In Reply to: Andalusian Colt and Learning Dressage....need HELP!! posted by mouse on August 21, 2002 at 09:56:20:
Welcome to our forum! You've come to the right place!! Most horses know the instinctive movements of dressage, as youve seen with your baby out in the field, however they have to be trained by us to do them on command. I wouldnt even consider starting him on a longeline until he's 2, because that particular breed matures fairly slowly, and you dont want to stress him. The basics for all horses are the same, so when you back him at 3, you want to just focus on "forward, straight, and calm." A good video to start with is "choosing your dressage horse" narrated by hilda gurney. The "training of the young horse" video series by Reiner Klimke are also very very good resources, but kind of expensive at $50 each. (i believe you get a discount if you buy the whole set, but its not much of one)
And, of course, we're always here on the forums for you to ask questions of!
Hope that helps a bit!
