HOW TO TRAIN PIAFFE (three secrets)

This video is all about how to develop the horses piaffe. Joseph Newcomb, the in hand guy, shares 3 secrets about how to train the piaffe with Oldenburg horse Finch Hatton EDI. First, Joseph starts working on in hand basics, training the horse to respond to various aids. Then, continuing on under saddle Joseph works to refine the piaffe aid and simplify the riders requests. Lastly, Joseph works on the connection and working to get the piaffe steps more in place.

Please make a video where you train the start of piaffe from the ground, with a young horse😁

[@joelynnewcomb7390]

Joseph has an entire series on the start of piaffe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4mqYnqVn8iLiZY I hope this helps!

[@christinemartindale8715]

Finch looks stunning Joseph would you do a full test for us so we can see how good he is that would be lovely to watch then Jesse can try a test tfs😎

[@AnjaMertens]

Nice work, thank you!

[@angelastoner3658]

WOW,what a Great Teacher 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻love that Fichey boy

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Awesome video! Finch is looking super

[@martylesnick2032]

THAT WAS SPECTACULAR SLOW MO OF HOW FINCH LOWERED THOSE HINDQUARTER WHICH ALLOWED THAT LIFT UP THOSE SHOULDERS. GREAT EXPLANATION. WHAT A RUSH TO FEEL THAT WHOLE BODY LIFT. ALSO HOW SOFT WAS HE IN THAT BRIDLE TO PRODUCE THAT CRAZY LOVELY FOAM. YOU HAVE CREATED AN OASIS OF GREEN AROUND YOUR SHOOLING AREA SO NICE FOR THE HORSES TOO.

Hey Joseph...... I'm Daksh from India ..and.....I'm your Biggest Fan and I am your subscriber from last 3 to 4 years... I love your horses and the way you train them.... can you please make a video especially on you like your past and how you have become an famous horse trainer....😀😀

[@Flying0Dismount]

I'd love to discuss more about backing up as an aid in teaching piaffe- this is something that I.have been playing with- the idea that the horse backs up in diagonal pairs just like trot and piaffe. Another that is also maybe unorthodox, but I have seen many South American trainers use, is basically trotting any movement where there is little or no forward motion, so trotting turns on haunches and forehand or leg yields with little forward motion but mostly lateral and then alternating left and right leg yield or reducing the rotation in the turns until they are basically trotting on the spot (I don't know about using leg yield however as this may explain why so many Iberian horses are so lateral in their piaffe)..

[@elkedecosteredc]

Backing up then going into trot is actually an excellent way of teaching the piaffe as well as is the haunches in since the hind leg that is stepping underneath the horse is performing the exact same tilt that it is supposed to during the piaffe. This is all very classical dressage mentality though as one of the masters says there are 11 varieties of piaffe: right-bent; verbal , traversal, renversal, in pirouette and bent straight but also left-bent; versal, traversal, reversal, in pirouette and the 11th the final product of your training. Should you be interested I've searched some clips showing the results of working with these techniques.

Joseph great to see Finch. Would be good to see a little more of Finch in action. May be you could ride a test at home. He has grown up so much and looks amazing.

[@irenecoermann2439]

Impressive how much Finch has progressed!

[@bethbrown4670]

Hey Joseph! I’ve gotten to the point where Ella will lift each hind leg really high and hold it. I just can’t figure out how to get to where she will go into the rhythm of the piaffe. She’ll alternate her legs when I touch them but I can’t get her to repeatedly do it with rhythm.

[@Thesa1019]

I got the same issue.

[@bethbrown4670]

Seems no one replies here!

[@feraforestno88o57]

I find that if you do it from the ground, you will have to have very correct rhythm sense with touching with the whip, that being the only aid for the energy and beat. Easy to get it wrong. Seen Emile Faurie in ground working (with a rider on the back/more advanced) , touching only the croup of the horse, while walking beside. In riding you give the rhythm with your seat, alternating the use of legs for energy (according need) . I find teaching piaffe in riding much easier, as it is like asking the horse trotting on the spot. The rhythm "manually" done, can often produce unclear beat, over pushing the hind underneath, horse ending up in the position of an alpine ibex, not being able to produce a moment of suspension. The timing of the use of the reins is also important. You only restrict the shoulders from progressing too much, as that would flatten the back. Found that teaching piaffe from the saddle is easiest during walk pirouette. In that the horse collects him self at best and is well in aids.

