(01:23):
One ride at a time.
Welcome to EquestrianMasterclass Guided rides.
Hey guys, Laney Ashker here.
I'm a five star Event Rider and GrandPrix dressage rider, and I'm gonna
(01:45):
talk to you guys and give you a littleintroduction about our Building a Better
Cantor series in this training program.
I'm gonna give you a little bitof context in the progressions
that I've laid out for you.
In building this better balance, it cango through to all of your gates from
the walk to the trot, to the canter.
We'll be focusing primarily on thecanter, but you can make all these
(02:08):
exercises work for you at the smallergates if you or your horse are not
quite there yet in their training.
Okay, so what is thedefinition of balance?
Balance is an even distributionof weight, which enables.
Your horse to remain upright and steady.
Honestly, that definition goesthrough and fall and rings true
(02:31):
to anything in life, right?
We all are striving for balancein our life, so on and so forth.
But let's talk about whybalance is so important
specifically in horseback riding.
Okay, so if you're in a dressagetest, if you are doing cross country.
If you are doing show jumpingright, a horse that is in balance
(02:54):
has cadence in their walk.
Trott and Cantor has an even rhythm,is regular behind, not uneven.
Behind in the medium gates.
These horses tend to score better thanthe horses that are out of balance.
For instance, if you go into anupward, your horse's ears remain level.
When you go into a downward yourhorse and dive into the forehand.
(03:16):
Okay?
Judges appreciate and like a horse thatis lighter in their front end, right?
This is a balanced horse in the cross.
You wanna have a horse that's safercross country, that you can go at the
speed in which you're going right, inwhich the level that you're tackling.
Not have to change it so much.
The fastest horses in the worldon the cross country are the
(03:39):
horses whose rhythm really changesfrom the beginning to the end.
So they don't go really, really, really,really fast in between and really,
really, really slow at the jumps.
'cause that eats up not only time,but the horse in the rider's energy.
Okay.
So for cross country, a balanced horsejust results in a horse that's gonna be
generally faster in the cross country'cause you're not changing the pace.
(04:01):
Right.
Um.
And the balance of the horse.
Sorry to sound repetitive.
In the show jumping, you'regonna have cleaner rounds.
And it really doesn't matter if you havea little bit of a miss, but if your horse
is in a good canter in a good place tojump the jump, he's gonna jump it cleanly.
Okay?
Most times, as professional riders, we'rereally good at recreating that balance.
(04:25):
The second the horses land, it's not thatwe see a perfect distance every time.
The distance just comes upbecause our horses tend to
be in a better balance than.
People that are still learning, right?
So think of it that way, inthe upcoming mini training
program of building a better.
Canter series.
We're going to have three days of work.
(04:45):
We're gonna break it down for youin how to create a better balance.
Starting with lunging.
I'm a huge fan of lunging.
I lunge my horses usually once a week.
I've got horses of all experience level.
I have off the track thoroughbreds.
I have Grand Prix dressagehorses, and I believe so.
Much in lunging because if thehorse cannot balance with the rider
(05:10):
without a rider on his back, thenhow the heck he's he to balance
with the rider on his back, right?
So the lunge line takes away the rider.
Usually I have side reigns.
However, I want to stressto you in that bit.
I always begin my lungingwithout side reigns.
Not until my horses stretchon their own on the lunge line
(05:31):
will I put the side reigns on.
I feel sometimes that we can.
Prematurely put side reins on the horse,and then we're just shifting the balance
to the forehand because they neverknew self carriage in the first place.
So remember, before you start this series,try to spend a little bit of time in
lunging your horse, the walk the trot.
(05:52):
You can include a little bit of thecanter and see if your horse, as you
push them forward, can begin stretchingon their own so that they find their
own balance as opposed to puttingthe Dr the side rains on too quickly.
And making your horse kindof dump onto the forehand.
So lunging is a great, greatway to create a better balance.
(06:13):
The next day is through dressage.
Throughout this work, we will be.
Using tools, exercises in the walk,the trot, and the canter to help
you guys understand the skillsetof creating a better balance.
We're going to talk about upwardsdownwards, where your horse's head
(06:33):
placement should be, how it should.
Feel right when you are riding inthe dressage, A balanced horse should
feel light and airy in your hand.
He shouldn't feel heavy in your hand.
He should be listeningto your seat aids, right?
He should be light off of your leg aids.
We're gonna talk about that.
We're gonna go through a bunch ofdifferent exercises that you guys can
(06:56):
really hone in and feel that throughoutthe course of your dressage work.
On the final day of our series, we'regoing to talk about some grid work.
So over jumps, balancing, right?
It's one of my grid of the days.
I really love it.
I use it for horses of all levels.
I will talk to you about how you canrevise it if you don't have enough
(07:18):
room or if you're a little bit morein experience or your horse is an
experience where you should start, right?
But this grid work will help you feelover the jumps, how to balance right.
A horse that is a balancedhorse should not get quicker.
Should not get slower, but should remainin the same frame, the same rhythm to the
(07:40):
jumps, especially to jump a clear round.
So we talked about the why,why balance your horse?
Let's talk about the when.
When do we balance our horse?
So in the lunging, you're gonna feel thatyour lunge line is basically your reign.
Right attached to the horse's mouth.
(08:00):
Your lunge whip will be like your leg.
So as your, as you progress, as your horsebegins to stretch, you can incorporate
some poles if you wanna do a little bitof pole work with your horse, but as your
horse gets a little bit quick, right?
You're gonna think of squeezingthe lunge line, right?
