Thank you for taking the time to put up this video. You’re a wonderful teacher and a beautiful rider. I learned a lot from this video and will be practicing it later today!

An eye opener seeing a big warmblood ridden without contact!!

[@marielouisemulder4647]

Wonderful video and wonderful teaching! Going to try this with my 5 year old.

Apart from focusing on the rider’s position this was a great visual for impulsion and self carriage. I know a lot of dressage horses who would fall apart without a micromanaged contact. This proves if they’re self going without your hand they will push into the hand and move over the back better when you do pick up contact.

What I don't understand is why the horse isn't just trained to carry himself and then we ride, focusing on our skeleton so that we can keep the unity that way... I think if a horse cannot carry itself, we need to start on the ground again. Thank you for your content. I just found you and will be following!

hi from australia thank you

[@Alex-horsman]

Very good information!! Thank you!!!

Very informative. I'm in the process of restarting an ottb, from ground up. Working on the self carriage, looser rein " method" whilst allowing him to tell me when to shorten the contact to achieve a slightly rounder frame. Your explanation for the riders balance during this process is so very helpful and I will definitely now be more mindful of my position. Thankyou so much 😊

Thank you Joseph

[@barbaraleighroberts5561]

Just another great video, thanks ❤❤❤

[@valeriegarcia5420]

Lovely video, could you make one on how to correctly collect the canter? I’m really struggling with that right now

[@mariette4257]

Thank you so much. I'll take this with me on my next ride 🐎👍

[@anthonyscorer8218]

Thank you. Really helpful and will try my best to put it into practice. You are an inspiration.

I have been watching you and particularly your keg and heels. I have a bit of an issue with my instructor. She wants me to kick each stride. I don't believe in that. I like to flex my calf if that dosent work a kick and finally a tap with my schooling whip. I think constant kicking causes dullness and dead to the leg. I watch you and you only use your heels when needed. Would you agree ?

[@kendrauusitalo838]

I am not an instructor but I agree!

[@jangrey1092]

@8.02 I watch you 💙

[@dawnstoker2258]

Really enjoyed this video. Thank you. I find it very difficult while I'm riding to know whether or not my ear, my shoulder, my hip, and heel are aligned. Btw.... are you related to Amelia Newcomb??

[@scunningham7173]

She's his sister

[@debconway9766]

They are siblings

[@dawnstoker2258]

I thought so. They resemble one another and even have similar sounding voices!! Thanks for letting me know. (:

[@dmclassical08]

What bit are you using? Thank you 🙂

[@minnawirzenius-karjalainen661]

I would like to say, that altough it feels that your upper body goes back and front, it really gous so, that your hips moves like the horse is moving. So you can think to keep your upper body still and move your hips.

[@midllifecrisis50pluss20]

Thank you for the tips. How much weight do you feel in your stirrups % ?

[@janicehussein200]

I can sit the canter with my seat barely lifting off the saddle. It's like we glued together. But I was told this isn't good.
