Anna Hawke replied to Shimmer E's discussion 'RollKur or Hyperflexion'
It is very refreshing to read your view of hyperflexion, you mentioned that you do not train in the method however you are able comment on the method in what I find, as a rider of the method, a very reasonable and furthermore enjoyable discussion.…

So with what you learned in the Netherlands, how did they explain you what to do?
I had instruction just about every moment I was schooling a horse the entire time I was there. It took me a long get the feeling. I am not sure how to explain how they…

OK great, thats swell, I am glad all was not ost in my attempt at translation. Thank you for your feedback:)
Anna Hawke replied to Shimmer E's discussion 'RollKur or Hyperflexion'
The idea of trying to explain to you via text only what I have learned challenges me. Normally I have either a horse I am riding to show somebody or they have a horse they are riding and can feel what I am telling them. Not being an expert on horse…

as for the abuse I have suffered nobody punched me out, it was not physical it has mostly all been verbal but verbal abuse can be very destructive. There have been other things to, people cutting of part of one of my horses tail, or putting dead…

Jackie, it was refreshing to read your story, thank you for sharing your experiences.
Regarding abuse, you may not be sure I was abused, however I am certain I have been abused by others in the sport of dressage because of my style. My point is…
Anna Hawke replied to Shimmer E's discussion 'RollKur or Hyperflexion'
I know I have suffered far more abuse than any other person I know who rides dressage because of the system I ride in. My horses have not suffered. Perhaps the abuse I have suffered due to being different has made me a stronger person because of the…

I could not imagine ever wanting to push my beliefs and riding system onto anybody else, all I can fathom is sharing my knowledge with another who is interested ready able and willing to learn; and that I would never push my beliefs on another who…

. Here is where I am coming from. I trained in Holland with a trainer who spent many years learning from Anky. What I learned there was priceless to me and better than anything I learned in America. It also has nothing to do with the majority of the…

Thank you for your thoughtful commentary. It is a pleasure to read a perspective that is coming from an open and thinking mind. The blend that you discuss is already happening for a number of people but they are not the same people who are throwing…

Furthermore I propose the cry out for compassion of the horse ridden in Rollkur and the accusations of the method being abusive is used as a red herring and that the real problem people have with Rollkur and the reason they have to revolt against it…

The point being in the link I posted above in not to show a bunch of “classically” trained horses with their tongues out or heads behind the vertical (which it does) and say that they are all wrong and should be stopped from riding. My…

You can take a clip of anything and make it look bad, and than start a whole entire movement against it if you build up enough support. The latter Hitler did and it was a sick outcome. To have so much resistance to the placement of where a horses…

I suppose this is what people would rather see in the US for dressage, it makes them much more comfortable it is what they like and what they are use…
Anna Hawke replied to Shimmer E's discussion 'RollKur or Hyperflexion'
I digress from previous posts to say to people who hate and despise “Rollkur”… Face it; Anky is in a class all of her own. So is her system of riding now termed Rollkur and it is her system, not yours. Most people will never,…
Anna Hawke replied to Shimmer E's discussion 'RollKur or Hyperflexion'
Riders being threatened indicate there is a problem with the person who is threatening them, not with the rider. When somebody is threatened because of the color of their skin do you think there is a problem with a person who has a different color…