Finchy! Rock star 🦄🌟🌟🌟 so grown up! Great video and instructions! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@robynmorris2408]

Joseph.....great teaching vid...your verbiage is so understandable and you are always thinking about the horse’s mind. Well done

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Thank you Joseph, your amazing and so is Finch. Finch is looking amazing.💕

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

Wow hello Finch... You are an amazing boy ❤️ Joseph you broke down everything perfectly! What a great lesson.. I really enjoyed it. I loved seeing the engagement... Thank you for the extra tip too. Great lesson this morning.. looking forward to more of this! Thank you Joseph.. love, peace, and blessings 🐎❤️✌️🙏

[@danielepayen-jaekel8104]

What a nice horse that Finch! I am not there yet(piaffing) but hope to one day, I will watch your training video/s over a few times!

[@randyfuller7294]

Great video.

[@brigittedevries9630]

Love your video's. Maybe nice to see Jolanda Adelaar. She is from holland en lived in Italy she bought a italian Murgese and is the first in the world to start this horse in the Grand Prix.

[@kippen64]

Am also a Jolanda fan.

[@christinafragis7224]

Thanks for the great tips - Joseph you are the very reason for falling in love with dressage - piaffe and passage are the ultimate goal

[@dorothearagsdale2664]

Finch is doing great.

[@jamesnewcomb3765]

Awesome slow mo. I can almost get the feeling from this lesson.

[@chrisusher7144]

You said more like this ok ?

[@kevnjaysmom]

Hey . Big fan from Montreal. You have a beautiful new stable but one thing I wonder ? Where is your turnout ? Do these horses ever get to go into a field and kick up their heels ? I'm sure you take care but ....?

[@wistyroamlands7495]

If anyone just makes a youtube comp of 'this is what dressage moves are these are their names, this is a bad one, this is a perfect one' it would have SO many views. God I just need a piaffe animation reference and there were all of 2 seconds in this video.

[@shirleybroady]

There’s not much I love more than confirmation discussion of what is possible and complimentary to the abused and battered old school training. Piaffe is piaffe when it’s ridden on the spot! Use it forward but aim for on the spot as the finished product. . Maybe some horse aren’t athletic enough so it’s what you settle for……but it’s not excellence. In fact, when the dressage horse is ultimately through and the connection is confirmed, the horse can piaffe in rein back as well and with optimal precision, and return to on the spot with the treasured dynamic you endorse because of it. The communication at this level is flawless. The comment before me mentions the turns over center that, done well, can start the piaffe. This is also unheard of, so thanks for this. Thanks so much Joseph for addressing a controversial topic. You bring dressage out of the closet and it’s exciting to be part of that.

[@judyhall5624]

Love it...feel...its the feel...unfortunately riders look for results..skipping the feel part...very few wait to feel the transisions...why? Because that requires giving control to the horse ...not readily done with most riders...

[@abbaspromisefarm4936]

I am so excited that you posted this video. Thank you so much. I've done your 4 weeks to piaffe. It is happening for us. But I really have no idea how to proceed. Do you do video lessons?

[@bamp1624]

second to n... One🤣 Amelia😘 jk love

[@sallyannefrancis8647]

His action was quite restricted !!

[@lvpisias]

Love your teaching videos!

[@terrygriggs1704]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@kellyerobinson7813]

Wait, we need to hear your step by step from ground start. I’m sure most of you out there have mastered this but I’m newer and can’t find any intro step by step on training this to my horse and myself. Joseph, help! ♥️♥️♥️

[@JosephNewcomb]

Take a look at my 4 weeks to piaffe series. It’s helpful.

[@EnriqueSanchez1]

@@JosephNewcomb do you think a 15 yr old horse can still learn to piaffe? Harder? Great videos btw!

[@chanel.whores9101]

My horse did this today, she’s not a dressage horse at all. So now imma teach her haha
