Maui Dressage Training

It all comes from the core- being in balance and alignment, and then the horse will follow.

For the rest of us. I’m glad she posted this. There are so many beautiful horses and riders we never get to see, but those are the ones we can learn a lot from when they ride through their issues.

As many of you asked me to post that video as a reel, here it is 😄 Let’s make a trend out of it, who else didn't make it to Paris 2024? #didnotmakethecut #paris2024 #olympics #olympics2024

I love this reminder! ♥️

"Horses don’t think the same as humans.
Something that’s most unique about the horse, that I love, is not what he possesses but what he doesn’t possess..........and that is greed, spite, hate, jealousy, envy or prejudice.
The horse doesn’t possess any of those things.
If you think about people, the least desirable people to be around usually possess some or all of those things.
And the way God made the horse, he left that out." - Buck Brannaman.

Think of carrying the reins from the back of the elbow. So many riders allow their horses to pull them forward because they are not stabilizing their upper arms.

Throwing it back to this masterclass in positioning from Olympic bronze medalist Ali Brock at least year's Robert Dover Horsemastership Clinic presented by Zen Elite Equestrian Center. 🤌 A new year with new tips streams live from January 4-7 on USEF Network: https://bit.ly/usefnetwork

The best Buck quote ever !

"Until you can walk, trot, canter AND gallop on a loose rein with direction and purpose collection is a JOKE. It's not collection, it's containment for an insecure rider. Containment and paranoia. It's pulling and holding and you're just calling it collection to sound noble." -Buck.

Less is more!
