Have you ever felt stuck…you’re kicking and pulling, doing everything you can to get your horse to go forward and listen? But your horse just gets confused and does the exact opposite of what you ask?
This week, we have a special guest! My husband, Germán! In this video, Germán is teaching a green rider on an experienced horse, and helping her learn how to read her horse’s body language and apply her aids accordingly.
One of the things that Germán talks about is “erasing the chalkboard”. Sometimes we accidentally end up giving our horses too much information. All that kicking, pulling, and clucking just turns into a long, muddled paragraph that our horse can’t understand, and they just get more and more tense and confused. In this situation, just stopping to relax, take off your aids, and reorganize yourself before reapplying a clear aid will help you and your horse!
As a rider, it is important that we are constantly assessing our horse’s body language so that we know how best to communicate with our horse and when we might just need to take a break or “erase the chalkboard”, and try again. This not only helps us stay safe, but also builds our relationship with our horse.
So, without further ado, let’s get into this week’s video! I hope that this lesson excerpt with German helps you and your horse!
Happy Riding!

not that green, more intermediate.
Excellent teaching from German. It's important to remember that for our horse's ancestors, it was better to be safe than wolf dinner.
I loved this one. German is also a great teacher. Loved the erase the chalkboard...the stop and reset to relax. And just looking to where you want to go and your body will tell the horse where to go. Thank you for this.
Very helpful analogy! I will try this in my lesson today. You're a great couple :) Thanks.
Thank you rider Kathy, lovely trained Horse and German for an informative n cool lesson excerpt.... and Amelia too. Liked the erase the chalkboard analogy and forward feeling hands gotta feel his lips. Nice one thanks chaps :)
Great video! My mare used to stop in the ring out of nowhere. Kicking did not work but taking a short break did. She no longer stops in the ring. Nice to see that we were on the right path. 😊 now she stops , when we are walking in hand in the park…head is high and she is alert. We have been matching steps, chatting and giving scratches. I have been waiting at the stop. I may, or not, get 1-2 steps and then she stops. This just continues. When we turn around to walk home,she does not stop and can be a little pushy. Your help would be appreciated. Thanks

Loved this video
Thanks Kathy and German.
Very helpful. Rider made it look easy though. I'm struggling with turns/circles. I feel like the horse, my chalkboard has too much written on it and I can't get my body to respond fast enough, lol.
Very helpful video. Love how u have your ring marked for circles.

Glad it was helpful!
The analogies are great! You all need to run a clinic out at your farm together. 💪🏻🐴
I have a really backwards riding horse. (The black one in my photo) I know he can move better, it's a lot of work to post a trot on him. The moment he does move forward and up underneath himself it's easy.
Hi Amelia & German I just had this situation 2 days before you loading this video. My instructor said don't allow her to stop, give it a kick, come on give it a wipe . But I didn't. I heard my horse saying what are you doing? . What this wipe for? I just stopped & tapped on her neck and put my leg & she moved forward. Before reaching the same corner again I tried to figure out why did she stop. There were 3 horses standing at this corner. I though she may have been distracted &before reaching the same corner again l decided to walk a little far from the corner and she dildn't stop this time. I got off my horse & I wasn't sure if I did the right thing&2 days later I watched you video I said my God! Amelia was watching me😊. Thank you for this and all your videos that are really informal, helpful & inspiring.

Thank you.
My horse will go forward until I say “good boy “ so I’ve changed it to “Brav”. 😂
What a good boy.
Love watching demo riders it really helps ..
I noticed her arms are straight out with no movement with the horses neck. I have an instructor who says this is too stiff and need to go with horses movement. Which is correct .

Yes the correct way is have following elbows which are bent. That being said we wanted to do this video with a student who is learning. It helps other amateurs relate when they see other people that may have the same riding issues as therm. :-)
I ride bitless, with a rope halter. How do I get forward???. ❤❤❤

A whip & a good set of spurs will get it going forward
I notice she gives him leg (taps him with her foot) every time she posts. Do you encourage that?

Hi there, You're right, you don't want to kick every stride! We're always working on something - even I have to focus on keeping my leg quiet. Dressage is hard!
