Yes... I have one of the sweetest mares with a wonderful personality and nice ground manners when it comes to people handling her. She spent much of her first 4 years growing up without being backed -- she was handled regularly and pampered....
Good observations... She was quick, tense and had stiff movement at the trot during this early morning class. It was her first class at Devon and only her 2nd show/2nd time off the farm after only 3 months under saddle. She was definitely more ner...
This group is for people who love show jumping! In this group I will send you the times and dates for the Spruce Meadows jumping and what channel it will be on to!!!
Suspension is about natural ability, natural balance, and as far as the training goes, what develops suspension is half halts. Cavaletti encourage a horse to lift his feet off the ground - that is not suspension.
Suspension is not lifting the fee...

Thank you. Time may be the answer. As to the rest of your suggestions, I don't think that's what we're missing with this filly. Check out her video...
She has received exceptional training since she was started late May with competition results ...
Just time and a lot of basic correct training to accept the bit, respond to half halts, get straighter, more supple, etc.
Thank you! We've worked over ground poles from time to time, but haven't made it a part of our regular routine. Cavaletti's definitely sound like a good next step. Thanks! I will give it a try.
Try cavaletti. My 3 year old had a flat trot when I broke him in March but just lunging him over 4 poles on a 20 m circle for a couple of minutes without sidereins for 3x a week has really helped develop his trot. This is included in his regular w...
Congratulations! Having fun and enjoying the ride is one of the most satisfying accomplishments! Good luck going forward!
Thanks! I'll probably give her a little break this winter and start showing again late spring/early summer 2010. Be sure to keep me posted on your progress!!
No problem. Good luck! I hope you two have a great show season! :)
Thank you again -- for taking the time to respond and for watching the videos. She has improved a lot since being backed in June. She's young so I have to constantly remind myself to be patient. She is so easily trained and picked up everything so...
From watching the videos, she seems like she's definately improved. She already has a good hind leg, so once she learns to lift up her shoulders a little more for a longer stride it appears she'll have a nice trot. Stretching is definately a good ...
Thanks for the quick response. We have been working on everything you mentioned -- lateral movements, shoulder-in, forward & back at trot, etc. She's very soft and supple and collection seems to come easily for her. She does sometimes get quick an...
