Does that mean you gradually release the reins as the horse chews? And do you only do this at the end of the work, or also occasionally? And how long should you let the reins get (assuming the horse remains well-behaved)? About to the buckle, or so that there's still a light connection?
I'm looking forward to answers or improvements 🙂

Loading...Hello, I want to fulfill my dream soon and buy my first horse or pony, and I'd really like to try out some ponies at Junkern Beel. (Please no discussions about the farm.) Can anyone tell me who has already tried out a pony at Beel, or knows how it works, how you choose which…
Hey, my stable owner says when I ride that I should ride very slowly so that she can blanch herself better, but then my horse hides behind the reins, gets a bit stiff in the back and my steps become much shorter what can I do about it

I've heard from a lot of people that they recommend shoes to me because my Fjord horse only goes off-road and a lot on asphalt and that it would be better for his hooves to have shoes on them. He doesn't get on so well with hoof boots because they always rub against him and…
I just watched the MDR YT report about the beautiful Falkenhorst stud farm. Does anyone know what happened? It's been four years now.
A friend of mine wants to learn to ride and yesterday she lunged my horse for the second time. We don't have a contract because she's not paying me and she's not a shareholder. While cantering on the lunge, she panicked, pulled up her legs, and fell to the side. It wasn't my horse's fault…
You should always do that as a break.
The dimensions may vary; important is the happy chewing, the diligent remain the backhand and the attitude of the horse. It should not press the head up/back down, roll in or get too deep, but let the neck fall out of the re-rist. The nose must remain in front, the neck must stretch, and the mouth must come deeper, but not deeper than the bow joint.
If at the end of a task it is called “to let your hands chew” you already want to see that the horse does not push the hand away, but takes only as much reins as the rider allows. The goal is to grasp the rein on the buckle without the horse losing or getting hectic.
and then after the break the whole is complemented by the correct recording of the draw. here “kaut” almost the rider the pull in the hand.
It simply means that you can easily open your hand and the horse will gently pull out the rein until the maximum stretch/length is reached and no contact is possible.
But that’s only half of what you want to have here… much more interesting is the following “Take Up”:
This must be as gentle, willing and harmonious.
Only then does this task show that the horse stands well on the help and relaxes.
You offer the horse the rein. This means opening the fist you have when riding. The horse can now decide whether and how much it wants to chew the rein from the hand. It is important to keep a constant connection.
