The Rollkur Research Paper
I'm talking a rather large stand in the horse world and bringing it to the surface of the non horse world that stares at me like I'm on crack everytime it is brought up. Rollkur. But I'm not including just Rollkur because, as I hope you all know, there are several modifications to Rollkur. Basically, it goes like this. Ask a rider to turn his/her horse into a tight circle at a walk. If you would grab your inside rein and pull your horses head around, there is a flaw in your riding. If you lift your core, apply pressure with your inside leg while "breathing" your outside leg with the rhythm of your horse's steps, maybe adding a soft half halt on the outside rein if your horse's head starts to fall out from the middle of his/her shoulders, then I will ship myself to you and personally shake your hand.
So, I'm asking for your help by using that statement to assist me in finding articles on this manner. I already have several online sources, but if anyone gets any dressage magazines or has any books on the matter, I'll love you forever.
Thank you thank you thank you.

Hi!
I actually have a great book recommendation for you. I just reviewed it on my blog. Check it out here:
http://lessonshared.blogspot.com
It is called "Tug of War: Classical Versus "Modern" Dressage" and is written by a vet. It takes you step by step, explaining why, physiologically, rollkur is bad. Hope this helps!

If you haven't already check out Science of Motion here on BM. Jean Luc Cornille has written quite a bit on the subject. I can get you more articles than this, hope these help you to get info you need.
