High collection is something you achieve after years of work. The beginnings of collection are called "on the bit" and a skilled rider can achieve this after months of remail work on a horse who has incorrect habits. Like all beginnings, the beginni…
Hi,
Cathrine is right. that's the way. I would usggest that you also do lunging sessions where you get him into a long and low position. You may use different aides there.
The important part is to be patient. It requires a change of the horses muscl…

If you have stairs near your TV you could put the balls of your feet on a stair and let your wait push your heels down while you are watching TV. This makes you more used to the position and helps streach your leg muscles to be able to go into the p…

Ever had a Horse kiss you back?
I have. A Percheron. I went to kiss him and he pushed his head forward into mine. It hurt...but it was cute!
You know you do it... who can resist that soft muzzle after a hard day's work or a great lesson?
Hi,
This group will be lots of fun! I`m having lots of trouble with my lessons....everyone in the group isn`t as good as me and my friend! We`re being held back! And It`s SO annoying! Any advice?
This is a group for people who don't own a horse, but take lessons.
You can talk about your coaches, school horses or anything at all really!
Have fun!
