Hi Trish--I never have handled a Luisitano but I did own a pure Puerto Rican Paso Fino mare for a long time. There may be some similarities though the movements are different. Both breeds are Iberian horses, and my mare was EXTREMEMLY fiery and resp…
Now I am trying to imagine the best way to explain how sensitive she is. Hmmm, if I breath out from a canter she will almost halt on the spot. Absolutely no intermediate riders can get on her - only advanced and we have only had two riders including…
What I mean by sensitive is that she tries to anticipate every move. I do in hand work with her such as shoulder-in, and the shoulder-in volte on a circle. She sometimes gets very worked up if anyone does in hand work with her. Also, under saddle we…
I'm not sure I get what you mean by sensitive.... he's not your breed, but he's been called sensitive. I make sure we do alot of work with him releasing his endorphins so he will stay level headed. Softening him, etc.... so that no matter what bridl…
Does anyone out there have any experience with the Viega line Lustiano mares? I have one who is extremely sensitive. I would like to know if there is anyone else with the same. The photo is of my mare's Sire - drop dead gorgeous but read your mind s…
Well, I am not entirely sold on the bitless bridle yet. We tried (mostly for the fun aspect) a bitless bridle on my mare - a very sensitive psp andalusian. What a ride. Wow, she was trying to figure that thing out from the very beginning - trying to…

I used a bitless bridle on her last week and the next ride with a regular french link snaffle she did not trust that the bitless action was going to be set in place again. You could see her think everything through.

Trying out bitless bridles
Well, I am not entirely sold on the bitless bridle yet. We tried (mostly for the fun aspect) a bitless bridle on my mare - a very sensitive psp andalusian. What a ride. Wow, she was trying to figure that thing out from the very beginning - trying to anticipate our wishes. pretty much all she did was passage for the first 5 minutes, do some spins and maybe after 45 minutes could we get her to walk.

Hi Jocelyn,
I too just started Dressage recently, and I have to say, with a good horse and instructor, Dressage is a blast! So good choice. :)
As others have said, we'd need to know what you're doing with your horse now, and past experience to give…
Thanks Karen....have a great day!!
The late medieval nobility turned dressage into a sport by giving public demonstrations of "horse ballets" to wow the commoners during public celebrations. They would do airs above the ground as well as movements on the ground. The late medieval kni…
Special thanks to Wendy Christoff for submitting this to DC's Communications Committee.
There are horses that do not think the little fences are worth worrying about.
Are you lungeing him over the jumps just in a cavesson, or are you using side reins too? Do you lunge over jumps with a saddle on? Do not use side reins (I am not saying…
Where did I state that medival dressage was humane and correct?
I have stipulated that the SRS under Podhajsky presented dressage more correctly.
I know who Kottas is and he is not a horseman!
Podhajsky was a horseman and even General Patton was a h…
