Debbie McDonald Teaching How to Start Passage

From the moment you pick up your reins and start the work your horse must be reactive and forward thinking. This video shows you that once you have established those two boundaries with your horse elevating the trot to develop the passage becomes very simple and quiet.
In developing the quiet and simple transition between the passage and the collected trot you will be schooling and elegant and effective passage for riding dressage in the show ring. Sustaining and developing the balance of the passage is key to the success of this exercise.

I wish theyd correct get him more forward to allow him to totally come through and get his head above the virtacle... I don't car how little a horses head his behind, it is not through or correct.

So can any horse passage or do they need to be taught?

[danielthomas]

Why does the horse have its chin on his chest?

Love Debbie, nice horse and nice rider but am tired of this fad of seeing horses completly behind the verticle. This doesn't need to be the case to achieve engagement of the hindquarters.
