I have been retraining my Standardbred mare for a couple of years now. She is the best horse ever!

[@zareenaali8388]

It's really nice to see exactly what is happening! When I Had a standardbred He tried so hard to canter, it was very stiff. Now I see it! almost like he continued to trot with his hind legs. Thanks for the videos!

[@cobjem]

Really enjoyed watching this clip.

[@horseproblems]

The double dvd has all the answers vintagelobell. Thanks for your kind comments. Dressage is the answer and this is the first time I think this has been shown on this Breed. Regards

[@OiJockey]

Thank you helped me understand them more

I have two standardbred's at home. Teached hem to canter and everything. We've had the same problems. But I've handled it a little different. Especially with the older one. That one was really bad treated. If I tried to slow the trot dawn, he realy got scared. We've tried that for a month! without any results. So I had to let him run, and rewarded him when he started to canter. After a week of practicing, He Stopped running away!

Thanks Shannon. Well done. Regards

Hi Folks. We don't have racking in Australia and it does worry me to watch it. Scotland Lady, yes, my wife is a Grand Prix Dressage Rider and adapted Classical Dressage to the Standardbred in a double dvd set, using 5 different Horses. Polohorses. There is a better way. That is the old way. These Horses are Saints (o) Regards all

I'm 14 and have succeded in teaching my standardbred to canter. It's hard work, but not impossible.

[@horseproblems]

Hi equineangel. I had a look and yes he is cantering. However, you have a wonderful opportunity, being young, to reach far higher and if you do, you will reap the rewards. Regards

[@vintagelobell]

Hi, really enjoyed this video. It was an inspiration to see Standardbreds working so nicely, I've never seen this before! I have a 13-year-old who has been off the track 18 months and we have a long way to go.. For a start I can't get him to work round - as soon as he gets at all excited his head is in the air and he starts pacing. I've been working a lot harder at getting him to trot instead of pace and he's making progress but it's slow.. He's very unschooled! Would welcome any tips, thanks

[@horseproblems]

I'll have a look. Thanks

[@horseproblems]

no vosty but what makes the best Jumper is a thing called Dressage. Which is why Germany excels :) Regards

[@horseproblems]

merry christmas

[@rachequestrian6661]

Hiya I'm from the uk, just taken on a trotter who only very briefly did harness work but has not had much retraining for a while although he the bit of retraining he did do enabled him to learn how to stretch down, canter transition (although breaks into trot after few steps) and balanced circles under saddle and on lunge. I have worked with another trotter mare recently but just wandering if you have any tips on a good place to start? He's unfit at the moment but very willing and kind Thank You :) - p.s: great video

[@horseproblems]

@Saartjen well done !

[@horseproblems]

The advice is this: Teach the Horse Leg Yield. Ride it inside leg to outside rein, bent and flexed in the way of travel, with 'straightness' and 'suppleness' Then you have a "Balanced Horses and then they can canter not looking or acting like a motor bike Regards

[@TheAwe0meProduction]

Thanks you this helped so much!! But when I try and signal for the canter my SB does a number of pigroots Do have any ideas how to stop this?

[@PinupPanda]

Anyone can take a look at my horse. he's still in training with me, but his recent video shows him in a fair canter (though quite fast).

[@ThePeanut131]

how do you teach them to collect

[@emababy18]

wow! this looks excellent! where can i buy this dvd from?

[@horseproblems]

@MeAndMyGalloway Carry a dressage whip and read the Horse. Just prior to the break back, tap behind the leg (side of rump) and relax. Consistency is what you want HOWEVER read my answer of today re the Dressage. A LACK OF BALANCE CAUSES break out of Canter. Cheers

[@taliasofizade8775]

As far as I knew, they were both the same, trotters pace and are also known as gaited horses? I know it's a bit late but I was just wondering :P

[@no1horselover]

Ive got a 15 year old standard bred that half trots and half paces. I havnt got anyone to help me retrain him so could you tell me what is the best position to be in. You cant really rise like in a trot so is it better to sit or stand out the saddle (which is more comfortable for the horse and rider) thankyou

[@fsafsdful]

love the video does help alot, my standardbred horse will not canter no matter what we do and when we are in a trot and we sit for a canter we get immediate pacing and we have to bring him back wach time. do you have any other ideas on how to get gim to canter and to also get him on the bit?

[@randomperson4274]

Sarah Matthhews i know you commented this a long time ago but my horse never goes on the bit

[@stacieloup]

Hi just wondering in your experience which standardbred is easier to break to canter? A Pacer or a Trotter? or what are the pros and cons for each? i have 2 Trotters ott both 9 years old.... going to start in summer with teh hard work.. :) thanx

[@Tazsprout]

what's the website? love to get DVD

[@horseproblems]

@EmoBadgers134 Get the Dressage Right. Is your Horse 'supple' is it 'flexed' correct, is it 'bent' is it 'round' for without all of those, it will not be 'balanced' and therefore 'tense' Go Google 'straightness' and your Prayers may be answered ;) It is all on my wife's dvd's

[@KarlyyMiracle]

There should be no 'shortcuts' in training horses.

[@PinupPanda]

IM retraining my standardbred off the track and he was the same. You need to not even post that trot. Sit it and dont allow that fast trot. Sit deep and adjust your leg outside behind the girth. feel free to reeeally overexaggerate this. Make sure the horse is very developed on the ground and can canter before you ask him for it under saddle. once he strikes off (ask in the corner) bend ur body to accomodate him and help him out.

My website emababy. Off the home page. regards

Gain learning Polo. Which is why this vid is here. All of your answers are on that double dvd set. Your horse is simply unbalanced and that is what they do then. Nothing new. Help is out there for you now....and your horse. Regards
