that again makes sense, I have nothing do to with dressage, or jumping. I am into the APHA/AQHA stuff. I do ride english in Hunter under saddle, but that is far from dressage. She has been taught this by a reputable dressage instructor and…

that does make sense aswell..This horse is abused though..and has learned harsh work on the mouth and "contact" as a punishment..to my knowledge..so giving him the release does seem to work for him.. With the contact as not being a…

SLC2, has a wonderful way of saying things..really. I am not familiar with dressage, I ride western pleasure so I am used to not having rein contact..but I can tell you that a horse cannot be round and collected properly without motion, and as…

yes, I agree. All of the instructors I have worked with always emphasize quality of gaits, tempo, and rythm to be able to get the horse round. You shouldn't feel like you have to force the horse into the bridle, but that the horse is willing to…

The right way to loosen her neck/get her round...?

I was just introduced to dressage about a year ago, and have started getting into it and am interested in improving the multiple things I know I'm doing wrong!
