I've got to say ginger - you're turning into a bit of a bore. You want to discuss topics but as soon as someone (unfortunately mbm most requently) posts something you don't totally agree with you...

I must be odd honestly.

I've always felt that opinions on this forum were very strong and sometimes extremely polarised but I must be missing the "snobbiness". Certainly some people are inclined...

I actually find that a good visualisation. Good reinback takes good balance, diagonal movement but no suspension.

Perhaps piaffe is like a reinback forward over a short distance. :)

Current...

So, I've been breeding horses for 35 years. During that time there have been years of drought, when horses stood around being bored and waiting for feed (not grazing as they should). Other times...

I would have thought a "dressage forum" was needed so we didn't abuse other forums by our presence! LOL :)

Is it abusive to cause stress to a horse?

Horses are afflicted by stressful situations all through their lives.

An interesting study in the UK discovered that small foals born to large mares...

99% of horses in Australia are trained by amatuers. The market can't support many professionals.

The hardest horses at GP level in this country to ride are the ones imported from Germany for...

Karoline clearly says she doesn't have a problem with you rehabilitating your horse by riding deep.

As you haven't shown photos or vidoe of the process I certainly can't say whether we both see...

And this reeks of sour grapes.

You could try Australia.

The transport is much more expensive but the horses are very inexpensive.

I don't know any of these horses personally but there were two or three GP horses advertised...

As far as I know LDR didn't exist until hyperflexion aka rollkur was renamed LDR to take away the bad image.

Prior to that you rode your horse

long and low, as close to the vertical as...

I live in the real world, I don't think horses fart butterflies and I make my living teaching dressage, training horses and breeding warmbloods.

I don't need YOU to talk sense into ME. I don't...

Rollkur borrowed from Baucher's first method which (as people have repeatedly said) Baucher himself agreed was not necessarily a GOOD method of training a horse.

Also (as people have repeatedly...

Is that like dancing a hornpipe?

That is a sound belief.

But do we know that Baucher wouldn't have agreed with you? The problem with discussing the techniques of people who are no longer with us is that we don't know what they...

Try - just about every rider at some stage or another and something that even the best stay aware of when training! :(

In the interim of finding a new coach try taking the "control" out of the...

75% of people in this thread can't do that.

If Dr H was a politician or a CEO his spin doctors would be in a lather. Not because he practices rollkur - even the most diehard rollkuristas know...

someone must have bred with mares by these stallions.

I saw a young horse that was so NOT forward that I'm surprised he moved at all.

I saw a rider with stirrups too short, no whip or spur and no chance to get the young horse forward. I didn't see...

How in happens - in one case the rider has blocked the advancement of the hindleg with the bit on the same side. The horse has spent so much time braced against the connection that the shoulder has...

Any one bred with Lord Sinclair and / or Rosario mares and what do you thing was the best stallion cross for them.

The Rosario mare is very like her sire. The Lord Sinclairs - one is solid and...

Absolutely. As a rider you must be completely comfortable with every aspect of the test and how each movement transitions from another.

That said you should be "practicing" your tests as you...

Is she a hoarder who feeds her horses, looks out for their general health and wellbeing and gives them nice lives.

If yes, the is it so bad that she buys another horse?

Hi Nicole - Does this link work?

What sort of injection - anti inflammatory or like pentosan for arthritic changes.

We had a horse that was dangerous to bridle - the chiro reduced his behaviour problems by 50% in 20 seconds by...
