Thank you Mary.

Thanks for another great video. The things I enjoy are your attitude, gentleness and clarity, your connection with the horses, the quality of your horses and your camera work/editing. You keep it interesting!

I love the bond between you and the horses Joseph. I love when there's a bond with me and the horse.

We and Dom are so fortunate to learn from such an intuitive, gentle and positive teacher. You are also blessed to work with him! It’s really the trusting relationship between you that allows him to THINK about what you’re asking and agree to it. Awesome video, Joseph. Great work.

It is fun to watch your presentations AND your sisters. Love the sibling connection!

Aww Dom! He's obviously so intelligent and you laid out the question so well! He's very willing and you're a great teacher. Fun to watch!

Btw, Joseph. Your musical choices for your videos are super.

Just this dude hanging around those super high quality horses😁😁imagine how much work of breeders and sportsmen and riders is behind such a well bred animal :0

The breeders have done an amazing job. And also everyone who handled these horses since they were young.

You're such a good trainer. I can see the bonding going on between you two. The first horse in the vid is a real character with shavings on his head. 🐎 💜

I may never get to ride the piaffe but I will live vicariously through your wonderful Vlogs! I have a lesson tomorrow on my horse and will use your enthusiasm in my ride with Elizabeth Johnson on Rowdy tomorrow morning. You really have something special Joseph! Assuming you are in San Diego County, is it possible to to audit one of your classes, I will bring you coffee!

That was soooo exciting to see him do that. Utterly fascinating. I’m not that great at breaking steps into such tiny blocks so it was thrilling to see how it’s done. And he has such a fine personality. Good job to both of you.

This guy is good with sequence and explanations

Lovely video Joseph, one tiny request? Your whip is black and against the horse it’s hard to see, especially on the long camera shots. Could you put some white tape or similar on the end of the whip so you can see exactly where you are using it.?

Great idea. Thank you.

i like how this is broken down and on a horse that is also green to it. Every Piaffe video is always a horse that is somewhat experienced , It make it super hard to understand where and what the starting point truely looks like. I did see another video where her horse kicked out and she was like just ignore it Things like that where you can see the fails or the not so great yet lets you know how it looks to start. I started my horse on basics of Piaffe today.. Ended up teaching two of them because one got jealous the other was being worked with.

I watched the video where you took Fin out on a "trailride" through the suburb and you said do things with them! Awesome! Now I am hooked. I'm distracted from the world! I'm false idolling you!! Ok, just idolling, and speaking of idle! That's me watching your videos-idle! I'm also taking your advice to watch topriders to heart. I want to be Grand Prix now! If not now, tomorrow! I need the instructional videos. I learn something from every one of yours especially when you try to teach something. I can tell you have that "gift" and like how you treat them with honor and respect. That's the biggest thing of all. Plus I think I can learn from you! Its one in a great number who can teach! So keep teaching me! Your videography is very addicting. I have to go ride now. All the flies!!! How hot is it outside?!!!

Thanks for presenting this well- functioning, effective concept! It really works :). After 5 weeks ground work and using all building blocks i'm sooo happy :) Wasn't easy to get the correct half steps but yes, yesterday we did 3 of them.

WAY TO GO DOM!!!! Dom's like: "Piaffe-shmeeaffe, I want kisses!" Love Finch and his shavings bath! For those of us who own incurable spook-monsters, we prefer a Xanax or two as our morning meal. It helps numb us to the embarrassment of our flowing tears puddling up in our chinstraps as our horses spook for the ten-thousandth time at C, and then bolting headfirst into the beginner rider! Lovely video, as always!

Those dreamy eyeball moments are the best, aren't they?

I had the fortune to have my 2 week colt do the piaffe. We halter trained from day one just in case it’s needed for emergencies. We also have a soft rope go around the front of the chest and around the rear low above the hocks making like a suitcase with my right hand and lead him with my left especially at that age to protect his neck and not flipping. My daughter lead the mom while I handled our colt. I gently was showing him how to be patient, control his energy and go in my hand with his halter and to my pleasant surprise he started to channel his energy and the half steps in a light trot. I decided to put a little tiny weight with my right hand on the spot where the saddle would be and it was springy, light and rhythm. He went about a good 40-50 feet. He is a natural and we can’t wait to start him 3-4 years but of course be patient. 😉

It's such a kind and lovely experience watching you work with such gentle and powerful animals and I'm still unsure why it makes me tear up. Love works in so many mysterious ways, amen? You are an amazing gift. Merry Christmas.

