Robert Dover: Get your horse forward, NOW!

[@amberblyledge7859]

Hmm... Somthing tells me that this horse is not ready to be forward. I think they are trying to train above the horse's comfortable level. Not their fault for not seeing it. That horse is disconnected in the trot, and relatively on the forehand. I believe that horse needs a lot of loose walking up and down hills. Then some trotting up hills. Just an opinion.

What is that line of bumps under the horse's belly? Great video!

[@DressageHub]

+Lauren Rose I think the horse had colic surgery or surgery of some kind. Im not 100% sure so somebody else might chime in.

[@SACJ43007]

+Lauren Rose They're hernias from having colic surgery
