Horses with a burr under their saddle

Girthiness is commonly associated with the consequences of tightening the girth too quickly when the saddle is first put on. But although there has been so much progress in the field of saddle making during the last decades and the awareness of the importance of saddle fitting and careful girthing has positively changed, many of our modern riding horses across all breeds are girthy. On reflection, this does not come as a surprise. What if the reason for the girthiness of a large part of the horses concerned were to be found in the low back position?

Lateral Movements When we see horses during analysis that show considerable movement problems and we ask how they worked these horses, very often the surprising answer is, “My trainer advised me to do many lateral movements to straighten the horse.” Of course, this makes people think that they have done everything to pave the way into a good future for the horse.

Now there should be no doubt that lateral movements really have a considerable significance, BUT…!   read more

 

Borrowed plumes

Our photos, drawings and findings are not always presented legally to the public. We are astonished that even renowned and highly decorated instructors do not stop at registered trademarks – but we are also honored. The fact that knowledge, for which we were once ridiculed, is now spread on multiple occasions and without second thoughts in the form of our drawings, photos and passages of text via Social Media, on websites and via PowerPoint presentations shows one thing above all: how big the influence of our work is. But to understand, implement or even more teach functional training and the associated straightness training with all aspects requires a longstanding and thorough study of our concept in theory and practice. People who pretend what they are not contribute to the dilution of the concepts we have shaped as well as our method. After all, those who suffer most are the horses. At this point, therefore, a note that you are welcome to pass on: Please do not forget that infringing trademark and copyright laws is a punishable offence.
