    Flying changes are a beautiful movement and they really show off a rider and a dressage horse, but they do require some fairly special preparation to learn properly.
    Today we have a training session with our very own Alicia looking at the things you need to do on your horse to help him be as relaxed and prepared for flying changes as possible. We look at how to use your body - and how to use your aids - to give them the confidence to take off into the air for you and land perfectly every time!
    Tune in as Alicia goes over the basics on how you can easily get your horse ready for changes and avoiding frustration. The most important thing to do is get yourself ready!
    We talk about all of this in detail, and more, in todays episode!
    In your dressage journey, you will definitely encounter challenges as you go along in the training. The list could go on and on. The good news is that this channel is committed in helping you with your questions by coming up with real and actual solutions!
    Everyone deserves to reach their riding goals and we hope to be part of your success!
    Make sure you leave a comment with your biggest learning from the episode - we love hearing from you!

    when I was about 11/12 I finished my dressage intro level A(on my friesian draft cross), then we had a few minutes to canter.. keep i n mind it was about my 2nd or 3rd time cantering, Near the end I actually got her to do a flying change (we didn’t even know she could do a flying change lol , she’s an ex-plow horse.) my trainer was so surprised

The horse, didnt made a Flying Change in all his life, so I will pursue on my way. If I find it!and reach it, promise, to hang the achievement.Great instructions. Congrats!

    • @YourRidingSuccess
      @YourRidingSuccess  Před 3 lety +5

      Absolutely!
      Alicia said that timing info may also help too. she has sent us this to show. x
      For a flying change from left to right:
      Timing:
      You need to give the aid at the moment of suspension, just before the horse will take the new leading leg. (In this case the left hind). Think of the timing of this aid as you asking for the change when the horse is coming down in his stride because then he will do the change when he comes up.
      Seat:
      Adjust your right seat bone to be more in the new small ribcage (the banana)
      Right leg:
      Is passive at the girth
      Left leg:
      Swing your left leg behind the girth to signal the new outside hind leg to strike off into the new lead. (Don’t hold this leg back. Pretend your leg is spring-loaded so you give a quick aid.)
      Reins:
      Both remain even

    I love that you used a horse who isn't picture perfect (but still makes it look way to easy LOL). Im for sure gonna try it with this in mind next time.
    Would love it if you would be able to do a troubleshooting video with the same topic. Like what to do if your horse is late behind or kicks one of his hind legs out or rushes after the change? It would probably mean that your canter isn't correct enough, but the how and why would be really appreciated!

    Thank you! Fab explanation and great detail on where you need to be before starting the changes 👍🏻 Love that you’re showing these on a horse that hasn’t been doing them for 5 years already, but one that’s quite new to it still. We’re so close, but just need to keep our rhythm in shoulder in/travers better in the canter first! 🦄

      If you are losing rhythm in the shoulder in and travers. Go for less angle. Only go to where you can keep the rhythm, even if it is only shoulder fore by 1cm or quarter in by .05cm.... just stay within what the rhythm allows you too. As he get stronger, you just build and build xxx

I now know what I need to work on to get to flying changes which is great! I wondered if you could go into more detail on timing at some point.. I can do walk to canter but with the change I am a little confused as to how I find that ‘feel’ of when to ask. Thanks a million xx

    • @YourRidingSuccess
      @YourRidingSuccess  Před 2 lety

      Hi Lola! Great suggestion! Ultimitately, asking for a flying change is the same as asking for a walk to canter with timing because it is just putting the aid on. The thing with flying changes is that in the begining you need to think about where the horses body is and the way of going as that is more conducive to getting the change rather than "timing." If you can't get the flying change there is most likely something else going on that you need to work on i.e. improving the horses way of going.

    Thanks for this awesome video! As many others have said the banana idea is super helpful! My biggest struggle with the changes is I override them and get all over the place 😫 and my mare has learnt to anticipate this so she flops around her front legs and disunites all the time 😒 I often feel like I don’t have enough control over where her hind end is? Would working on getting my travers better help this?

    • @YourRidingSuccess
      @YourRidingSuccess  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Laura,
      In general, if a horse is disuniting it means they have the majority of their weight on their inside front leg. Meaning that they need to move their weight to the outside hind leg.
      Use exercises like leg yield in the canter. Shoulder in/fore and LOADS and LOADS of tempo change. When you do the tempo change, ALWAYS ride shoulder in or leg yield into the transition and slightly out. This will ensure the horse stays up in the shoulders and doesnt put the hand break on the forehand.
      Hope this helps!
      Alicia xx

      Both remain even
      The Timing is very very important. Practice walk to canter often before attempting changes, the aid is very similar.

    When you say "true bend" in the counter-canter, what do you mean? Is it bending to the outside as your horse is going or is it somehow bending the "wrong way" to the inside?

