Re: RBent Branderup
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My German instructor always "reminds" me that compact, muscular horses like my Fjord need extra time to warm up because of their build. It really does feel like a "wall" until the hind end is active and they are loose in the back. I do a lot of supplying exercises with my horse, circles, serpentines, etc.,until he comes lower and softer. Then we can start to work. It is important not to push them in a frame with your hands. They must come through from you legs and seat.

This message is from: "M.Bijster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Anneli, how lucky you are to be able to take lessons from Bent Branderup I read he was to be the royal Danish riding-teacher ? I send a picture of his book to Lori, so she can put it on the list It is wonderful and all about classical dressage And indeed he does not write negative about fjords, but rather says everybody can enjoy his or her own horsey and they can learn many more things than most peaple believe. Especially with Fjords, who canbe so stubborn and strong in their forehand, it is so important to ride them from behind, instead of holding them before. In that case you encounter a massive wall But when you ride your horse from behind, the mouth can stay supple My Hansje is going sideways now, yielding to the leg to left and right, but some days in trot she makes herself still very strong, because she is not so eager on yielding. It is hard work for her, which she never did before. But most of her blubber is gone now ! When I put my finger on her behind, it no longer wobbles from behind to her forehand, as it did. My saddle also fits better. She can even jump, as we learned last week. Greetings, from Marion, Holland
