Maier is amazing and one of the most awe inspiring presentations I have ever seen. Hard enough for most just to ride, he can ride and drive at the same time.
Long lining allows the trainer to have most of the aids they would during riding, but be able to work & perfect the horse from the ground. Many young horses are trained with long lines prior to saddle breaking, accustoming them to the bit & commands, but it is a training method used for all ages and levels. Long lining is especially common with show & dressage horses as it allows training & working that is gentles for the back & is easy for the trainer to ensure their horse is correct.
This is a real art. If only we could all train our horses with such feel and timing.
Amazing!
Aaron is such an amazing horse!

whats the long line training for?
a lot of people ride one friesian and long line one in front of them.
I’ve been driving for years, but I have NO idea how to even start training for any of that. Where can I learn that? Books? Videos?

Thank you for your intelligent comment. I hope folks take the time to read it. Aloha!

Looks good! Except for the bowing, try it without the pulling (don’t say you didn’t pull, I know this method way to well, unfortunately…)
I love how the horse looks like it’s enjoying itself as well. That’s so important. Thanks for posting!
