Absolutely 😊🙏👌

Talking with master trainer, Hubertus Schmidt:
Can you tell you are working in the correct way, if the horse is always ready to take the rein and stretch and go long?
“That is one way to check that you are on the right way – in the high collection you must be able to stretch them so they follow the bit and they are not stuck up there. In every situation you must be able to stretch them – even a piaffe or a pirouette, even then, I must be able to do it."

A very good visual of the footfall of the walk sequence. Keep this in mind when I'm saying "right front sneaker left hind sneaker"

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 - a sneek peak at our soon to be released Modern Horse Training Volume 2.

If two opposing operant signals such as reins (deceleration) and legs (acceleration) are given together this contradiction will block the original learned response of one signal and cause it to deteriorate.

Every horse has a predisposition to respond more ‘enthusiastically’ to either 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩 or 𝐆𝐨 responses.

Typically, sensitive horses tend to have better "Go" responses, and less sensitive horses have better "Stop" responses responses.

When opposing signals are used concurrently, the horse foregoes the weakest one. Therefore, the sensitive horse usually has worse brakes (‘hot’), and the less sensitive horse tends to have a worse Go signal (‘lazy’).

Our team will release little reveal details in anticipation of the book's release in the coming months. Watch this space. ✨
