I struggle so much with downward transitions - I tense up, pull and stop riding, so annoying!! I'm trying to start analyzing while I ride if I can do something different, and adding inside leg has really helped! It's getting there 🙏

Thank you Working n smoother down are transitions

Your position is so beautiful - would you consider wearing light breeches when you demo - the bright sunlight, dark horses, saddles and boots - think we might see your leg position easier - love your channel

I am glad your horse gave you the opportunity to correct him. It helps to see how you corrected his actions. I will be working on this.

This helps tremendously! Thank you!

Thanks Deborah! So glad it's helping! Happy riding!

I can realise and see my mistakes during downward transitions. Thanks so much for your kind help !!😘😘😘

I missed the first 30 seconds of this video in awe of this boys tail lol ❣️ Great video, your fantastic at explaining 😁

My homework for today, thank you.

So relevant THANK YOU! I've been working on cleaning up my riding and the downs have become the bane of my existence at this point so now I can't wait to get to the barn and practice - 2 hours to go :-)!

Amazed by the way you ride. Looks so elegant and effordless. I hope I can be half as brilliant as you are, someday...Love your videos!! / Sweden watches you❤🙏🏼

Thank you so much!

thank you so much for showing this on a horse that had some problems also, it was so good to see you working with him!

Thank this was exactly what I was looking for. You explained it step by step. I really am struggling with downwards transitions, especially canter to trot. And been doing all the mistakes described in your video. I am hoping I can put all your advice in practice when I’m riding next time

Yay!! Awesome!!

This was so helpful! I was working on this during my last lesson!

I need this! We have some bumpy, halting downward transitions, particularly trot to walk. So, we will be working on this. Thanks! (Ozzie is such a handsome boy!)

Downward transitions are hard!!

I'm really struggling to keep my horse round through the walk halt transition. As soon as we stop his head flies up! X😩

Thank you so much for this helpful video, Amelia! I was just working on this today when I was riding, so of course, I searched for a video from you on the topic. The part I was leaving out was using my inside leg to keep my horse’s inside hind leg engaged…that helps SO much on him because my horse wants to stretch out his top line and “plow” down into walk transitions. This really helped!!

"Let me try and demonstrate a bad canter-trot transition." Me: I'm about to get called out again.... XD

very helpful video, thank you so much, the emphasis on the inside leg on to outside rein is a great tip !

Great to see downward transitions but if your doing a test and your on a straight line coming back to canter your can’t push them with inside leg on a circle Any help please?

You mentioned that it’s best to bend your horse to the inside to prep him for the downward transition ( canter to trot) . But what is the best way to set them up while having to maintain a straight line during a test , say from X to C?

Thank you! Do you have any videos with canter halts? Is it important to do some trot halts before working on your canter halts? I'm struggling to get a square immobile canter halt.

Just love these videos . Really so on point and wonderful . Question . Your leg looks a little longer . I’ve been trained in jumping and just grew up with horses with my mom. The dressage came later . My daughter is very into dressage and I’m wondering if the leg should be longer as a result ?

When you drop your stirrup, the stirrup should be at your ankle bone in Dressage

You talked a lot about shoulder fore, could you explain that please? Also I like to tighten my abs/core before the downward transition, is that ok?

I struggle with my horse with his contact he likes to over bend and completely loses the contact. I have taken him back to working long and low but I feel like he is completely on the forehand then and doesn't work on his hind legs but when I ask him to come back up he goes completely over the vertical and loses the contact, do you have any advice? He isn't a dressage horse he is a showjumper but I like to incorporate some dressage in our training.

Focus on moving him forward. Here is a video to help: amelianewcombdressage.com/dressage-training/how-do-you-get-a-steady-contact-and-your-horse-on-the-bit/

how is that braid called?

I accidentally hit “thumbs down”, so sorry, it was a good and useful segment !
