What would you like to see in this how-to series?

Hoe een goede uitgestrekte draf te trainen

[@maureennagtegaal1753]

Travers, keertwendingen , vliegende galopwissel

[@audreybreuls9117]

Hoe krijg je meer cadans in de draf :)

[@audreybreuls9117]

Kunnen jullie ook eens meer in detail gaan op: 'links afslaan met je rechterteugel' hoe dat precies in zijn werking gaat. En wat doe je dan met je stelling? Want die ging nu telkens verloren

[@eveliend7234]

I'd like to see as a sequence to this one as of when you can start working on a correct bend. How do you know the straightness is confirmed enough and how do you teach them to bend without falling over the shoulder?

[@nellafrosst6453]

Would love to see more young horse rides where you talk us through what you are doing, and give us examples of exercises.

[@joedavey6187]

I appreciate the reality of your videos, this one in particular resonates working with a young horse in the use of the outside rein for turning and straightness, inspirational!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

🤗👍🏻

[@Crabbypink]

Thank you for being so clear about what you're doing/looking for/ achieving what you want! I'm re-starting a difficult 6 yo mare, and this is exactly what I need to see and understand.

[@georginalester4303]

I really like this video for steering and the one on contact. Does make me laugh when he says "Weee" I would like to see more on turning as my horse falls in and out all the time

[@christinemartindale8715]

He was very playful in the warm up you are a lovely rider beautiful hands. Its great how you are explaining to people too so they can fully understand how it’s done properly and well great clip.tfs😎

[@Heitberg1]

This was great! Love how you "talk" to the horse

[@jcarroccio7844]

Got to love his spirit!!! “But Dad, I want to run and buck.” Lol. Seriously, I also believed when lunging, they carry over under saddle and discouraged the bucking! So many people told me I should allow the bucking! But I always asked my horse to refrain from the bucks! Thanks for sharing!

[@eveliend7234]

Wow thanks a lot for this! I am educating my first young horse at the moment, a 4yo Sandro Hit. Under supervision of my trainer of course, but still it is really nice to see how you approach it. I forget easily that you need to be really clear with them, especially in the aids with the reins. I always try to make it look subtle and clean, but I realise now sometimes it's better to make it very clear to avoid confusion.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx ! Good to hear 🤗

[@maureennagtegaal1753]

I really enjoyed the whiieee in between 😂 haha

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

😂😂

[@hedyduijnkerke9233]

Super handige video precies wat ik nodig had op dit moment, ik ben namelijk ook bezig met mijn 4jarige en nu heb ik weer een paar goede oefeningen om mee aan de slag te gaan.😊 misschien kunnen jullie nog meer video's maken over jonge paarden?

[@DARKhorses73]

These videos are amazing!

[@thrust461]

Great info loved to train with u with my young floriscount!! He’s going amazing atm

[@britneysilveria4820]

I would love to see you show/talk through the first: walk, trot & canter under saddle. 🤩

[@laurenvega9990]

I’d love to see one with even younger, maybe a master class sort of video for the youngsters? What your main goals are for ages 2 through 3 and what it looks like. I’d also like to see the in hand/ half steps process with a horse that really doesn’t know it to a horses that is a bit more established. Maybe some videos on how to ride movements for a 10 especially at lower levels.

[@johanaanderssonova9651]

One of the best videos about shoulder control I have ever seen! But I have a question: When do you start with bending? In particular, I mean the latelar flexion in the corners and on the circle, so that the horse accepts the inner leg.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx ! 🤗 When this part goes well we start with a bit of flexion at a circle and teach them leg yield

[@rockannand]

I love your arena footing. Would it be off topic to ask what you are using please? Lovely stallion youngster. A rising star!

[@joehaban5811]

When lunging I was always taught the lunge line goes through the ring and attaches on the other side of the bit so you have better control especially with a young horse. Also I like to see that you stretch long and low after your training work out;)

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Haha Yes I only do that with a horse which is really young with no control. I like this better. Dont know why. I think i did stretch long after the training ;)

[@izabelagalicka1803]

Great channel:) I like the stable, how to - lot of nice tips, interviews are also interesting

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx ! 😃

[@romylemmens-9071]

Wat een goede en duidelijke uitleg over schouder plaatsing. Top! Is er ook een video waar jullie aan de aanleuning van een jong paard werken? Ik vind het lastig als ik buiten rijd met een jong paard die constant alles in de gaten houdt, dan blijft de aanleuning niet constant. Dus how to.. ga zo door 🔝

[@monique0808]

Please can you do more young horse videos 🙏 also especially how did you get le Premier to have such a good head position on the bit from the very beginning? Please do a video on this 🙏

[@LHDressage]

Loved the Young Horse video. I would love to hear more about the young horse training. How many rides a week for a 3 year old? Do you always in the ring or do you take one or two days each week to hack? If the horse wants to put his head up, do you ask him to accept the bit and keep his back up before pushing him more forward? Thanks so much.

