I cannot emphasize enough the value in supplementing small cavalettis and poles on the ground with your schooling. There is very little concussion over this height, so one can practice “flatwork over fences” quite often without stressing your horse. This is Maya Kisner, a client of Georgie Murray and Dapple Gray Farm from Arizona, attending one of our July Workshops at the Equestrian Coach Training Center in West Point, Virginia.

Once again, Equestrian Coach is proud to present Bertalan de Nemethy’s classical principles of teaching and training. Bert was a pioneer in the use of gymnastic exercises and believed them to be an essential tool in the sophisticated training of jumpers. The trainer, of course, must rely on common sense and observation when using gymnastics, with careful consideration paid to the horse’s training level and disposition. The incorporation of gymnastics into a horse’s training program will enhance

Conquering bad habits: riding behind the vertical. Brian came to an Equestrian Coach Workshop with an open mind, great attitude, and desire to improve. He left with a much different style and philosophy than he came with, and the results achieved over seven days were probably life-altering for Brian’s equestrian goals. They simply were the result of teaching a very old, proven, classical system of forward riding to a willing and able student. Watch Brian’s journey from riding behind the vertical

I see riders ‘on their toes’ all too often. Without the heel absorbing the shock of the canter, the seat will become the shock absorber and the rider will just be rising up and down with their seat, banging the back of the horse or posting the canter. This is something we all have to work on constantly, including myself.

The automatic release is an essential skill in every good rider’s toolbox. The use of it promotes a soft elastic connection with the mouth that follows the horse’s neck (bascule) over a jump. The automatic release or following arm illustrates the independence of the rider’s seat and legs. In this lesson, I’ll show you a gymnastic line that will help you advance your release to the automatic release. This is a great exercise to get off the neck for balance and move from the crest release to conne

There are horses that may have physical limitations and find flexion painful. It is important and a responsibility of the rider to understand and recognize your horse’s pain. You can train your horse to go in a natural state with acceptance of your aids, track control, and great success in the show ring without flexion if you find it best suits your horse.

When working with a horse that has difficulty with flying lead changes, I always fall back on a few basics I believe every horse should know before I approach the work to improve a flying change.
