  • Pyramid of Training – Rhythm
    Chapter 9 PYRAMID OF TRaining – RHYTHM Energy and Tempo Rhythm is the term used for the characteristic sequence of footfalls and timing of a pure walk, pure trot, and pure canter. The rhythm should be expressed with energy and in a suitable and consistent tempo, with the horse remaining in the bal- ance and self-carriage appropriate to its individual conformation and level of training. “The object of correct dressage is not to teach the horse to perform the exercises of the High School in the collected gaits at the expense of the elementary gaits. The classical school, on the contrary, demands that as well as teaching the difficult exercises, the natural gaits of the horse should not only be preserved but should also be improved by the fact that the horse has been strengthened by gymnastics. Therefore, if during the course of training the natural paces are not improved, it would be proof that the training was incorrect.” [The Complete Training of Horse and Rider, p 161] One important function of basic training is to preserve and refine the purity and regularity of the natural gaits. It is there- fore essential that the trainer knows exactly how the horse moves in each of the three basic gaits, because only then will he be in a position to take the appropriate action to correct or improve them. When establishing rhythm, “the horse should be ridden in the basic pace best suited to it.” [Principles of Riding, p. 160] The rhythm must be maintained in each of the basic gaits, and in each form of the gait, i.e.

  • Change of Canter Lead Through Trot on the Diagonal
    Chapter 19 CHANGES OF LEAD AND FLYING CHANGE OF LEAD Definition Change of Lead Through Trot “This is a change of lead where the horse is brought back to the trot and after a few trot strides, is restarted into a canter with the other leg leading.” [USEF Rule Book DR105] Simple Change of Lead “This is a change of lead where the horse is brought back immediately into walk and, after a few steps, is restarted im- mediately into a canter on the opposite lead, with no steps at the trot.” [USEF Rule Book DR105] Gymnastic Purpose The gymnastic purposes of changes of lead are to help develop, as well as test, the horse’s collection, coordination and balance, and to improve the quality of the canter. Qualities Desired The qualities desired in ‘Changes of Lead through Trot,’ are that the horse maintains his straightness, makes a balanced transition to two to three steps of trot, and strikes off clearly to the new canter lead. The qualities desired in a ‘Simple Change of lead’ are basically the same as the change through the trot except that the transition from canter should go directly to two to three walk steps, and to the new canter lead with no trot steps. The transition to walk must be immediate without any intervening vaguely trot-like strides, but also smooth. The steps must be determined and the four footfalls of the gait must be distinct. The transition to the new canter must also be im- mediate. The horse must canter straight and must constantly remain on the bit.” [Dressage, A Guidebook for the Road to Success, p 103] Aids The aids for changes of lead are the same as the aids for the canter.

  • THE FEI TRAINING SCALE 1. Rhythm
    THE FEI TRAINING SCALE 1. Rhythm - The Regularity and Tempo The first step of the training scale that should be established is the rhythm. The regularity is the correct sequence of the footfall, and, the tempo is the speed of the rhythm. The rhythm is the regularity of the beat in all paces. Steps and strides in each variation of the pace should cover equal distances and also be of equal duration remaining in a consistent tempo. The rhythm should also be maintained through the transitions within a pace and in all turns, also in the corners, as well on straight lines. No exercise can be good if the horse is losing rhythm. A loss of rhythm is often a sign of incorrect training. In order to judge the correctness of the rhythm, the judge must know how the horse moves in the basic paces. 2. Suppleness – Elasticity and Freedom from Anxiety Suppleness, together with rhythm, is an essential aim of the preliminary training phase. Even if the rhythm is maintained, the movement cannot be considered correct unless the horse is working through its back and the muscles are free from tension. Suppleness is a central theme throughout the schooling. It should never be neglected and should be constantly checked and reinforced. Only if the horse is physically and mentally free from tension (anxiety) or constraint can it work with suppleness and use itself fully. The horse’s joints should bend and straighten equally on both sides of its body and with each step or stride. The horse should convey the impression that it is putting its whole mind and body into its work.