BRAVO DOM!! 👍🏻

Hey, looks like you washed your car. Wait-, we had rain. My truck got washed by that storm too.😄 Really like your ground work videos, very helpful. 👍

I really love your approach with respect to not only breaking things down into tiny steps, but also taking lots of breaks or changing things up so they stay fresh and engaged. ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The joy and passion for the work you do is so evident in all of your videos.

I really appreciate the information on in-hand you have been sharing on your videos! My horse has gotten very good at lifting his hind legs and holding them up until I release the pressure. I have started to ask for the half steps. We might get them occasionally but I feel he gets irritated and starts kicking out instead of lifting. I don't want to be inadvertently teaching him to kick. I do try to back off and give him breaks. Would love to hear from others on this!

Dom loves you.

Lovely demonstration Thankyou

That was awesome to see!! So cool

Love your videos! you explain things so well

Great great job! You are wonderful at breaking things down for both the horse and the viewer! I wish I could watch you in person!

Thank you! Will give it a go this weekend...too hot to ride here!

Well done!

Thank you Joseph! I really needed this video. I'm starting in hand work with my 4 year old (Ferro x Jazz) for teaching leg yielding and as a fun part we also do the leg lifting already. He picks this stuff up so quickly, it's unbelievable! Not ready for the bigger work yet, but I can feel a change in riding him since I started to 'explain' the exercise first to him on the ground. Thank you so much for being my inspiration!

that horse is so charming!

Wowzer! Power pony! And Finchy... omgosh too cute the little sleepy head. Question. How do you decide when to start teaching them? Great video!

I love watching your videos! I’d love to hear more of how you two met and formed EDI...curious about the story behind it and who you are as horse trainers. Thanks for sharing!

I just LOVE your excitement! Which camera do you use? It's awesome.

AWWWWW hes so cute 🤣😂

Lovely! I know that was 2 years ago but do you remember the age of the horse at that time? I have a 3 year old Negro gelding that shows a natural talent for the piaffe but haven't addressed the half steps in our groundwork due to his age.

what do you do when they kick out rather than lifting the leg?

At what age do you start teaching your horse this piaffe ground work?

Do you have any tips on how to teach a horse to lift its back? Or would be able to break down how to ask your horse to do that? I feel like it is the big thing missing for me at the moment!

Cool! One question, do you use treats or just pressure release reward?

How many arenas are there at your barn? It looks like a huge place. Do you have to get there first thing in the morning to have the arena to yourself?

Were you still tapping him below the hocks at the end. It was far away. I couldn’t tell. Or was it on the rump? Thanks

I still feel like i am missing a step! my horse offers to break in a diagonal pair with legs lifts have done trot halt rein back trot again getting him following me and he know to pick up back leg alternately will do five or more. I know I am missing something. But , boy it really helps the mouthed work! And, really fun also!

Hi I want ask why are you tapping with the rubber part of a whip. Is that better? ❤️btw amazing video👌😍thanks for sharing this with us

@Sonie.....in my environment is an east german dressage trainer who takes 2 broomsticks out of his broomstick corner for forehand and hind legs while rider on the horse with draw (?) reins ( Schlaufzügel ) and with that he is knocking against the horses legs for passage the whole long side of riding arena getting legs higher .......terrible....in my opinion a horse who needs that torture from the ground doesnt need to do piaff passage at all , even a pony doesnt need to jump over 2 meter

What is your philosophy on using treats as part of in-hand training? Otherwise, If you are up for a challenge, it would be wonderful to see someone demonstrate training some of the very old-school collection movements like levade, pesade, and passade in-hand. Thanks for all that you do!

Treats can be good in certain situations. Some horses get too interested. Scratching them on the withers can be really good too.

I don’t know if you where able to arrange watch the Freestyle Dressage at Olympia Horse Show London the other night? I felt that the winner was using far too much spur. To me it looked like a constant jabbing in the horses side. It’s ugly.I always think dressage should show a beautiful harmony between horse and rider, a true partnership. I was very disappointed that the judges seem to reward this type of riding by placing him first. Would like to know your opinion?

I do sometimes but I feel I have more control without. It depends on the horse. I can position the frame more how I like and still keep connection without the side reins.
