For five years in a row, he has ranked for USDF Horse of the Year and twice Oldenburg Horse of the Year on horses he has bred and trained.Mr. Ventura also is a driving enthusiast

and holds an "R" judge's card in carriage dressage. Ventura has competed his Oldenburg stallion, Pointmaker, at Prix St. He and Pointmaker were 2006 Vintage Cup Champions at Prix St. Ventura also competes at 3rd Level on the Lipizzan stallion, Neapolitano Savona, and on an Oldenburg gelding he bred at his farm.

He trains riders in the use of good equitation as a means of sympathetic communication between rider and horse.

Analogy for quiet hands when your seat is following the horse. Quieter your hands the easier it is for the horse to fill up the rains through his Top Line. Watch her hands and elbows and you won't need a translation

Here's an analogy for all the Riders. Notice her balance is always lined up with the beam. In her tumbling work her spine is always lined up also her thighs, calves, feet, are working in concert with her straight spine. Just like a dressage Rider. The whole body of the Rider effects the horses balance.

All the practice we do not leaning to one side or twisting the shoulders can pay off. A straight spine for the Horse and...

Watermark died this week at 28 years old. He was the 4th generation my wife and I bred of Oldenburg horses is Sire was walk on top his damn sire was by Idol. He was 17.2 hands full grown 17 hands at 3 and was 48 in as a newborn. Needless to say he could settle up to anything you asked him to to climb on. He was a kind gentle horse. We called him Uncle Markie because we could put the Newly weaned babies in with him and not worry. He would even let them eat his grain. He was trained to Grand Prix .he had reliable ones, and a natural passage , huge extended trot . that he would produce for students. In the first picture is a second level test when he was young. The second is when I used him for a school horse after he retired him. Over the years many people may remember riding him.He was a sensitive horse with a gift for perfection. If I let somebody else ride him he would teach them subtlety in the midst of huge Gates. We will miss him.

I had a saddle representing a saddle company fitter tell me the flap made room for the horse to move their shoulder. Never mentioned the tree fitting the horse behind the scapula or shoulder blade . She had put the saddle up on the horses wither and tried to justify it. I agree with the top photo in these pictures.

Classical Riders learn how to ride a horse balanced early on in their training. Also what to do to correct the fault. I like to think we all ride the best we can given our ability and Circumstance.

They're really working together. Classical Riders know this kind of communication is possible. Fun to watch
