First of all...You bring up an interesting question. First of all, I wonder if we have a confusion with perpendicular and parallel here. It is a common fault to leave the shoulders entirely on the rail for travers, traveling with them parallel to the wall. However, travers is a 4 track movement, meaning the shoulders cannot travel exactly parallel with the wall. They must come off at a slight angle to allow for the bend through the ribcage. <br /><br />You are correct that the shoulders do need to be angled away from the wall in shoulder in, but I would actually argue against myself and say that exactly parallel or perpendicular is probably way too much for the movement (also way too much for travers). I think what I am trying to explain in the second comment is that sometimes riders over-exaggerate the movement and positioning of their shoulders. The rider's shoulders need to indicate to the horse the bend and direction of their shoulders, but they need not be so exaggerated as to completely twist the body.

The rider's hips move where the horse's hips go. This is especially important in lateral work (shoulder-in, travers), but also in straightness.<br /><br />In shoulder-in and travers you need to keep your shoulders perpendicular to wall. You are riding a 10m circle bend down the wall, so look down the wall. <br /><br />So I in travers the horse's shoulders do stay perpendicular to the wall, but aren't they angled away from the wall in SI?

The bit about not overworking your horse makes sense, but it's so hard. I keep reminding myself that if I ride 4-5 times a week at least one of those needs to be short and sweet and not a 50-60 minute super intense ride with a lot of heavy lifting. But I want to badly to improve, and my little tb has so much try, that it's easy to forget that and overwork him so that eventually we end up with a ride that is pretty tense and frazzled.

She suggested EVERYONE go out and buy an ear bonnet with padded ears (those are legal now, all the time), not earplugs but padded ears, and show in them exclusively if your horse is the least bit spooky. <br /><br />So ... go shopping for padded ear bonnets. She also says to get one covered in sparkles, because sparkles are great.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.com
