Varför kan de som rider enligt Klassisk dressyr, EDL eller Science Of Motion ( för att nämna några) rida helt UTAN nosrem och ändå ha en helt stilla mun? Och skulle den gapa så vet vi att vi inte ridit tillräckligt balanserat🤷‍♀️
Orsakshanteringwn blir då träna bättre INTE sätta på en nosrem

Nu är kollegorna på plats, nu känns det som hemma igen🤗

Fin teknik och tankvärd fysiologisk förklaring👍
Hur tänker du som terapeut på häst när du behandlar nacken?

Från modern till klassisk ridning, vackert och se🥰
Du kan också gå ifrån LDR ridning om du vill och börja med ridning enligt biomekanikens principer istället, less is more🕺

Exakt samma resa gjorde jag som ryttare, från svårt och tungt till samförstånd och dans🕺

I used to believe contact was created by the legs and seat.

For years I was told I would achieve that holy grail of the horse reaching forwards into a gorgeous soft contact, by riding forwards correctly from my leg and seat.

Meanwhile the advice for my actual hands was:

Keep them low (but not too low). Still (but not fixed). Hold the reins like teacups, thumbs on top. But please don’t ask too many more questions about what the hands should actually DO.

Because apparently the body parts in direct physical contact with the horse’s mouth didn’t have much to do with creating good contact at all 🤯.

Except I had ridden my horses forward into the hand for years and years.

I had worked and worked on my seat.

And STILL they usually carried themselves behind the vertical and the contact felt clunky at best.

Never did it feel like the elastic conversation I was searching for.

And when I looked closely at other horses trained this way… I saw it wasn’t just me struggling.

Now I know the hands matter. A LOT.

The seat and legs absolutely have a hugely important role to play in creating energy, posture and balance but without an educated hand and a vocabulary of rein aids, “contact” can so easily become something the horse learns to submit to, rather than a conversation that helps them find emotional and physical balance.

Learning that I could teach my horse a clear language of rein aids changed everything.

How many individual conversations do you and your horse have through the reins?

Can you ask:

• Mobilise your jaw (let go of tension)
• Bend laterally left and right
• Lengthen your neck
• Lift through the base of the neck and withers
• Rebalance without bracing

I genuinely can’t imagine trying to train a horse again without having this language available.

Vi har inga problem och rida hästen i så fel rörelsemönster och ”form” med LDR ideal så de flesta är tvungna att använda snokrem, det är liksom vedertaget och fullt accepterat, att fråga sig varför och kanske verkligen lära sig biomekanik verkar hittills de flesta lärosäten ha ett gediget motstånd till( och till viss del med förståelse då bedömningen fortfarande hyllar LDR form)
Men jag tror de flesta hade tyckt synd om hunden?🤷‍♀️

TRASH THE FLASH! - This is such a refreshing take from Horsemanship Saddlery UK Ltd. and one of the reasons I love to carry their range of bridles for fitting,

"We don't make any nosebands which have a strap that goes under the bit. They make any bridle non-anatomical.

A horse must have free jaw movement. If the jaw is restricted in any way, then the Hyoid and TMJ are both compromised. This affects both front and hind limb action, as nerves to both areas are connected to the TMJ.

Added to this, any strap which goes under the jaw is forced to sit directly on the Mental Foramen - a bundle of nerves that comes out of a hole in the skull exactly where the strap sits. This numbs the lower jaw, tongue, lips, etc. and eventually causes pain.

You would never dream of strapping a dog's mouth shut, so why do it to a horse? Don't follow the crowd! - TRASH THE FLASH!!"

👏👏👏 I would love to see more brands follow suit. Every time I walk in to a tack show, rows upon rows of flash bridles (and anyone over 30 remembers that this was NOT normal until they became a new trend).

Förutom att det går exemplariskt långsamt där hästen hinner bygga styrka och rätt rotation, så blir jag så glad att se ryttarens position
Kan ni se var hon lägger en uns mer tyngdpunkt för att få rätt rotation i förhållande till sidböjningen?
