Transitions are EVERYTHING in Dressage Training. If you are not sure what to work on during your ride, work on transitions. Seamless, harmonious, transitions with uphill balance and an engaged win end are the goal!
How do you teach your horse walk canter?
To teach the walk-canter transition, start with some trot-walk-trot transitions in quick succession. Then go walk-just a few trot steps- canter. Gradually just do less and less trot steps until you can go directly from walk to canter.
How much warm up do you do first before you start doing the transitions? Or do you start right away? How much do you do of a certain transition? Do you mix them up?
It depends a lot on the horse and the situation. Usually I start my ride with some trot-canter-trot transitions in both directions. If it is a lazy horse, then I will do the transitions a bit sharper and closer together. If it is a hot horse, I will make sure to keep the relaxation between the transitions. After the warm-up, if the horse knows collection, I will start working on the collecting transitions such as the canter-walk-canter transitions.
Do you give half halts before every change of gaits, and corners? Are you also giving them constantly during riding?
Yes! Half-halts are basically a “gathering up of energy” so that you can do something with the horse’s energy. In a half halt, the rider momentarily uses the seat, leg and rein to gather the energy in the horse so that they can then do something with the energy. The amount of each, seat, leg and rein, depends on the horse. Some horses need more leg in the half-halts and require more energizing half halts!
What is your inside leg doing during a transition?
Your inside leg is directing the horse's inside hind leg to stay stepping forward and through during a transition. I like to ride a little shoulder-fore during the transition to help the horse really engage and step through from behind during the transition.
Amelia - At 69 1/2 years old, you have awakened my desire to ride again! If only I could have received this level of instruction back in the day. There are so many aspects to your explanation of managing transitions that I can relate to in other areas of my life. This is a big reason why dressage still resonates with me. Thank you for your skillful enrichment!
❤️
Good points! So many amateur riders go round and round and round and wonder why things are not improving. These transitions are also good for old horses, gives them strength and suppleness. The yielding of the hind leg under is crucial!
Yes!!!
The Hierarchy of Transitions slide is absolutely wonderful. It gives me basics to work on for every ride and as get to the trot-halt-trot, reinback-trot, my horse is in my hands and ready to work on other things. You must invest hours in the preparations of these lessons. Thank you so much!!
You are welcome! Glad to hear it’s helpful!!

This is perhaps one of your most helpful videos thanks to those very informative slides. Thank you very much! Are the slides available for download?
Awesome! Thanks Amelia! I worked on transitions this morning with my guy - got a few extra tips through the video to help next time. You are so great at explaining everything and I love how technical you get. I have to sign up for your emails and join you on some Zoom calls from Canada ☺️
That was great as well hepful.
Tks alot for these excelent videos!!
Shared with my students. So much easier to think about how you plan to ride your transitions before you get in the saddle.
Thanks for sharing!! Glad to hear this is helpful to you AND your students!!
Great video with very helpful information!!! You should do a video on meet and greet with all your horses :)
Great idea!!
I don't think I've ever worked on how to make my horse round in the canter, so that must lead to trouble with downward transition from canter to trot. REALLY love this lecture and will continue studying it.
Rode this morning. My horse was running through my hands. What did I do walk/trot transitions and he suppled right up and I was able to get to work Great video. Thank you for your time!!
Yay! Glad this was helpful!
Really nice video and explanations! Thank you Amelia!
Oooo, things to work on. Thank you.
Well presented.
Excellent! These organized tips are really helpful! Thanks!
Great !!
Very helpful, just what we were needing. Thank you so much for your efforts!!!
Great video!
Great video, thank you! Power point was super helpful
Yay! Glad it helped!!
Omg... love this!
How do you help a horse that gets worried and anxious in the halt? My horse chews on the bit obsessively and gets stressed when we halt. I try to just sit neutral in the saddle and just keep the contact, but I don't know if it helps 🤔
I'm subscribed and yet this video is dated May 06 - but didn't show up in my feed until May 14. Could have used this last Tuesday, man the boy was a mongrel in transitions that day. :| PS: As you quoted German sources, one day you should do a whole video on the topic of "Impulsion is an unfortunate mistranslation of Schwung, which leads to all sorts of confusion". :-D
Yes! Good idea!
@@AmeliaNewcombDressage Fantastic! I can help with the translation (bilingual and learned to ride in Germany) ;)
Is there a specific way to search on Patreon for the "live" lecture that you mentioned [at about the 20-21 minute mark in this video] ? I would like to watch that live lecture. Thanks !!!💐
The first photo is more correct than the second.
Can you give me the link for donation for these amazing videos? What is the website please.
There is a link to Patreon in the description box, below the video

Another great Video Amelia ! I always look forward to seeing my emails pop up with a new video
Glad you like them!
Hi, could you do a video about the walk. The horse I ride overtracks beautifully when being led, but when ridden he tenses up, jogs, and is very unhappy, also evades contact by chewing and head tossing. Tack has been checked and fits, but he is the nervous type so reacts to all my mistakes. How can I help him relax? He is lovely in trot and canter.
Great idea!
I hope this helps
Thank you so much to your videos of the dressage