[@lindavanderkooi-reitsma9555]

Bedankt voor de interessante video. Mooi om te zien! Met mijn 8 jarige is het recht op 2 teugels zo nu en dan zelfs nog erg lastig en kom ik het weer tegen in de wissels. Weer even een reminder om dit goed voor elkaar te maken en te houden.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

😎🤗

[@saskiadebruyn4555]

Meteen aangeklikt! Ben momenteel mijn eigen 4 jarige merrie (All att once x Spielberg) aan het opleiden. Super interessant zo'n video!😊

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx 🤗

[@kloeandlucy3715]

Your horses are fabbbbb x

[@margokoorn1688]

Goeie video weer Rob, ook eens leuk om jou een how to video te zien maken, en wat ziet het er bij jou toch relaxed uit, echt wat doe jij nou als zo,n jong paard of elk paard, gaat spoken of schrikt, wat is dan het bestte wat je kan doen of zijn al jullie paarden zo braaf lol dat ze nooit een geintje onder zadel uithalen. (behalve Heros want die is gewoon braaf lol). Nee maar knap dat je zo koel blijft, en ook nog eens grappig om te horen die reacties van jou lol. Bedankt weer voor een goeie leuke video, daar zal je weer heel wat ruiters blij mee hebben kunnen maken

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Beste wat je kan doen is blijven zitten 😂

[@cordywitt6400]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@MK-jx8kj]

In one of your session can you do a riders pov so we can see what it looks like from a riders perspective

[@jenniferhill3377]

When you teach steering with outside rein, are you using any inside leg? At this point in his training, what kind of leg and seat aids do you use?

[@marcusdejong1443]

Very interesting video I love the horse so cool for a stallion

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx 😎

[@imme3958]

Thnx voor de tips! Ik ga een 3/4 jarige pony leasen dus deze tips zijn daar wel voor nodig. Ik heb ervaring met haar en heb gelukkig een hele goede klik dus ik hoopt dat dat ook kan helpen in de training

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Wat leuk! Suc6 😊

[@imme3958]

@@Begijnhoeve_official zijn er trouwens ook nog wat goede tips en tactiekjes boor als je paard/pony bij het longeren meteen wilt galopperen?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Alles naar voren oplossen 😉 Dus laat hem dan even goed naar voren galopperen voor je hem terug neemt

[@mickyms3999]

On the lunge you can actually see hes a really good boy and listening to your non verbal cues haha. Everytime you lift your arm/ hand to explain something to us he stars to trot :) :) just not what you were looking for but he's trying haha

[@music.for._.the.life91]

Hello, could you make a video, where do you show how to train a young horse (5 years old) who wanna kick off rider when rider just mounted?

[@juliewright3437]

hello I love your videos they are helping me so much with my horse, My question is an observance of bending verses turning I like this and I can see where this is a good application to keeping the horse between leg and hand rather than bending the horse around the inside leg particularly for the longditudinal issues of balance can you explain further please

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Turning is to make your horse straight. Bending is to work on the suppleness.

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

And Thnx !

[@dorothyleeuw8774]

Can you explain when you counterflex him do you use your inside leg at that moment. Excellent video. Miss your laugh. Thank you. 😎

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

🤪😂 No, i try to use no leg when i turn

[@kylechapman131]

I have a goal to get to Grand Prix in dressage

[@pedropadilla6651]

Can you make a video about the lunge work?

[@jenniferlloyd1160]

Can you do one on plaiting manes. Love the length of yours but how do you plait them at that length

[@gackenbach]

Great video

[@aliciacosta3178]

That is one fancy trot!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

🤗🤗

[@kristinaackapi2448]

If horse is 3yo and have a lot of energy, is it correct to let him release his energy and then start to work under control like you at the beginning of lounge?

[@ceciliadeclerck5002]

I would have loved to see from “above”. When you say he is not straight of leaning on one hand or the other, it would have been great to see in from YOUR perspective.

[@pagekelleher601]

Would also like to see how to training the young horse that is too forward.

