- The Key To Sitting The Trot Is To Put Your Horse On The Bit
By: Jane Savoie | - No matter how good a rider you are, it's nearly impossible to sit the trot if your horse is not on the bit. A stiff, hollow back has no swing. That rigidity makes it hard for you to sit the trot.
The key to making both you and your horse more comfortable so it's easier for you to sit the trot, is to put your horse on the bit. When he's on the bit, his back is round and swinging. You'll put him on the bit with what I call "the connecting aids".

- Rhythm And Tempo Are The Gold Standard When Your Ride Your Horse
By: Jane Savoie | - When you ride your horse, keep in mind that your priority is maintaining regular rhythm and a tempo that allows your horse to be in good balance.
Riding "movements" is secondary to keeping rhythm and tempo WHILE you do those movements.
So rather than asking yourself, how is my leg yield? Ask yourself, "Am I keeping the right rhythm and tempo during leg yielding?"
Since rhythm and tempo are your priorities during every movement, transition, or exercise ...

- Are You Making This Deadly Mistake To Put Your Horse On The Bit?
By: Jane Savoie | - One of the biggest mistakes you can make when riding your horse is to saw left and right on your horse's mouth or to vibrate both reins to get him "on the bit".
If you "saw" on your horse's mouth by alternating squeezing and releasing with your hands or wiggle on the bit, you're riding your horse from front to back. He might look like he's "on the bit" because his head is down and his nose is on the vertical, but you don't have an honest connection from back to front.

- Does Your Horse Avoid Taking A Contact With The Bit?
By: Jane Savoie | - Some horses don't understand accepting contact with the bit and your hand. They are quick to alternate from coming above the bit to curling behind the bit. If that sounds like your horse, you need to be able to quickly and smoothly change your aids to help your horse understand and accept contact.
When your horse comes above the bit, use connecting aids as follows.
1. Close both legs to send him forward toward a lengthening.

- Two Simple Tips To Help You Relax When You Ride Your Horse
By: Jane Savoie | - Fear is a very real issue for many riders so here are two simple tips to help you relax when you ride your horse.
The first tip is to learn how to "stay in the moment". When you're afraid, your mind isn't in the present. It's on what might happen in the future. Remember that 99 percent of what you fear, never happens. Why use up so much energy and emotion worrying about things that might happen but usually never do? Instead manage your fear by "staying in the moment".

- How To Get Your Stiff Horse To Bend
By: Jane Savoie | - You can help your stiff horse bend better by using a training philosophy I call "benign antagonism".
Benign antagonism is just an approach that allows you to custom design your program for each and every horse.

- How To Know The Right Height And Length For Your Horse's Neck
By: Jane Savoie | - Are you confused about the correct length and height of your horse's neck? It's a common question so I thought I'd address it here.
Neck too high: The height of the neck is determined by the degree of engagement of the hindquarters. So, the height of the neck changes as you go up through the levels and your horse becomes more collected.
Always keep in mind, however, that if you ride with the neck too high and short and the angle of the throatlatch too closed, there ...

- What's The Difference Between A Horse That's Behind The Bit Vs Behind The Vertical?
By: Jane Savoie | - A lot of riders are confused by the dressage terms behind the bit and behind the vertical.
When a horse is behind the bit, he is not connected. That's never acceptable. It means he has dropped the contact with your hands, and there are loops in the reins.
Your horse can be behind the vertical and still be connected. However, he will be on the forehand. I will go into that a little bit more next.
Sometimes, riding a horse behind the vertical can be use ...

- A History Of Dressage And The Dressage Saddle
By: Brooks Wiley | - History of Dressage and Dressage Saddles
The word "dressage" is derived from the French word meaning "training." Its origins can be traced back over 2000 years, when the Greeks used dressage as a means of training for war. During that time, fighting on horseback is advantageous and so it was very important for the horse to be in sync with its rider. Dressage would entail movements such as pirouettes, piaffes, and courbettes -- those which can be used in the battlefield.