    • @YourRidingSuccess
      @YourRidingSuccess  Před 3 lety +2

      Good question! We have given this one to Alicia
      "In a true bend, the horse should bend along his whole body with his rib cage expanded outward (the banana analogy) and his pole flexed in the direction he is moving."
      When in counter canter, the horses are ultimately bent away of the direction of travel. So as we start to gymnasticize the canter, the horse gets more supple so he is able to canter in the counter - but his body shaped as if he was in true canter."
      Hope that helps! x

    @lindog51 Před 3 lety

    After what footfall at the walk should you ask for canter? I never have a problem as I think I feel it without consciously knowing what I am doing. I must be asking for it when the outside hind is ready to step, but what leg makes a footfall before that outside hind is free?

    • @YourRidingSuccess
      @YourRidingSuccess  Před 3 lety +1

      Thats right linda,
      Walk to canter aid is the same as the flying change aid. Except, there is no moment of suspension.
      See below, Hope this helps! xx
      For a flying change from left to right:
      Timing:
      You need to give the aid at the moment of suspension, just before the horse will take the new leading leg. (In this case the left hind). Think of the timing of this aid as you asking for the change when the horse is coming down in his stride because then he will do the change when he comes up.
      Seat:
      Adjust your right seat bone to be more in the new small ribcage (the banana)
      Right leg:
      Is passive at the girth
      Left leg:
      Swing your left leg behind the girth to signal the new outside hind leg to strike off into the new lead. (Don’t hold this leg back. Pretend your leg is spring-loaded so you give a quick aid.)
      Reins:
      Both remain even

    So it turns out, my counter canter left rein is fine. My counter canter right is not. Even when we complete a normal canter right, her quarters come in slightly and if I don't put my inside leg back, she canters crooked. How do i correct this without having to keep my leg pushing her butt straight?

    • @YourRidingSuccess
      @YourRidingSuccess  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Naomi,
      YAY!!! So good you found out! Go you!!!!!
      So, lets fix it.....
      In general, if a horse has his quarters in this means he is just lacking suppleness.... It also means they have the majority of their weight one front leg the majority of the time.
      This can cause many issues, but in relation to the canter, on one side she will struggle more.
      Help her become more supple and fix the straitness issue. When you are cantering, DONT help her with your leg to keep her straight. Take the quarters in as a sign to fix the shoulder, not to hold the hind leg. Remember, that it is due to lack of suppleness that she is doing this. Also remeber that the hind follows the shoulders. So if you want to move the quarters, move the shoulder instead.
      Use exercises like leg yield in the canter. Shoulder in/fore and LOADS and LOADS of tempo change. When you do the tempo change, ALWAYS ride shoulder in or leg yield into the transition and slightly out. This will ensure the horse stays up in the shoulders and doesnt put the hand break on the forehand.
      Dont be afraid to only canter a few strides, before you make a downward transition to trot, or turn a circle with some leg yield for example. Again remember, that the issue is due to lack of suppleness, so if you keep going around and around it wont fix the underlying issue. Fix the issue not the symptom
      Hope this helps!

      Super question!! Piaffe is the result of working through the training scale to create the highest level of collection! Have a watch of this video to understand how you use the training scale to be able to create the different movements in dressage - czcams.com/video/oDze9c40vOY/video.html

    HI I am restarting my mare and I am struggling with my mare to take on a left lead, how would you approach that situation? What I have been doing is doing a right leaded canter change direction across the diagonal and then when I get to the other side half-halt, break down to a trot or a very slow canter change my weight in my seat bone lift my inside rein and put my outside leg behind and my inside leg on the girth. She will then likely change. How do I get her to take on the correct lead from a walk, or a trot on the straight?

    • @YourRidingSuccess
      @YourRidingSuccess  Před 3 lety +1

      We have passed this one to Alicia!
      Hi There!
      In general, the reason why horses strike off on the wrong lead is that they don't have enough weight on their outside hind leg. (leading leg).
      Take your time. Ensure the walk or the trot in straight and with even weight before you ask. If it is not, or is then begins to get crocked again, ABORT ABORT!! lol and go back to the walk or trot and get that correct first. Doest matter how many times you have to do this.
      Exercises to get her straighter...
      Leg Yeild
      Shoulder in
      Renvers
      Don'd be afraid to use some counter flection, or even renvers (slight) DURING the transition to canter. I know that can sound a little strange... but it will help put weight through the leading leg. Often when they are not straight, the more you flex to the inside, the more unbalanced they become and the more weight is taken off theoutside hind.
      Hope that helps! xx

    While a lot of the new girls videos are good I run into the problem with some of her videos where she repeats the same thing over again but doesn’t fully explain it references another video but it’s nothing linked in the description Or anything. Makes it super frustrating. For example this video she kept referencing walk to canter aids and apply them at the right time but never linked the video that went over it or explained it quickly in the video. I understand things change but I miss the old instructor. I never felt like I was missing info or having to search for other videos with hers.