  • The Art of Classical Dressage Riding Canter and Gallop
    THE ART OF CLASSICAL DRESSAGE RIDING THE CANTER CAN BE FURTHER DIVIDED BY THE FRAME AND IMPULSION OF THE HORSE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WHILE THERE IS A “COLLECTED” , “REGULAR” , “WORKING”, OR AN “EXTENDED” CANTER, CANTERCANTER ANDAND GALLOPGALLOP THESE ARE POINTS ON A SPECTRUM, NOT ENDS IN THEMSELVES. A TRULY ADJUSTABLE TRAINED HORSE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LENGTHEN (PART(PART 2)2) AND SHORTEN AS MUCH AS THE RIDER DESIRES. Compiled by Emmad Eldin Zaghloul TYPES OF CANTERS WHAT’S A HAND GALLOP? Jacques Toffi Jacques A Working canter is the natural canter given by a horse In the United States, show hunters may be asked to with normal stride length. This is the working gait of hunt “hand gallop” when shown on the flat or in certain seat riders. It is also used by all other disciplines jumping classes. The hand gallop differs from a true gallop in that the horse should not speed up enough A Medium canter is a canter between the working canter to lose the 3-beat rhythm of the canter, and from the and extended canter. It is bigger and rounder than the extended canter in that the horse should be allowed to working with great impulsion and very forward with lengthen its frame substantially and is not expected to moderate extension. The medium canter is common in engage as much as in an extended canter. dressage and show jumping. While the extended canter is intended to demonstrate A Collected canter is an extremely engaged, collected and improve athleticism and responsiveness to the gait (collection refers to having the horse’s balance aids, show hunters are asked to hand gallop primarily shifted backward towards its hind legs, with more to illustrate the horse’s manners and training.

  • Hunter Under Saddle
    Hunter Under Saddle CLASS DESCRIPTION Much like Western Pleasure, the Hunter Under Saddle is judged on the four following criteria: 1. Broke and Quiet 2. Soft and Smooth 3. Way of Going 4. Functionally Correct Broke and Quiet – Broke and quiet horses are free from major and minor refusals, and give the appearance of being quiet and willing to the rider’s cues and aids. Once it is determined the horse is broke and quiet, the horses are then evaluated on their quality of movement. Soft and Smooth – Soft and smooth movers are Hunter Under Saddle horses that move in a cadenced manner and hit the ground light and soft on all four feet when traveling. Horses should move with a large amount of impulsion from behind and travel with long, bold strides. Functionally Correct – Functionally correct horses are those that are correct when performing all three gaits. Horses that break gait and pick up wrong leads are not functionally correct, and should be judged accordingly. Quality and Way of Going – Quality and way of going are important when evaluating the Hunter Under Saddle Horse. Hunters should show a great deal of quality and style and should fit the part of an English horse. This horse will have a big, long, bold stride wand, and when traveling (especially at the trot), should flatten out at the knee and cover a larger amount of ground. The canter will be longer-strided than the lope of the western horse; however, it should be noted that Hunter Under Saddle horses should still be broke and quiet and level over the top line when traveling at all three gaits.

  • Ridden IBOP GENERAL RULES for FRIESIAN HORSES SUITABILITY EXAMINATION (IBOP)
    Ridden IBOP GENERAL RULES FOR FRIESIAN HORSES SUITABILITY EXAMINATION (IBOP) Responsibility The IBOP is conducted by the Koninklijke Vereniging "Het Friesch Paarden-Stamboek" (KFPS). Purpose The purpose of this examination is to establish a horse’s suitability for various uses and to do so with the greatest degree of objectivity. Every horse aged four or older can be presented for this examination (riding test, driving test or show driving test). Participation in more than one test on the same day is possible. Horses can be entered for the examination via the KFPS. The results of an IBOP test can be used for obtaining the star, crown or model titles (see the KFPS registration regulations). Location The location for the IBOP test shall be approved by FHANA. The test can be either indoors or outdoors. The hosting site will arrange for any necessary equipment required to evaluate the horse. The set-up of the area shall be the responsibility of an Inspection Site Host or other designated individual prior to testing. Countries other than the Netherlands IBOP testing outside the Netherlands is authorized. Jury members who conduct the evaluation must be certified and qualified by the KFPS. Participation A horse may participate in a maximum of two evaluations per annum provided the evaluations occur at two different FHANA sponsored events. (Example: a horse may participate at an ABFP and a Inspection, however, not two different Inspections). These evaluations can be in multiple disciplines per venue; however, in each venue the horse must meet all the evaluation criteria of the venue or discipline.

  • USEF SECOND LEVEL RIDER TEST Updated Dec
    USEF SECOND LEVEL RIDER TEST Updated Dec. 1, 2014 UNITED STATES EQUESTRIAN FEDERATION Purpose: To confirm that the rider, having achieved the requirements of first level, is able to ride the horse reliably on the bit with an uphill tendency. The rider lengthens and shortens the horse’s stride in trot and canter while maintaining correct alignment, posture and mechanics. In lateral movements the rider stays centered and demonstrates an appropriate angle and bending of the horse. As a result of the correct application of the rider’s aids, the horse shows a greater degree of straightness, bending, suppleness, throughness, balance and self-carriage than at first level. CONDITIONS All trot work to be ridden sitting. Arena: Standard Actual Average Time: 5:30 READER PLEASE NOTE: Anything in parentheses should not be read.
