There is one principle you may never forget, and that is that a rider must first control himself before he can control his horse. This is the basis, the most important foundation, which must be preserved in equestrianism - Alois Podhajsky This is my fav quote ever. I live in Slovenia and so i had the chance and rode at lipizzaner only barn 3-11yo. right after corona was found in Slovenia, I had my last lesson with instuctor i had before us both switching barns. She drew me super realistic lipizzaner drawing and on the back of paper she wrote me this quote by him. And it made me work on myself so I could ride better and it is that one thing that really stays in my mind and one of many things that she told me that help me ride even after we went our own ways. She works at Lipica stud farm now, and I am on my way to start compeeting in jumping and dressage.

Outstanding. Such beautiful stallions. Read the book, "The Perfect Horse, The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by th Nazis," by Elizabeth Letts. Alois Podhajsky played a very big role in helping some of these beauties and his part is described in the book.

The book is fabulous. I’m reading it a second time. I’ve seen Airs Above the Ground in person ❤️. The horses and riders are magical!

better than now

Der Vorführer der Pferde ist echt Alois Podhajsky? Das “brrrav” werde ich meinen Reitpferden jetzt auch sagen. Uff, wieviel Zuneigung und Ermunterung darin steckt. Kein Wunder, dass dieser Mann soviele Pferde förderte. Obwohl ich sein Buch “studierte”, diese Stimme erst bringt all seine Güte und Wohlwollen für das Tier mit. Lesen, hören, sehen, fühlen und gute Vorbilder! Bin so ausgehungert danach! Vorrrbildlich, illiumDreamer ! ;-)

Beautiful levade. BEAUTIFUL!!! Actually made me a little afraid to watch more, y’know?

Very interesting video. Some outstanding skill displayed here. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!!

Magnifique! L'art équestre a son plus haut niveau.

Wielki, Zasłużony Człowiek !..

Danke illiumDreamer! Bin mediocre reiterin selber. Doch wo auch lernen? Damals waren die Hanken gebeugte, Federn, das Genick der höchste Punkt. Welch’ ein Genuss zu sehen, was in Lehrbüchern so artig schwarz auf weiss steht. Offensichtlich ist heutzutage kaum ein Reiter des Lesens mächtig. Gucke ob Du noch mehr Schätze zu zeigen hast. Herzlichste Grüße

Bravo! Humans kinda suck. But the collaboration between horse and human here is impressive.

Tortura ! Punto.

Is the passage truly correct? Watch the horse‘a ears. If THEY are flopping with the stride, that’s the best passage the horse can produce at this level of its development. Tense ears? Tense horse.

The horse could be listening for a command.

Auch die Lipizzaner von heute würden ihre Übungen sicher draußen an der frischen Luft lieber machen als in der staubigen Reithalle.--- Irgendwo habe ich mal als Erklärung (oder Entschuldigung?) für das Ganze gelesen, dass die Pferde die verschiedenen Figuren auch von sich aus auf der Weide machen würden. Bei 1:10 möchte ich das allerdings bezweifeln: Es muss für Pferde total anstrengend sein, fünf- oder sechsmal hintereinander nur auf den Hinterbeinen vorwärts zu springen!! Ich kann nur hoffen, dass sie das heutzutage nicht mehr zu machen brauchen......??!!

Dazu gibt es einen superguten Film von Horst Stern „das Pferd im Zirkus“ / Zirkus Knie. Dort werden Vergleichstudien gemacht zwischen Dressurübung und Dülmener Wildpferden . Sehr zu empfehlen 👍👍👍

Those horses weren't even saddle-trained until they were four years old, and were trained for dressage over the next six to eight *years*, by the men riding them. They were NOT abused, beaten, whipped, or treated with anything but kindness. Educate yourself.

Might I suggest “My Horses, My Teachers” by Colonel Alois Podhajsky? Once you understand the deep respect and love this man had for the horses he rode, perhaps you will see these movements in a different light.

I guess you’ve never seen two stallions fight. Even my geldings would use that movement when play fighting. All these movements, I have observed in horses free in a herd. Even my mare used half pass to intimidate another mare into the pecking order. The closer the breeding to the desert-bred horses, the more likely you will see this behavior in freedom.

It's always so frustrating for horsemen to have to be exposed to comments like this from non horse people. None of the movements of the Lipizzaner's is anything different than the movements of ALL horses in their natural state. No movement is trained "into" these horses. The are only "trained" to respond to the rider's asking for the movement by cues, body position, rein aids.

​@@LovinLnCottageI highly doubt those two movements are the same. Educate your eye and learn about biomechanics (the use of a neck as lever, kinetics like the speed, inertia, freedom to balance etc) before you go and lecture someone. As admirable these movements are, they are more like circus than what horses do naturally.
