To call them clueless is a compliment. I used to read UDBB back in the day, when I was training level. Now I am showing FEI, and the same people on UDBB are still posting the same stuff about how they are conquering their fear of cantering. These non-cantering people are, of course, full of advice about how FEI riders could improve their rides - and are very stern and judgmental about BTV and Rolkus, when of course they could not put their horse on the bit if they tried and actually putting their horses behind, rather than above, the bit is some sort of impossible dream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-28680458484956613102012-04-09T17:21:49.166-04:002012-04-09T17:21:49.166-04:00Bwhahaha! Make that two of us laughing. Although, ...Bwhahaha! Make that two of us laughing. Although, you know you are reaaaaally asking for it from Google, publishing the p-word... I will look forward to hearing about more "interesting" searches! <br /><br />You are exactly right about magazines, no matter what the genre. Same old, same old, over and over, whether it's how to blow the BF's mind or get the right distances to your fences. So why do I keep reading Practical? I guess for the features that DO change (where would we all be without Jumping Clinic, I ask you), and the occasionally truly good nugget I glean from an article. "USE THE CORNERS!" How come nobody ever told me that when I was learning how to ride a course... <br /><br />Anyway, I haven't read any dressage horse starting books, but I do have some equally ancient tomes on the shelf which feature similarly unfortunate "horse breaking" techniques. As in, literally. I guess there were so many more horses back in the day that gittin' 'er done had to be accomplished as quickly as possible. Oh, wait, there are STILL trainers doing that!

This was the advice I followed (not from a book):<br /><br />In the spring of the horse's third year<br />1. Spend a couple days just tacking-up the horse<br />2. Spend a couple months longeing 3 or so days per week<br />3. Spend a couple days just getting on and off their back... maybe have somebody holding a lead while walking the horse around<br />4. Ride the horse WTC a dozen or so times<br />5. Don't ride for the summer then put them into full work in the fall<br /><br />Of course there was plenty of youthful exuberance, but I'd have been worried with anything less. I sold him when he was 6 and ready to show 2nd. Personally, I find most dressage books to be only slightly more helpful than message boards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
