@@laceybryan9725 your right i went on instagram and looked side by side Im pretty sure there different. I think the only way to know for sure is to ask claire
Omg I love your channel so much. I'm a horse crazy owner. This is so helpful. I love how professional your channel is, the video so clear and easy to hear. ❤️️❤️️
So happy you guys are back! My 10 year old OTTB came to me with a terrible topline and also pretty skinny. With the right food and workouts his topline is 100% better now! I used all of the workouts you guys put in this video, very very awesome video and I have some friends who will love to watch it =D
all the "don't dos" make me laugh haha. Loved this video! Exactly what I am working on with my horse right now and I am excited to try out these suggestions:)
I've been working with my 16 year old Oldenburg for about a year now with similar exersizes! I find the long/low trot to help with him and transitions definitely play a huge role too.
Love this! I'm so happy to hear and see more and more people talking about how important is the topline :) also, could you perhaps do a vid explaining how to get the horse to stretch or go "long and low"? Just how to start and the basics? I'm having troubles with an ottb who has back problems and a better topline would help her lots, but up till now it doesn't seem like she knows how to relax into it (even when lounging without a saddle).
Lily Salyer have you tried making your horse half halt in the trot and canter to slow her down? that usually works for me on horses that constantly speed up :)
Great video!! this will really help with my new thoroughbred! Could you make a video on some ways to prepare you and your horse mentally and physically before entering the dressage and show jumping arena?
yay finally!! I LOVE THIS ONE!! the other ones i wasnt really too interested but in the building and nutrition area is very interesting and helpful! anything to make my horse an amazing athlete to bring him to a high level woyuld be great!
Hi very good video ! I have one question, long & low is quite difficult with me horse a the start of the exercise. He starts doing it only after 1/2 hour training when he's getting tired. The same when longing him, at the trot, head is up and only comes low at the step. Any suggestions to get him long and low while trotting at the start of the exercise ? Thx a lot Philippe
Hi, I really enjoy your videos and found this one particularly helpful. On a slightly different but related topic, have you ever experienced a horse with an uneven pelvis, if so what tips or hints could you give?
Dom and Jimmie- I currently own a 9y/o OTTB Gelding. He is an absolute angel when I'm riding him, but once he's away from his pasturemates while I'm leading him, he won't move. I do so many different exercises that are effective in the moment, and I do them consistently, but my gelding just isn't understanding the idea that when I give a slight tug on the lead rope it means to go forward. While I'm riding, he does great transitions almost every time, but he has terrible upward transitions while being led. Any tips?
Keep a dressage whip with you while leading. When he refuses to move forward, reach back and gently tap/touch his hindquarters with the whip (don't turn around, keep facing forward). You might not need to tap at all. Some horses move forward just having the end of the whip near them. Moving forward should always come from behind, so "pulling" on the lead rope or reins won't help.
Could you do an episode on how to teach your horse to lift his hind legs over fences more and how to teach bascule? I think it'd be very beneficial to a lot of people, including me!
I am new to English riding. I am really trying to increase my knowledge and skill level, but running a non-profit working with horses has kept me from being able to take English riding lessons (which is on my to do list). Can you guys talk about proper cavaletti spacing for exercises?
the tail swoosh in your face jimmy.. ouch.. gotta love horse, Aye ! hahahaha thanks for posting this video, I just brought an ott tb who is trained in eventing and her topline is very poor.
You should check out the Secretariat Center in Kentucky! They rescue ottb's and train them to do new events like eventing, hunters, equitation, western pleasure etc ((:
Hi evention! I am in the process of trying horses. There's one that I found, and I have a gut feeling that I should buy her, but she's not exactly what I was looking for. How do I know when I've found the right horse?
Can you please make a video on how to get a horse long and low? I struggle trying to get my horse to put his head down (he's an Arabian so I guess it's natural) but I know he can do it.
+Kate M have a search for Art2Ride (Will Faerber), they are specialists in long and low work... ;) tons of videos out there. And absolutely fabulous that topline gets its own video here as well! :D It really is the base of everything. A good topline and things get so much easier with the horse. I wish more people would understand this, it would save many frustrations both with riders and horses. Thumbs up for Evention.
so I have a 18 year old mare that I am currently training to jump. she is half quarter horse, a quarter morgan, and a quarter appaloosa. she has appaloosa weird gait, where she picks up her right front leg higher than the others. she does this in the walk, trot, and canter, but she gallops just fine... I was just wondering if anyone has ideas or exercises that I can do with her to smoothen this out? anything will be apreciated! thanks ❤🐴
but their bones need to grow to getter, just like a human baby and their skul is not together...and training a 4 year old...you should start riding at like around 6, you should learn the biomechanica of a horse first, how they are herd animals and not 'stable' animals
Queen Sha by the time the horse is four it should be developed enough to start to work its muscles correctly, if they start young they have less chance of building the incorrect muscles which could cause them back pain and other serious problems down the line :-)
Jess Chapman I agree completely! Wat i meant was, that you should not ride everyday with a young horse, its good for them to start once a week..then build up from there, for balance and muscle gain!, but don't ride a 4 yo 7 days a week!
Really wish these guys would do at least a video saying what they are doing now. Sad they stopped making them.
Yeah I wonder where they went :(
Yeah same...
Likes video* alright time to start watching the video
sofia lebedeva omg and I thought I was the only one 😂
OH MY GOD that's claireventing's new horse!! Owen!!
SenketsuSan OMG it is 😧
Not the same her Owen is a whole lot lighter in color
@@laceybryan9725 your right i went on instagram and looked side by side Im pretty sure there different. I think the only way to know for sure is to ask claire
Lacey Bryan greys get lighter in colour as they get older. My mare looked like this when she was younger, but now she’s completely greyed out :)
Guys please upload more but it was a great video
I know why top line is important……
So that you don't die when bareback ride😏😉😂
I got a five year old a month ago and I hopped on bareback he is fine and no top line. It was horrible
+bgxequestriian he most be fat 😂
Honestly, these two are #goals.
Where did you guys go? 🙏😭
I was wondering the same thing!
Omg I love your channel so much. I'm a horse crazy owner. This is so helpful. I love how professional your channel is, the video so clear and easy to hear. ❤️️❤️️
Glad to have you guys back, thanks for the very informational video!
This was very timely, got an OTTB gelding I just started leasing who needs some serious top line work! Thanks guys!

