Except western pleasure:-D
A collected horse is more balanced and is under better control. Every horse should be able to collect.
yep, lol in western pleasure its all about how low your horses head is, and how crippled it looks. boy, what an amazing dicipline….
dude, wtf are you talking about?
Absolutely.
Many western riders actually care a lot about showing off their tasteless outfits, especially in western pleasure. Some riders’ attitude and looks make me wanna puke on their shiny shoes.
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
collection and submission are not even similar…it’s obvious that everyone at expert village is clueless!
If she goes good in side reins try holding your rains low and snug so they simulate side reins when you ride. This a good schooling exercise. I am training a saddle seat horse, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for a hunter jumper.
I think that it is rather contradicting to assume that you should make your horse submit to anything. I do believe that collection is very important especially when showing, however it is a partnership and submission is NEVER the answer, perhaps a different word should have been used.
although this is a method of collextion, I think collection is made by teaching the horse to properly balance and not with the reins. with using the rein and not teaching the horse to balnce by using slower gaits and proper turns, the horse wont use his hindquarters as much, he will just bend his neck.
If you haven’t seen the Myler Bit video, A Whole Bit Better”, I highly suggest it for anyone who may not understand the mechanics of bitting a horse and how it works in the horses mouth. I do not own a Myler bit, yet, but plan on trying them basis the info given.
I know about people that don’t even use the bit =]
It really worries me that these people are teaching others that know no better about collection etc. The ‘teachers’ really don’t have a clue. Expert village?? What is this sh1t?!
ya holy crap what do western riders know about collection…why not do one about how get some cows?! lol…im working on putting my horse into a frame…and u dont just use ur hands.
First of all, I agree with below, it takes tons more than just your hands to collect a horse. Also, this whole video the rider is asking and asking and asking for collection, and when he does what she’s asking she doesn’t give him a release? That’s why he’s tossing his head!
you bring a horse on to the bit, not in to the bridle! Another Expert Village gaff
All of u are dense. Collection starts with the reins and bit. A horse needs to learn how to react to bit pressure before you start working on collection. That’s basically what this video is explaining.
For those who think the rider’s not releasing, it may be because the horse isn’t correctly giving to the pressure. A horse may put its head down, but that doesn’t mean it’s giving to the bit. The object is to NOT release until the horse gives correctly. In my eyes, I didn’t see it do so.
I agree. They are wondeful bits. I have used one myself and it helped my high-headed horse learn to keep his head down.
you dont know what your talking about
Actually, what she’s saying is all correct. There are many different ways to control a horse but to be in a collected state they must have a rounded back and they have to take the weight off their haunches. It is not all from the reins though like she says, there is some leg and some weight distributing that has to be done too..So I disagree with her there, but at least she’s better than the last expertvillage idiot that called herself an equestrian.
Some horses are unable to collect due to their conformation. For example, a sway backed horse is going to have an extremely hard time getting into that collected state because they cannot round their backs very easily. So no, every horse may not be able to collect, but yes, I agree with you on how a horse is more balanced and under better control in a collected state.
The bridle work this “expert” shows corresponds more with flexion rather than collection. Flexion creates submission & not collection.
Collection always comes from the rear & not from the bridle. I think this video shows a poor example of collection. You can not collect a horse from a standstill while playing with the reins. I just hope some beginner doesn’t go pulling on their horse to get them to “collect”
ExpertVillage: FAIL
She is not horribly off but if you want to learn about collection try and find the book
“Make the Most of Your Horse: The practical application of collection in
all types of riding” by Jan Dickerson. I wrote a paper about collection and that was my best source. The book is really helpful; below I have the mla for it.
