SWF cont Young Horse Work


Sarah was an old pro with the young horses, They really
drew for her confident nature. Ali really seemed to bond
with her so she took it upon herself to work on a few special maneuvers..

  1. Ali has a very special initiation process ... it includes dirt, and all who don't partake, don't "pass".

    Welcome to the "other side", Sarah!

  2. I got the rear buck but no dirt-Is that a 1/2 pass...

  3. I keep getting my dressage movements mixed up... I remember 1/2 pass is the super forward canter sharply sideways while you pray for a flying change before the letter as coach yells "Duck!"

  4. Ahhhh.... "Duck" is different than "dirt". Duck means imminent danger for the onlookers. Dirt means a "hog fuel" dental floss for the rider.

  5. Oh that's right. I think one of the comments was more collection is required to prevent injury to innocent bystanders.

  6. Hmmmm, I think both of you have your movements confused. One correctly performs 1/2 pass by splitting the pass between the equine and the equestrienne: horse passes left, rider passes right, or vice versa.
