Joseph talks through a WILD ride on a super young and green warmblood Viking EDI. This is a cool ride where Joseph is micd up and talking through his ride. He works on balancing Impulsion in order to connect the young dressage horse back to front.

love that you're sharing this

Thank you! I always like to put the real stuff out there. He is very special and very green so it’s not the easiest ride for now but I think will be spectacular. :)

[@minderellafox7906]

I’m halfway through, and I’m impressed that you are letting him find his balance with out trying to keep him over flexed or round. Good riding! What a wonderful example of a young dressage horse. Can we ask that we get updates on him as you train him? 😍

[@JosephNewcomb]

Absolutely!

[@charliewhon6548]

Super enjoyable to watch. Forward with ground cover is one of the best things you could let him do, and what most trainers don’t let young horses do. It can feel sketchy, because there is always the chance he will go forward right over those hedges if he gets able to his shoulders past his ribcage. Young horses can be so “rubbery” and “bendy!”😂 such fun!

[@JosephNewcomb]

Totally agree!

[@sarahb5455]

Beautiful! Some glimpses of what a star he'll be ❤

[@mette1976]

Super thanks for sharing and well done

[@Chewymochifruity]

That looks really fun! How do u feel if he is behind you or is in front of you like you mentioned in the video?

[@redmare1746]

Thank you for these . Love to watch the development of the youngsters!

[@JosephNewcomb]

I love it

[@ClaireDoesTooMuch]

When do you decide it's more versus less helpful to help young horses by letting them move out and forward? I feel like I had some trainers telling me to get my horse out and forward and then some telling me to contain my horse more. Is it dependent on what they give you that day?

[@JosephNewcomb]

Great question! This might be for another video.

[@vwynnr]

What a gorgeous boy! I'm so impressed that this is only 3 weeks in- Joseph you are doing wonderful work with him. He seems willing and eager and and it's terrific that he is coming up under your patient tutelage.

[@rebeccapease3746]

This is fantastic. True proof that the honest and best riders don't dictate through the horses head and mouth, but through their bodies and brains. That youngster has a ton of style.

Hi Joseph i am so very much enjoying your videos Thank you I am far away in Zimbabwe 😊 I have a big boy 17hh stalion and am absolutely loving starting from scratch got him 18mnths old... So .... you obviously start long before this ... Viking knows your voice. Ive not seen in hand ground work videos obviously i need to find some I too have done loads in hand but dont s3em to get the same response from the voice ques when in saddle ? As of i am a bit intimidated with the lack of control feeling. But from your videos have found how great it is to allow the forward use it. But am finding connection difficult. I always have. Long back an instructor told me i had hard hands and since that day ive feared being hard and just struggle to keep my reins consistant and tend to get too soft to long. Other instructors have said no not true my hands are not hard... but i just cant get this right... contact is really hindering me .... this week after being inspired by your videos (and your sisters ) i feel i have improved with my leg and seat and thats definatley helped with the contact ... but still i give away my reins too easily.... HELP 😂 Also great tip for me at the end thevforward allows him to use and lose his energy don't want to bottle it up... now I know why my boy gets explosive sometimes Thank you

You're a great young horse trainer!!

[@Krinsta1]

There's something super exciting about riding a young horse. I can see how the breeding of the horse provides some pretty amazing natural movement. Viking has a lot going for him. Watching this bought back some happy memories of my first wild rides on my horse. I do want another horse. I'm working towards it. Not a young horse, this time an older, more seasoned horse... just like me an older seasoned lady.

[@melissabaanders2751]

That is some horse ❤

[@JosephNewcomb]

Thank you Melissa. I think so too. :)

[@melissabaanders2751]

@@JosephNewcomb i hope you get the chance to compete him...

[@bentriverequestrian]

Talented horses still need thoughtful trainers like this! Great gaits and great riding.

[@rebeccairwin3617]

Absolutely stunning youngster with so much potential. Lucky you.

[@JosephNewcomb]

You are so kind

[@JenkaMaria]

Great horse. Powerful, short back. Beautiful. And you give sooo much confidence to that young horse. Enjoy this time together. ❤ And don't leave the arena😅....maybe he becomes an eventer as well 🤗. There are horses with multiple talents at a very high level...like Zauberdeyk f.e... a small sweet chestnut as well 🙃. 🍀🌞🍀 Have a nice day. Your place looks beautiful.

[@JosephNewcomb]

Thank you so much!

[@allisonm6622]
