We try to get a direct approach to the horse to get
a good communication, trying to understand how he behaves, and reacts to whatever you are doing. From there, you make your dressage schedule for that particular horse, because for every horse we do it differently. I think in the old method, that they still call ‘classical’, works always on the same training methods and they don’t ever change it; they only have one system, and that’s it.
The horse survives, or he doesn’t – he fits in the system, and if he doesn’t they blame it on the horse: the horse is not good enough. The horse is probably good enough, but he doesn’t fit in their system, and since they only have one system, that’s it. In our system, we have many ways to get to a horse, we have many more chances to succeed.”
Bon sang totalement à côté de la plaque mais j'hallucine il ose dire qu'il a une bonne communication, qu'il fait tout pour comprendre son cheval et que c'est le dressage classique qui a tout faux mais bien sûr
Il ose dire qu'il a appris avec des sucesseurs de Nuno Oliveira...
et voilà comment il explique :
The conventional theory is that if you let a horse work with his head behind the vertical, he learns to back off the contact, and loses his forward, but that doesn’t happen in your system because you work a lot of the time very deliberately behind the vertical?
“Behind the vertical doesn’t mean they are not on the bit. That’s completely wrong if people think that. They think the horse is behind the vertical, so he is not forward and not on the bit – that’s total bullshit. Horses can be deep and round, and even on a loose snaffle rein they can still be on the aids – if you push them a little forward then their reaction is again that they get some impulsion forward and give you some weight back in your hand. If you cannot do that immediately, then you’ve got problems. But we can also ride them very short, but we can also ride them immediately extremely long. They always follow the hand, wherever we want them.”
“Medically it has been proven in the past couple of months by professors and physiotherapists, that it is much better for the horse to ride him in a round frame, it is proven. It is better for the horse’s overall soundness, for muscles, for stretching, coping better with the work.”
Là il faut plus en rire mais en pleurer. C'est pas possible d'autoriser un tel personnage dans les compétitions internationales