[@brendaoenema6889]

Dank voor de video. Deze is zeer informatief. Mijn jonge paard heeft een mooie galop, heeft een hele fijne aanleuning en kan schakelen. De overgang naar draf gaat ook goed en ze blijft mooi gesloten met een mooi contact. Pas na een aantal meter in draf verlies ik het contact en wordt haar gang rommelig. Als ik de overgang weer maak naar galop, dan heb ik weer een mooie galop, fijne aanleuning etc. Welke oefeningen kan ik doen om na de galop de draf ook op orde te krijgen? Is het een balans probleem?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Lastig zo te beoordelen zonder het te zien. Meestal wanneer ik na een aantal meter de balans verlies rijd ik weer een overgang terug. Als je paard sterker word dan lukt het vanzelf om het langer vol te houden!

[@Hspaard]

Nice explanation! But in walk your horse is not equal in the hind legs. Left hind is shorter

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

True ! One of the reasons why we train him to get him more and more straight 😉

[@wilcovandebeek7275]

Super fijne uitleg!!

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Thnx 🤗

[@kiss_aegis]

Please can you give advice on how to teach a horse self carriage and how to stretch down, if possible in a lunge like warmup like you did a the beginning. I am helping to retrain a polo horse and she is not strong in her back at all. She does stretch down into the outside rein, but overcompensates and stretches to far and then returns to her high head carriage. She does not stay where there is a nice connection and she struggles with straightness a lot

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

hi ! Sorry only just saw your message. First make her responsive to your leg. Doesnt matter what her head does. Than I think you should start turning left and right without losing energy. Untill she starts moving over her back more and more. First this before the step of self carriage

[@kiss_aegis]

@@Begijnhoeve_official thank you so much! I will definitely try that in our training 😄

[@FlorentynaA]

I don’t really understand the idea of using the left rein to turn right, right for left. I’ve never been taught that- I would love to learn more and read an explanation for how it works, i try to steer with my legs

[@sunsetbun2662]

How did you get him to respond to your voice?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Repeat over and over again haha they will recognise it

[@margavdvleuten8954]

Mss een stomme vraag, maar is er een reden waarom je bijna niet over de hoefslag rijd of rechte lijnen maar wel veel wendingen?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Zeker geen stomme vraag! Dat doe ik om het paard recht te maken en hem te leren sturen 😎 En idd niet gaat plakken aan de wand maar op eigen benen te lopen

[@kendrahagel519]

What type of bit do you use on a young horse?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

i like a simple bit like an Egg but or something. Not a sharp bit !

[@brendaoenema6889]

Als je paard op de binnenhand geen contact neemt, rij je dan een volte of lijn met de binnenhand om het contact weer te herstellen? Of verander je van hand en begeleid je je paard via de buitenteugel (teugel waar je paard geen of weinig contact op neemt) in voltes of lijnen met een rechte hals zodat ze de schouders meenemen en het contact weer herstellen?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Wat je kunt proberen is vanaf de hoefslag of zelfs op een volte te wijken naar de teugel waar je geen contact op krijgt. Dus ‘express’ je paard beetje over die schouder laten lopen in je teugel waar je meer contact op wilt. Succes 🍀

[@amarit72]

Heel interessant deze video! En wat een fijn paard 👍 Wellicht is dit al eerder aan de orde geweest, maar wie maakt jullie paarden zadelmak? Doen jullie dat zelf? En waar moet je bij het maken van de juiste keuze opletten wanneer je het zadelmak maken van een jong paard aan een deskundige wil overlaten in plaats van het zelf te doen in verband met (in mijn geval) gebrek aan ervaring?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Zadelmak maken is een vak apart, doen we niet meer zelf. Zorg dat je iemand vindt die niet bang is zonder lomp te zijn!

[@abdelrahmankhalil8878]

With a young horse do is it better to start the canter from the walk or from the trot? And also how to i teach my horse to get into canter from tbe walk directly?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

Better to start with Trot to Canter 😉 Canter to walk evolves when you get more collection

[@abdelrahmankhalil8878]

@@Begijnhoeve_official thank you that makes sense actually and collection needs muscle and he is still developing it

[@abdelrahmankhalil8878]

@@Begijnhoeve_official another thing why always make the horse think forward how would that help him in the future why not be neutral with the pace why encouraging forwardness especially in canter?

[@Begijnhoeve_official]

You dont need to go fast but you always want your horse to think forward, so you can keep him active. For example If you collect your horse he is slowing down in speed but the rhytm stays almost the same otherwise he will be behind your leg and not thinking forward anymore.

[@abdelrahmankhalil8878]

@@Begijnhoeve_official yes thats totally right thanks alot
