Ima, I have been around long enough and seen horses "trained" by enough competitors to form that opinion. Not when they are performing but when they have ceased to perform, become unruly and perhaps...

good discussion...all I have to add is that not every horse needs every method. A couple of years ago I was horrified when a person who came to try a students horse that was for sale told me about...

I'm tired. Long day at work. I found the first video disgusting. Even the commentary was about how the rider should handle the horse's objections.I would rather pick up the reins and have my horse...

when I think of LDR, I think of a therapy exercise I did for my low back, however, Feldenkries exercises taught me how to do it in a beneficial way, and I had instructors who incorporated Feldenkries...

I know that exercise very well. It was one of a few I had to do after a lower back injury. It does feel good and relieves the tension in the pelvis all the way up. I might have been a bit harsh in my...

I'm going to say this until I'm blue in the face, obviously.You will NEVER see a horse at this level, trained in Rolkur argue with its' rider in the warmup ring. By the time they get to that point,...

Okay........here's a good example. A training session with Anky. Watch the horse's tail the entire ride. Watch the harsh leg aids/spur......also, check out when the rider does let go of the reins, the...

Wow. So......he is riding in RK? Perfect example of it being a really bad thing.

Since I lost years of books and reference material I cannot say with certainty but I thought one of the requirements for dressage was that the poll was the highest point on the horse. Rock star status...

Not impressed with that sort of training any more than I was with soring of saddlebreds, rapping of jumpers or tying western horses heads to their girths. I think it is a disgrace.This is the...

I'm not sure I would say he is riding in Rolkur so much as he is just doing a lot of bad hand riding. Rolur, to me is the super over flexed, chin to the chest crap that is HELD there for appreciable...

The horse in this vid has been held in the "position" for over nine minutes.......that's a long time. That horse was a spectacular animal. To ride him via the training scale sans ROLLKUR aka LDR...the...

Did you watch the interview vid? She does everything but answer the question of how long they keep the horse in that position.ZA

Hunh. No, I didn't see that vid until now. Not much to comment on, is there.......
View ArticleRe: Why is Hyperflexion suddenly LDR?
I cannot believe she does not know how long she keeps a horse in a that frame. Her explanation of why she does it is crap.
