Love watching these videos as I am an older new rider. It is so hard to watch 20 something that are perfect shape, etc. when I am not!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Glad you like them!

[@kmiklaszewski]

I love these videos of your mom’s lesson. They give s better sense for the lower level riders and for someone like me for teaching riders. Please do me videos with your mom and or any other lower level riders. These videos are the kind that help with my education.

[@nabgilby]

Has mom started her channel yet? We need her to do it!

[@libbylynett1923]

Amelia, please don’t be offended,but, I think your mom is my new dressage idol ! She’s a heck of a lot closer to my vintage and she looks quite fine in this video. Her second canter was really improved over her first canter. We can always improve and move the needle...Really inspiring to watch.

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

I’m glad!! She’s the best mom ever ❤️

[@dzjaag6148]

Omg, this trainer is amazing!

[@TeriFelixREBroker]

Omg great lesson BUT this horse has the most gorgeous tail.

[@debracarter7680]

Please have German do more videos I love his point of view it's helping me very much

[@lauraestey6071]

Wonderful explanations, and the analogy of a stone skipping across the water if your hips aren't moving with the horse is perfect!

[@michellehovanek3441]

Love your videos, your husband does a great job with his lessons too. So refreshing!

[@jcarroccio7844]

such a great horse, and love how your husband breathes with your mom and has a great explanation for her movements!!! He is right into as well, as if he was riding!!

[@veroniqueviaudFaspasie_1957]

Super instructor ! ☺️👌🏼 The improvement in the canter is great Another old mom who would dream of such a lesson ! 😉 Beautiful horse too. ☺️😍🐴💖

[@pariahmouse7794]

It is so hard to keep your shoulders still (yup, I finally cantered- and it was as awesome as I imagined, probably even more so!) and I can tell I am going to have trouble keeping my hands still as well- I have only done it four times in one lesson, I have a long way to go, but the shoulders are going to be a challenge for sure! (I wish my mom and dad and grandma and grandpa could have been here to see me do it for the first time, they all always tried so hard to get me opportunities to ride, they knew how much it meant/means to me, they would be SO proud! Nobody else cares, haha, but I know they are all somewhere cheering me on!) Thanks for all the great videos, I wouldn't be where I am in my riding without them!

[@hassanbazarah9615]

Just wow, one week of watching your channel I have learned more than years of practicing in wrong ways

[@debracarter7680]

Love this video I watch it often as I'm having difficulties keeping my horse at the counter

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

So glad this is helpful!

[@stellachandler4719]

Awesome explanation. Love the way he explained this, so clear.Well done to Mama Newcomb.

[@danw6014]

I'd pay a high price to have my mentor back. Its is so valuable in our horsemanship journey to have a great coach who sees the little things we do that get in the way of our horses. Having someone who is particular not critical and of course supportive and knowledgeable. Someone who knows to work from where the horse is at and from where the rider is at as well. If you have this person in your life who is your friend and mentor please don't take that for granted. Some day it may be gone. I thought it was hard to learn to ride in the beginning, with all the help I had. Now I have a lot more knowledge, but I think it is so much harder working on my horses and in reality working on myself, alone.

[@sabinelloyd8532]

Thank you, I was struggling with my canter, this definitely made it easier for myself and my horse. 😊😊

[@amandafrench8047]

Thanks guys. Seeing the rider "get it" & progress plus the enthusiasm of the instructor makes me smile :)

[@maryanneking9855]

Excellent canter lesson....will put this into practice when I have my lesson! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@elizabethal7399]

Very good!! I love how the horse comes into a nice frame once her seat is deeper, upper body stable and still, lower leg on, pelvis following- beautiful! Great video! Thanks for sharing it.

[@divan6279]

I was taught to do a scooping motion with my pelvis in the saddle during the canter ,hope this helps someone. Wish I had a great teacher like your husband when I was struggling to learn the basics.

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Yes for sure it is a cooping motion. Thanks for sharing!!

[@stephaniesmith5974]

Love his explanations! That made so much sense!! Ty looking forward to more videos from him!!!

[@Gushara]

I think your mom has a very good seat. This was truly helpful!

[@bsnhilow]

Your husband needs to make more videos! He has a great way of explaining basics.

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Haha I try but he’s a bit camera shy; he’s warming up to it though

[@SusannMarieDye]

This was very helpful to me. I am in the same place she is and his instruction is excellent. Thanks!

[@paolopiccirillo6760]

That s Was amazing explanation and the client Was so happy

[@horseez1]

[@annettemcnabb3033]

Great demonstration and information:)

[@bingusbang]

Omg! More of this!!!

[@fairenough7984]

Very helfpul!! No one told me keep shoulders still. It's the little things, lol🐎🐎🐎

[@falconk9]

love it, was actually practicing that yesterday. Focusing on keeping shoulders back and steady, moving with horse. Just need to run video of myself now to see if I made the difference visually that I felt.

[@minderellafox7906]

I liked this part of the lesson then the first part, he started explaining better. Great riding Mum! 😁💐

[@cherylstone7256]

I'm hopeful this is another piece of the puzzle..thx for sharing

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

It is!

[@Tyler-tz7oy]

Reason it looks like we’re sitting quiet and not moving is because we’re following the rhythm of the horse! Get connected with him (the horse) and make that motion that he’s making and you’re gonna skip like a stone across the water! Great analogy of the smooth skipping! Thank you for this! Great tip from your husband 😄

[@falizianme5846]

Great explanation! I was just working on this in my lesson last night!

[@charlotteogorman9296]

Excellent canter lesson I will take this into consideration when I have my lesson tomorrow

[@moniquesmith5501]

great job Mom!!!! great explanation!

[@Pferdecoach]

smile...smile...smile.........like that guy how he explains ...

[@Pferdecoach]

Robert Davin ...may I ask you something ? what timing do you use in that "inside leg to outside rein thing " ??

[@Pferdecoach]

Robert David...ok other way ...what timing you use by " inside rein to outside leg " ?

[@soleilequestrian8856]

Your husband is also a great trainer!!

[@MJennifer]

I love this coaching style

[@paulatilley2288]

These tips really helped me! Thank you!!!!

[@silky2204]

Good demo and explanation.

[@ramesh.kumar119]

Very nice post...

[@greenfarmcat]

Awsome lesson to watch! Thank you!

[@carolinlarson4089]

What a beautiful horse! And such a good boy 🥰 His special rider did a great job in the canter both ways. Now we just need to get his owner to do as well 🥴😁

[@joelynnewcomb7390]

He is such a good boy!!

[@joelynnewcomb7390]

[@amani609]

Very interesting 👍🏻

[@coombestables-horseridingi808]

Great tips 👍😊

[@magdadaek1826]

Loved it :)

[@cyndiebologna7365]

I’m in my early 50’s and started riding lessons about 5 months ago for the first time ever. I haven’t begun to canter, so I’m trying to educate myself as much as I can before then. What does the instructor mean when he says “ keep the outside rein” as she’s circling in the canter? Does he mean to keep enough contact, or tighten it? Anyone who can offer guidance, thanks:)

[@victoriakrasilshikova9411]

She sounds like you :)

[@JennaOnTheBeach]

Any solution for strangely floppy arms which seem to "give" too much with the movement of the canter? Irritating every time i watch my sessions back!! Help!

[@AmeliaNewcombDressage]

Keep your elbows at your side - you could even put a glove underneath your arm to help
