Love the fact that it’s not really about the horses. It’s almost always the person and they just don’t understand what they’ve done to have it happen till someone like Warwick points it out. It’s great.
Warwick, this video was absolutely engrossing and it also reinforced my feeling that we humans are our horses biggest problem. Stay safe with all the travelling.
O .... M .... G..... Lightbulb moment!!! Leg yield, haunches in. Dang!! Cant wait to try this. THANK YOU!
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you!! You have given me much 'food for thought'. My horse slows and tries to walk after the change, because i initially taught the figure 8 with a walk between canter strides, he thinks this is how we do it! Our ponies are always making us think! I must now think more forward while keeping my leg on .... wish you were here! Wish me luck! :)
One of the most interesting videos ever. Thanks so much.
Great again. I love seeing horses and theyr rider, while you explane the principles we sometimes forgot to follow. Best regards from Buxtehude, Germany
I also saw a rider getting left behind the action and catching balance on the horses mouth. Prep for leg yeld plus being active to then halt, kept the rider closer to center.
It worked fine... that's hard work.
Hello Edward how’s the weather over there
The change in that mare was amazing, I've never had such lessons, although I've been able to teach changes down to four paces, always with a bit of a hitch. This might be one of the most enlightening vids you've put up.
Couldn't figure the flat cap, but I guess "When in Rome......" or England. You look the part. Good on you.
Hello Louise how’s the weather over there
This was excellent! I've never broken it down like that. Really helpful. Thank you.
Hello Sarah how’s the weather over there

Hello Katarina how’s the weather over there
This is excellent. Thank you so much for breaking it down!
fantastic ! thank you warwick
Just fabulous!
Brilliant as usual:)
Hello Rosalind how’s the weather over there
Another excellent lesson! Thanks Warwick
You are so good at what you do. Great video. Thanks!
Really, really awesome video. My current horse doesn’t do flying lead changes at all. Once we get working again it is definitely on the list of long term goals.
Spectacular explanation
Hello Sara how’s the weather over there
oh my Gosh! So awesomely explained! You Mr. Schiller are an awesome trainer!! ❤️👍
I’m enjoying and applying the principles in this series. Thanks.
Hello Lisa
Warwick, this helped me so much! I’m looking forward to the day you do a video about a horse who won’t change or only will change in the front and then cross canters, but changes in the field or free lunge no problem!? Though I think these principles may help! Thank you!
I have a few full length videos on that on the subscription
Fantastisk, vildt godt.
EXCELLENT!
Brilliant 👏
Hello Patti how’s the weather over there
When are you coming to Australia?
Hello Rosalind how’s the weather over there
Classic haha fantastic!
Great video
Hello Gaylaylnn how’s the weather over there
What should the aids be for the leg yield right while in the right lead? Normally for a leg yield I’d have inside leg (inside of the bend) at the girth and outside leg back, however if you do that in canter that would mean changing your aids which would also ask the horse to change.. shouldn’t it be more of a half pass with very little angle/bend and not so much a leg yield ? Very interesting video, thank you for sharing!
Where were you in the UK? On the Isle of Wight? There's a poster for Wight link ferries ...
That one was in east Susex.
Hello Gemma how’s the weather over there
Lol, you look perfectly natural dressed in a European fashion!
Hello Sarah how’s the weather over there
Any tips on getting them to change without going disunited? He will change on command but cross-fires, never changes behind
hannah ....Ha ha! My boss's mare is a master of the cross-fire, she does it deliberately, to disconcert, as soon as a canter along starts to feel good, pop, changes the front. Either way, its about not wishing it to feel good. My answer, and I'm likely cantering along the side of a quiet road, is the moment she does it, come down to trot then send her again and she'll get that hind leg under her so we've done a simple change. So we're travelling along doing simple changes which she is instigating. She learned it was easier just to hack along nicely. But I can't educate the boss! You can master the simple change with half-halts, gets them thinking "hind", which loose in the paddock cavorting about, they'll change the hind first. Bring down the number of trotting paces, until none are needed. He needs to understand. Can become a very bad habit, cross-firing.
@@louisecassidy5991 thank you! He will literally do barely even one step of trot before changing, so we have mastered the simple change. I guess we just have to keep doing it and reward once he has done the simple change but ignore the cross-fires?
hannah ....No, never ignore the cross-fire, down to trot, or. a half halt might do it, that is, all signals to stop, but don't come to a halt, it gets the hind legs under them. If I could see you I'd understand better if you have issues, but get your stirrups as long as possible while still being able to rise, that brings the seat forward and the weight off his back, he carries you over his withers, frees up the hind for collection, elevation, impulsion. Sitting too far back and you're sitting on the drive shaft, and causes them to get over-bent and all strung out behind. Top dressage they ride REALLY long and the latest saddles are made for it. Simply put, the front legs are vertical pillars, weight carrying, the hind all springing and engine. The spine has no visible means of support, weight needs to be in your feet, and those inner thigh muscles. I would reward only by a slight release of reins, canter on free, do a lap or so then down to free walk with a pat. Have a look at Warwick Schiller, he recently did a brilliant video on the subject.
@@louisecassidy5991 sorry that's not what I meant. He comes back to trot for one step and back onto the correct lead. I never said I come back to a halt? What I meant by ignoring the cross-fires is not to try and correct while in the canter
How is your haunches in ?
if its not flawless, then that is your problem.
Reminds me of one of Clinton's methods. If the horse anticipates going one way or another, he has them do the opposite.
They basically are.... except Clinton's are a bit more.... rough around the edges and "git 'er done" rather than methodical and psychological and calm (Warwick's mentality). If that makes sense. Both are GREAT trainers, but Clinton's a bit too "yee haw" loud for me.
Clinton Anderson just beats the crap out of his horses until they are so broken mentally they just give in. One of the worst “top” trainers I’ve seen imo
What I learned from this video is that its not the horses anticipation thats the problem its the riders. It's always the rider. Warwick is all class Clinton doesn't compare.
@@NicO-mb2hz Clinton is tell, Warwick is listen. Studying both creates a well-rounded education...but after watching Warwick, Clinton is a bit rougher with them than I feel is necessary (talking about show training here, not the problem horse cases.)
@@NicO-mb2hz Coming back to this a little wiser than before, Warwick does show that it's not necessary to be aggressive with your horse in most cases. Frederic Pignon is like that, too. The horse listens because he wants to. That's the way I want to do things, too.
Did you notice that when she asks for the change she whacks him in the side with those spurs? Any chance that was causing the jump? Yep, just watched it again. She asks, he steps and then she bangs him again.
Begs the question of course of why a rider of that skill level is even wearing those spurs in the first place, but I'll leave that rant for another day.
Did you even notice that didnt happen at the end?
@@WarwickSchiller I did. But I also noticed she stopped kicking him in the ribs with the spurs post change.
