TRAINING - Das tumuln on the ground.

Tumuln was a central concept in the earliest works of German dressage written in the sixteenth century. Contrary to certain believes, or was not named after the more tumbling canter, but it means turning around regardless of the gait. In later times, it would be called a demi pirouette or in the words of the Italian masters of the time a ‘volta stretto’.

However, much opposed to the slow and static performance of pirouettes nowadays, the ealiest masters stressed speed. This is most clear in the work of Johan fayser who elaborates on the point of evolving from halbe zeit to Ganse Zeit.

The reasons are rather clear. The tumuln needed to function as a quick turn around or ‘Umkehrn’ which was one of the essential parts of the mounted martial arts of the medieval knight termed Rossfechten.

In this video, I transformed the ‘Buckarroo circle exercise’ by integrating more terre a terre or even corvette type movements in the turnarounds leading to an enhancement of the speed in the tumuln. Although this exercise is not described, it is interesting how combining different traditions of riding using similar principles render interesting results.

Little sidenote for the dressage nerds: notice how I use the voice in a similar way as suggested by cesare fiaschi.

Doing some ‘cow work’ with a green horse. Although Geraldine had done some excellent work on the ground, she has not been riding to much. Hence, I wanted to check what the little girl has to offer. And it was quite a lot. Doing some cow work (albeit with a human), she demonstrated some refinement and lightness. Sure, there is still physical quality to devellop, but it is remarkable how much groundwork can prepare a horse even to a more complex task.

IMPRESSIE - de duarte flow

Een van de flows die we in de verschillende gangen aanleren, is de Duarte flow. Deze is genaamd naar de Portugese koning Duarte die in de vroege vijftiende eeuw een werk over de middeleeuwse rijkunst en zijn toepassingen schreef. In dat werk beschreef hij onder meer de verschillende houwen die je te paard kan uitvoeren war leidde tot deze flow.

IMPRESSION - the duarte flow

One of the flows we perform in all the gairs is the Duarte flow. It is named after the Portuguese King Duarte who wrote a work on the medieval art of riding and its applications in the early fifteenth century. In that work, he described, among other things, the different haws that you can perform on horseback that led to this flow.

ONZE JONGSTE STUDENTE NA
EEN JAAR

Nova Roos, pas acht jaar geworden, traint inmiddels een goed jaartje bij ons en het werd eens tijd om de lessen in een toepassing te brengen. Ze mocht voor het eerst zelfstandig op buitenrit.

En zoals je kan zien, geduldig trainen wordt beloond. Zonder stijgbeugels weet ze met nagenoeg perfecte zit en - misschien belangrijker nog - lichte hand Virtus in galop te voeren.

Nova toont hier waartoe goede horsemanship, op de grond en in het zadel, toewijding en wat geduld kunnen doen: een rijgedrag dat vele paardenliefhebbers vandaag ontbreken. Een rijgedrag waarbij het paard zonder overdadige druk, in alle rust en beheersing in galop openen buitenrit kan worden gevoerd.

Als een achtjarige kan, dan kan iedereen het! Niet ?

OUR YOUNGEST STUDENT AFTER

ONE YEAR

Nova Roos, who has just turned eight, has been training with us for a year now and it was time to bring the lessons into an a real practice. She was allowed to trailride independently for the first time.

And as you can see, patience is rewarded. Without stirrups, she knows how to carry Virtus at a gallop with a near perfect seat and - perhaps more importantly - light hand.

Nova shows here what good horsemanship, on the ground and in the saddle, dedication and some patience can do: a riding skill that many horse enthusiast lack today. A riding in which the horse can run outside without excessive pressure, in peace and cantering in control.

If an eight-year-old can do it, then everyone can do it! No?

IMPRESSIE - de mysterieuze wijze waarop de oude meesters mijn lesmethodes weten te inspireren.

Mij opsluiten een hele dag zag ik niet zitten, dus dan maar mijn lesmethode aanpassen. Gelukkig bood William Cavendish de ideale inspiratie om dit aan te pakken.

IMPRESSION - The mysterious ways the old masters inspire my teaching methods

Locking myself up an entire day is not an option. Hence, adjust to fit the situation. William Cavendish presented me with some inspiration how to handle it.
