Trainer: Jean Bemelmans
Length: 35:31 Minutes
Ride the exercises from behind; control & activity!
This time Jean Bemelmans puts the focus on getting the horse to be obedient to the aids. They will prepare for the canter pirouettes, piaffe and passage, where they first really let the horse sit and be quicker, through various exercises. These excersices allow her to go a bit farther than the comfort zone, which sometimes is necessary to understand where we can go with continued controlled learning, so that we can work towards advancement.
Jean Bemelmans is a guest at the series of events “The Old Masters”. Bemelmans sees himself as a fan of the collection, but knows that it is difficult for many riders to imagine what a real collection or real expansion feels like. Often, according to the trainer, they only drive a little slower or faster with their horse but they forget the activity and the impulsion.
