

I do! Try this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKCnZ4Rtpr5lh8U and then you should come to my free webinar this weekend, I go into it in more detail! amelianewcombdressage.com/canter-with-confidence-o/
