Den gymnastiske progression i dressur bør føre fra 'forlænget' trav til arbejdstrav, derefter til skoletrav, til piaffe og til sidst til trav øgningen. 👌

Unge heste bør kun præsenteres i 'forlænget' trav med fremad, strakt hals og med rytteren i letridning.

Udføres træningen på denne måde, vil rytterne forpligte til at arbejde på at strække halsen i stedet for at bruge tricks, og til at respektere hestens ryg i stedet for at knuse den, mens de holder hovedet inde - med undskyldningen om at have korrekt dressursæde.

På denne måde vil vi give en chance til heste, der er mindre talentfulde, men som er blevet trænet korrekt, og vi vil undgå at kompromittere de bedstes fremtid. 🌟

Take a look at what scientists have recently learned about pain management in horses: https://thehorse.com/1133125/equine-pain-management-what-the-latest-studies-tell-us/

We must forever remain mindful that the horse has been selectively bred to be extraordinarily tolerant.

In many ways the horse is its own worst enemy in terms of welfare.

As a trainer also of Asian elephants, which as a species has not been selectively bred for any traits, I find the tolerance of horses quite spectacular.

In South and Southeast Asia, elephants are used to track down poachers, a task that has not yet been superseded.

However, I also noticed that elephants have a much ‘shorter fuse’ than horses and are intolerant of inescapable pain.

In such cases when elephants are subject to similar pain and stress as horses frequently endure, the consequences for the humans concerned are not uncommonly fatal.

We can’t ask horses how they feel but what we can do is recognise that there are some very important elements of a horse’s life that matter to the horse.

In a future world, it is extremely important for the sustainability of horse sports to think about the horse’s welfare and to move away from an anthropocentric view to a horse-centred view: welfare from the horse’s own perspective.

Plus original comments 😊🍎🎄

The High Peak let the train take the strain of a visit to the Meynell - now Meynell & South Staffordshire Club in 1928.
