Your channel has helped my riding so much!!! When you can only get a few hours in the saddle, its so important to understand the breakdown of exactly what you are asking your horse to do and how. So many trainers skip over explaining what goes into the basic riding commands. It's crazy to me that you have riders going over jumps before learning that fundamental horsemanship that you get from Dressage. Thank you!!

Love it, Andrea! Thank you so much for tuning in to our channel and we're super happy the videos have been helpful for you x

I am so thankful for this video as I have been struggling to do this leg yield for quite a few months ( even tho my horse could do this with her previous owner) . Your teaching to put ur weight on the side u want to go was my key factor in success. She did it beautifully . I need this for my test in the show ( first level) . It also worked for my cantering which I couldn’t keep either! I know these are basic, but after all my surgeries I became rather fearful in my riding! Thanks so very much for all ur tips in ur videos, which all help me. I do have lessons but the coach can’t tell me everything and can’t see it all either! Plus lessons are expensive! Ur visual s in teaching are so effective I can remember a lot more during my rides, (than others)! Thanks

Such a nice video that explains it so well. At the moment I'm struggling with my horse on keeping him on the bit when I ask for upward and downward transitions in walk trot and canter. He always lifts his head. I've heard so many things about more leg and half halts but l don't actually know what that means and when exactly to apply those aids.

@michaelarodgers4763

3 жыл бұрын

I also struggle with the timing of applying the aids because I don't know when exactly you have to apply the aids, for example in the leg yield is it when the front outside leg goes back you apply outside leg pressure. Idk if anyone else struggles with the timing of aids and when exactly you have to apply them

@ejmsj94

disclamer im not an expert, however something that may help is trying to get a little more engagement from the hind end so lots of circles and half halts. then try sitting for a few strides and if he lifts his head then keep practising just sitting a couple strides so that he gets used to that and relaxes so then when you ask for your transition you can just sit and gently push into the hand for the transition with less resistance. takes practise but is something i am working on atm with a couple young horses, hope it helps a little :)

Wonderful explanation. I've spent years being told to wrap the horse round my leg, control the shoulder ..never how! I just tried to copy what I saw and hoped it was right. The banana is king! The other big big breakthrough was the difference in changing my rein length and finding out that it held everything together. It wasnt loopy but that little extra gave me what I was looking for without hard hands..they can still be soft and yielding when shorter! Thank you.

I’m looking forward to your next video. I’ve looked for years for a good video of exactly what aids the rider is using and the only ones I’ve found so far is Amelia Newcombe’s channel. You seem to have a very similar way of explaining things so I’m really enjoying your videos!! Also I’d love to hear you explain in real time as you are applying each aid what exactly your doing, I realize a lot of it happens so fast but at least we could know the order in which you’re applying them.

He is a lucky penny .. an so darn cute.. But the ground work b4 I get on really gets him in a good frame of mind .. an ready for lots of suppeling excerises.. Now on leg yield he'll do about 3 or four steps well keeping his hind end in line with his shoulders ...which I feel is very good .. an the rest of the way his hind usually falls a bit outside but I don't fuss too much if he gets me to the focal point.. is that a correct approach.. I feel that youl explained that as his strength improves an his suppleness get better his leg yields will become more correct through the movement..

Though I am not sure it's ulcers...maybe just sometimes he is unbalanced in the gut or something due to seasonal changes in grass etc. Anyhow I've got my cuppa lets unpack this ulcer thing. Loving the videos and the continued support 🥰

Awesome, thank you Julie! YES!! OTT care is defiantly on the radar! One question has been focused around what to do when you loose your balance... So we might add a video in between this and step 2, showing what to do when you loose your balance! Thinking Alicia bareback!!!

Oooo..that would be fabulous! Whilst on the topic would love tips and tricks on how to introduce bareback riding into your tool kit. Been thinking of starting at it but feel a bit lost on how to attempt and would lean hard into a shared process 🙂

Did you see it!

Have loved this channel for a long time... the instructionals have been mostly great, and so far I'm also loving the switch in content/location/presenter. Bear in mind though, if you want to make the channel HUGE, consider that a majority of your audience are riding at a level (and on horses) who aren't necessarily even on the bit most of the time, let alone trained and responsive to seat/weight aides... Instructionals that only ever show how to do things on finished/high-level/professionally trained horses aren't so helpful to those riding ordinary/normal/naughty/green/challenging/low-level horses... I can guarantee you if I rode a leg yield with one stirrup and one hand, my novice-level horse would not do it anyway like Wessel does! Totally get that the point of this vid was to demonstrate how important seat/weight are, but mebbe start by showing how to install the buttons first...

I think u r doing a great job teaching all levels of us! Ur demo s on Wessel still give us the idea, such as shifting the weight which u also demonstrated on the wooden horse, very clearly! Ur coaching Ashly on Jay was very helpful to me as well! The leg yield lesson helped me a great deal, thanks so very much!

Thanks so much for your comment! A great place to start would be to watch Alicia's videos on the training scale! Here is the link to the first one.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gX56spdyeL3gf6Q.html

I would love coaching videos about showing in dressage at each level, particularly the lower levels. What should we be schooling at home before we enter a Walk-Trot test? Or Training, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc? What will the judge expect--Are we expected to show all of the steps in the dressage training scale or do they come in time? I know this may be a tough one because the audience is global and dressage levels and tests vary by country, but "de-mystifying" the show experience might help some of us who are less comfortable in the sandbox who still want to play! Again, thanks for this series. You guys are crushing it again and I'm SO grateful!

Hi! Love how this is all going and building. Keep up the good work YRS team! What are the foundations/starting points to teaching a young horse dressage? I have a 3 year old Clydesdale x Standardbred. Shes maturing so not being ridden yet but I want to make a good plan for our training when the time comes. What and how can you teach things from the ground specifically for dressage (not talking about desensitizing, tricks, basic manners etc)

Hi Nick, we jus replied to another of your messages. Think this link will answer for you. Prob watch the whole thing now. Alicia talks about this too!

This is a great video. How are you specifically moving your seat to create that open space?

@YourRidingSuccess

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Regine! Yes it can be confusing. And it is such an important movement, The aid and seat position, "The rider’s weight is shifted more onto the inside seat bone." (USDF). It is a real physical movement. You shift where you sit, but while still remaining upright in out torso. A few more notes that might help : ‘FEI Rule Book’ straight, except for a slight flexion at the poll away from the direction in which he moves. This is the definition of a leg yield in a test. You then have variations for training... (which is in the video), sometimes with bend as well. It is a big light blue moment for loads of riders!!! Hope it has helped you! xx

You always make everything look so easy! Should I be working on straightness first before I ask the leg yield? And does my horse need to be through and on the bit before I ask leg yield? On my OTT, I want him to be more responsive to my leg, so would the leg yield be a good thing to do so he listens to my aids? Sorry for all the questions!
