good advice

Christoph Hess tells us, and Carl Hester demonstrates:
“Give the horse the feeling of freedom when you sit on it, always the feeling that it can move forward. Most riders all over the world use their hands to try and control their horse, the neck starts to shorten and then it all starts to go wrong.”
And MUCH more from Christoph.

confidence is the correct contact

“To get a horse to Grand Prix, they have to learn to take the contact — you will not make it successfully to Grand Prix without proper contact. The contact from the hand to the mouth is key from beginning to end. In fact, a horse who is behind the contact is more difficult to fix than a horse who is heavier in the hand. They have to learn to feel the bit and the rider’s hand. A horse balances itself with its neck,” he continues. “When you see a horse ridden with a short neck, that means the balance is on the rider’s hand and the horse is not in self-carriage.” Carl and Uthopia demonstrate: https://www.horsemagazine.com/thm/2021/10/contact-what-is-good-contact/

Researchers provided a large number of images from the recent Amsterdam and Neumunster horse shows of top-placed dressage riders and horses.

Cant wait to officiate at the Defender Blair Castle International Horse Trials one last time; galloping back down the hill and you feel you are flying. Good luck all competitors 🏇