To really think of asking your horse towait and start to carry and load behind.
(08:23):
Okay?
Especially you'll notice thatas you add the side reigns to
your work in your dressage work.
When.
Do we want to balance our horse?
Well, first and foremost, beforeevery transition, and I do a lot
of transitions with my horses.
So for instance, when I'm riding onehorse in a 45 minute session, I will
(08:44):
do over a hundred transitions, right?
These transitions consistentlyare rebalancing my horse, right?
So if your horse is trippingin front, tripping behind,
he or she is outta balance.
So.
You are going to think of before everytransition, before you change bending,
before you go into a leg yield, beforeyou go into a cant or upward, you
(09:04):
wanna take what we call as a half halt.
Okay?
So the half halt on the lungeline would've been your squeezing
of the line or your pushingwith your wi, your lunge whip.
Not to be mistaken withlike cracking the whip.
It's just a gentle pushbehind the horse's bottom.
But in the dressagework, you're half halt.
Is comprised of your legto your seat, to your hand.
(09:26):
Now, notice how I explain that youguys, I didn't go hand a seat to leg.
I'm thinking of always riding my horsefrom the hind end, creating that motor,
pushing he or she into my hand, okay?
The weight in your handshould be consistent.
You should feel anywhere fromone to three pounds, right?
You don't wanna have nothing,but you also don't wanna have.
(09:49):
Too much.
It's like a goldilock effect.
I always like to think of.
My horses when I'm ridingthem is I'm on a date.
And I wouldn't want, if I was really intothis guy and I was on a date, I wouldn't
want him to drop my hand out of nowhere.
It's the same thing whenyou're riding in the dressage.
Okay?
So you wanna think of consistentlypowering your horse's motor, pushing
(10:10):
he or she from behind, that he inturn puts weight in your hand and it's
the amount of weight that you want.
Okay?
Every stride.
You think of the horse's front end,getting a little bit lighter, a little
bit lighter, a little bit lighter.
That half halt again, which comes fromthe lower leg, your calf, a quiet leg to
your squeezing of your bottom, your seatright to your hand is so, so important.
(10:34):
Remember, if a horse can feel a tinylittle fly and these horses range
from anywhere from a thousand poundsto 1400, then they can absolutely.
Feel your seat, your leg, and your hand.
Okay.
Really important.
The last is in the jumping.
When do we wanna balance?
A lot of times I like to half halt.
(10:56):
There's something called a point of turn,and in this point of turn, as you're
coming out of the turn, you can decidewhether, when you see the jump, am I
going to accelerate to get to the jump?
Am I going to add to get tothe jump, or I'm gonna wait.
This is the point in time whereyou take your half halt, okay?
So that your horse is in the placeand the condition to be able to
do one of those three options.
(11:19):
Also when I land from a jump, if I'm ina related distance, I usually take a half
halt to sort of regather my knitting andput my horse's balance back onto his hind
leg so he can jump out of the element.
Now it's a little bit differentif you're building bounces.
'cause bounces are cool.
They always ask your horse.
To rebalance every step becausethere's no stride in between.
(11:41):
When there are strides in between,you wanna think of creating
that balance, taking those halfhalts on the landing stride.
And as you'll see in our work on thethird day, you will start to feel
where those half halts are basedon where your cavalletti is placed.
Remember, every horse and riderare on their own journey, so
(12:04):
where I might be demonstrating.
A canter to trot to a walk ora shoulder out to a canter.
You may be in a different place.
So try to revise the exercisesbased on where you and your
horse are in your training.
If I have a horse that's directlyoff the track, I'm gonna spend
(12:25):
a lot of time with he or she onthe lunge without outside reins.
'cause the last thing I wanna do isput that balance in the horse's mouth
when, when they were on the track.
They only knew to go on the forehandbecause that's how they got faster.
Right.
How do you think jockeys makehorses go faster on the track?
Well, they balance on their mouth.
(12:45):
They pull back so then thehorse can lean on the jockey.
We don't want that feeling, right.
We want lightness, so it's gonnatake a little bit of time, not
contraptions, but time to get yourhorse to understand that balance.
Especially if they're a horse that'soff the track where their balance was
only on the forehand and flat out.
(13:06):
My goal for each and every one of you isthat through this mini series, you'll have
at least felt and experienced one time ineach of the days a better balance in your
gates, whether you are lunging withoutside rings or with side rings, whether
you're doing training level to fourthlevel dressage, or whether you're trotting
(13:30):
in the grid or cantering into the grid.
These exercises that I'm giving youthroughout this series should be optimal
in having you, but not only you, but yourhorse understand a better balance where
his hind legs are a softer horse in thebridal, A horse that has a better jump.
(13:54):
Similarly, you as a rider, creating abetter posture, a better position, a
more supportive position to recreatethat balance over and over again.
I hope you guys enjoy this journeythat we take over the next three days.
I'm honored to do it with you.
Cheers.

at least felt and experienced one time ineach of the days a better balance in your
gates, whether you are lunging withoutside rings or with side rings, whether
you're doing training level to fourthlevel dressage, or whether you're trotting
(13:30):
in the grid or cantering into the grid.
These exercises that I'm giving youthroughout this series should be optimal
in having you, but not only you, but yourhorse understand a better balance where
his hind legs are a softer horse in thebridal, A horse that has a better jump.
(13:54):
Similarly, you as a rider, creating abetter posture, a better position, a
more supportive position to recreatethat balance over and over again.
I hope you guys enjoy this journeythat we take over the next three days.
I'm honored to do it with you.
Cheers.
