Loved the video especially when you demonstrated on the ground how a new horse might be shown what to do. It definitely makes it easier when applying the rules as it shows it in a big picture mode. Many Thanks 🤩

Leg yielding is a suppling exercise, but not a TRUE 'lateral' exercise, as to be a true lateral exercise, there must be bend (through the whole body).....a proper leg yield is done without bend throughout the body or the neck. I generally teach leg yield with flexion at the poll but very little, if any, bend in the neck at all. As you said, it is too easy to get too much bend and have the horse popping out at the shoulder (or indeed, running through the shoulder and outside rein, an easy fix though!). Once my students learn to keep the quality of trot throughout and correctly control the shoulder with their outside rein, they do very well in this basic movement. Love your videos by the way and you're a lovely rider!

Thank you for a great lesson! The horse and the rider are moving in harmony and balance. I wish there were more trainers like that.

Great insight into dressage, this is my favourite discipline. Good work!

[@barbarajeanmartin1898]

SO MANY THANKS for these videos!

[@lizzie9173]

What the difference between flexion and bend ? Please.

[@BasicHorseTraining]

Lizzie, flexion is the horse turning only its head from the Atlas joint (where it attaches to the neck) whereas bend involves the whole horse from the nose to the tail so to speak. So you can have flexion without bend but you cant have bend without flexion. I hope that helps 🙂

Do you think the horse knows she's being beautiful or is she just having fun, ether way she looks cool!

[@BlackKettleRanch]

The whole thing is incorrect. The horses is being held in a straight jacket. She's behind vertical and is broke over at the 3rd and 4th vertebrae. Where's the self carriage? A true dressage horse is supposed to carry itself correctly on a slack rein. Go back to Nuno.

[@andreacavaliere884]

Never heard of you. So why not have your own channel. Put it on here then we can watch.

[@BlackKettleRanch]

@@andreacavaliere884 Your reply implies that fame and notariety are important to you. I run a small, private, by-appointment-only barn. I don't want a lot of people around; I want the right people around, and those are hard to find. As instructors, don't we spend enough time throwing pearls before swine? I sure as heck am not going to invest more time giving it away for free on a KZbin channel. They're either going to pay for it or they're going to earn it. The majority of people don't value anything that's handed to them on a silver platter. Regarding seeing technique demonstrated, I already threw you pearl, and you disregarded it. I said, "Go back to Nuno."
