H2O and Barb

Hi this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride with H2O and Barb. Barb leases this horse and it is the same horse that you saw in our last video with my wife Karen Loshbaugh. The last video was the first time that we had gotten him into a complete deep stretch, so I wanted to show you the student working on the exact same thing.

Look how easily this horse is able to work with Barbara. This horse was very very stiff, she was the kind of horse that just pulled her head up into the air and jammed her neck back into her body. Now Barbara is experiencing her very loose over her back and swinging. Much improved, beautiful! So this is really about a month of training, 3-4 days a week, just getting her softened up and lunging correctly. We just started riding her, and you can go back and view the video of my wife getting that first stretch on her. Now Barbara is able to do it as well!

From the Blog!

Join me as I post weekly blogs covering many topics relating to Classical Foundation Training. I have intentionally left out the word "dressage" because many people have a negative association with the prevalent "crank and spank" approach or that it is a sport for only those who are afraid to jump.

Dressage as it is meant to be is an understanding of how to best optimize a horse's movement and ability to carry a rider, surely a benefit for any horse, any discipline. It is also important in maintaining your horse's safety, soundness and sanity.
