THM asked Hubertus Schmidt: Can you tell you are working in the correct way, if the horse is always ready to take the rein and stretch and go long?
“That is one way to check that you are on the right way – in the high collection you must be able to stretch them so they follow the bit and they are not stuck up there. In every situation you must be able to stretch them – even a piaffe or a pirouette, even then, I must be able to do it. Okay if I do it for a longer period of time, they will lose the self carriage and come more on the front legs, but I must be able to do it because 90% of the horses are too short in the high collection, they are not really using the back, they come up and short by themselves, and the rider can’t make them longer or deeper.”

Everyone likes to talk about the harm caused when a horse is ridden behind the vertical... but have you ever wondered why?

One (of the many) problems with a BTV position is that encourages incorrect flexion in the neck. In a healthy horse, the head will flex up and down at the first cervical vertebrae. This bone is known as the atlas or C1.

In an effort to avoid excessive pressure caused by a harsh bit, rider or gadgets (especially draw reins) many horses will begin flexing at the 3rd vertebrae (C3). "Broken at the 3rd" creates incorrect movement throughout the body and will quickly lead to pain and damage. Once a horse begins moving in this manner, it is extremely hard for them to unlearn and they may continue this harmful posture even when at or above the vertical.

Allison has worked with Volker Brommann for the past 14 years and also works with several riders from the Spanish riding school of Vienna.
Legendario dos Diamantes is the highest scoring Lusitano breeding stallion in the United States. Legendario dos Diamantes was the Lusitano Champion at Dressage at Devon 2023 and resides at Ellerslie Stables in Rhinebeck, NY. He has been in training with Allison since 2019. Legendario dos Diamantes is one of three Lusitano stallions currently at stud with Lyric Dressage. Allison remarks, “As an approved stallion he has many offspring resembling his beauty, athleticism, and trainability. Legendario exhibits incredible temperament, willingness, boldness, and true partnership for his rider.” He is schooling all of the FEI movements and will make his FEI debut this fall.