Very helpful loved this video I was so excited!!!! When I saw this video!!
2:27 Claire eventing has a really similar horse, and his name is Owen too... 🤔
okok i literally just watched one of her videos to see and i swear its the same horse
Love this! I'm so happy to hear and see more and more people talking about how important is the topline :) also, could you perhaps do a vid explaining how to get the horse to stretch or go "long and low"?

Yay I am so happy u r back!!! Love the videos!!
Im definitely trying these excercises with my horse!!
could you make a video about slowing the gaits? I'm struggling with my mare to slow her in the trot and canter. She constantly speeds up.
Lily Salyer have you tried making your horse half halt in the trot and canter to slow her down? that usually works for me on horses that constantly speed up :)
Oh hey lily!
Lily Salyer sometimes what helps is getting them over there back and round before you go and canter so they don't get strong and just pull you along:)
you could try a shut down method where you turn the horse and it usually works with me and a few green horses I ride.
Laina Eliz hey!! lol
Awesome as always! Thanks guys
Great video!! this will really help with my new thoroughbred! Could you make a video on some ways to prepare you and your horse mentally and physically before entering the dressage and show jumping arena?
This video was quite helpful! I think you should do another one that includes more exercises for the entire body! Thanks for this vid though!
Awesome video, very informative!
Love your videos, useful and entertaining :)
yay finally!! I LOVE THIS ONE!! the other ones i wasnt really too interested but in the building and nutrition area is very interesting and helpful! anything to make my horse an amazing athlete to bring him to a high level woyuld be great!

I saw your ad in my tack shop for the clinic! who's teaching it?

Haha I love this channel!!
PLEASE do I video of training a green horse over jumps and keeping them collected before a jump
You mentioned trotting long and low but didn't say exactly what to work on to get that long and low. :) Any info appreciated. Thx.
Do more videos!!
This has come just in time, I got a new horse just 3 weeks ago nearly and he needs muscling up a lot! He's an lanky looking ISH at the minute :)
why stirrups so short..? but anyway, very informative video, loved it. ;)
Yay finally also I'm 9th comment- sorry that's a new record
Yaaaay!
YESSSS
They haven’t mentioned the muscles of the thoracic sling once. Do they know what they are doing.
