I feel if we did this, the need for gadgets will lessen along with a better understanding at the stage our horses should be at and are capable of
.
I am very careful when schooling, always take it too slow but I'm not doing any harm in doing so, meaning I can put my mind at ease with the wellbeing of the horse.
When purchasing my horse, she had raced, had time off and started reschooling two years later. I spent time working on her rhythm, balance and forwardness combined with road work to strengthen her skeletal system... But by spending so much hard work on the foundation, I then looked for guidance on the next step and had a very good dressage clinic. It is a miracle what you can achieve in 45 minutes!
Sorry if a boring post, but I just want to stress the importance to have someone on the floor, so schooling can be corrected and progressed in the correct stages.
