I’m a dressage rider, and this is the best way I’ve seen this explained.

Ah ha! Thank you, Mr. Anderson. That's what that blue roan I emailed you about (the video for the auction last Saturday) is doing. Too much front end. Not breaking at the poll and not being corrected. I think he's more than willing to learn but not at the priced being asked.

My coach didn’t explain why I was lifting. All I knew was that the mare was collecting nicely and the ride was very special. Lifting the front end. Got it:) thanks again for some important enlightenment.

Omg, thank you for this! I have been trying so hard for so long to get my mare to slow down and this is such a perfect explanation. Thanks for repeatedly doing it and showing how the process gets better and better bit by bit. Very informative -- and nice horse!

[sabinamarciniak]

Really simplified and so informative. All young riders and horses/ponies would benefit from this kind method of teaching ❤

[Sandra-cmdu]

Mr. Anderson, your videos are excellent. Thank you so much for sharing your horse knowledge with the horse community. You make so much common sence!!!

Beautiful video I totally saw the difference in the horses stride and his back rounded up nicely 👍🏻 I actually have been working on this with both of my mares for the past week and I really feel the difference . Pretty neat 😉 thanks for showing people all these insights in a simple way 🤠

Thank you for this video & explanation. I have had this issue with my gelding. I am working on my cues, communication and confidence every ride.

[kimberlynads]

Thank you! Great help ❤. I also have sand arena envy 😊

I’m going to have my daughter try this with her mare. She is an appendix and acts like she’s breathing fire every time she warms her up.

Can you give me more information on the squeezing? As far as, how long to squeeze, or should she be feeling for something before she releases the squeezing?

Thank you very much for sharing your videos. It is extremely encouraging and helpful to those of us that are not trained, but have a desire to gain knowledge.

how long might it take for the horse to start carrying himself better? weeks? months? I ride about 3x/week and my horse really needs to re-muscle and use his back end more. This looks like a great exercise to include. Thank you!

[tracyjohnson]

Tim, is this a good exercise to teach a horse self carriage? I have one like this I trail ride and don't want yo have to frame him up every time I lope. Thank you ❤

Does the kind of bit and weight of the bit you use in this exercise matter to get the head rotation you want? I would imagine a bit with more leverage or rotating action lower in the mouth helps. Thx!

[Gemma]

how would I go about this in a snaffle bit?

[jelnamacklin]

Tim can you do video on why a horse has a jerky canter for my friend.?

[kathewells]

My horse speeds up trail riding but I think it's due to getting nervous. He doesn't do it all the time. I tried your method and he seemed to get more and more antsy. Does this message address nervousness as well as what you are describing? Is it all the same? Do I just need to keep applying the method until I get results?

[thegeekyequestrian]

Can this be done with a snaffle or does this have to be with curb-type bit?

[clintonyourface]

Just wanted to say, great video but your horse is lame. Specifically on the right hind. I say this 1. bc it looked limping and 2. When a horse doesn’t lift up its hind leg off the ground properly when walking and drags the dirt this is a key sign of lameness. Plus your weight isn’t really helping the horse. Please look into it. This video seemed a bit torturous.
