Old Mercurio Video: • How to Develop Cadence...
Do you love my content? I’d love if you left me a review on google! g.page/r/CYIGmCINXFOQEAo/review
As spooky season approaches we thought we’d delve into the world of the truly monstrous for this week’s archive video. What could be monstrous about horses you ask? Well when it comes to our dressage horses, the monster in question is the Monster Trot, and this is a monster we idolise, not demonise!
People looking for a good dressage prospect will always tell you, “look for a good canter and walk, because you can always make a trot”. And thought it sounds crazy, it’s true. Developing the trot from a flat shuffle to a big expressive swing is one of the true magical transformations of dressage, but as with everything in dressage, it takes time, consistency and hard work.
In this week’s video I’m taking you through my work with two PRE horses who are currently developing the trot. It can be a bit of a challenge to get the PREs to learn the elevated work, but these guys are doing a great job!
The first horse is Mercurio, who is 9 at the time of the video who has a talent for the piaffe, I use this to help get his hind end underneath him and then work on getting more of the cadence.
The second horse is only 7 and much further behind but will end up being able to trot like Mercurio!
It’s great to watch the level they’re both at and remind ourselves that great trots are made, not born!
Have a look at the video and see how I ride both horses so differently and the things I do to bring them both along the path to eventually having the true monster trot!
Thanks for watching!

Beautiful! The difference in the bay horse from the time you started your ride just to when you finished was amazing!
Yes!! It’s amazing!!
These are literally the best teaching videos thank you
So great and HELPFUL to see you working a green horse! I find this a better learning tool for me .
LOVE your videos Amelia. In your latest email list message, you suggested watching videos of the riders with positions you admire and I came straight HERE to watch more of your videos. I love watching you ride.
Oh thank you for adding another for improving the trot. I begged:-) for more when you posted the previous teaching using your gray PRE. I feel like I'm impatient baby bird in it's nest saying more more more.
I've been on a two yr journey with this on my horse. We got stuck a bit, but I'm learning it is my seat not being free enough(injuries). As I'm listening up he is as well. Thank you Amelia
Thank you so much. This is the first explanation that I have seen on how to improve the horse's trot. It helps me understand how all the various exercises (leg yield, shoulder in, travers) fit together to help solve the puzzle.
Yay!! Glad to hear this!
thank so much! I ride western and my horses trot isnt this steady, but I still find this really helpful
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
I really find this video very helpful plus ur comments on why he will fuss with his head , as my horse does too, and I didn't know why, plus your emphasizing the stretch breaks confirms why my horse is always pulling down after doing more collected work, so I understand better how important that is. I'm still first level riding , just trying to get back to where I was at first level before all my surgeries. Thank u so much for explaining ur training methods. I never knew how complicated it is.
Thank you so much for showing this having same trouble getting a stronger trot with my Pre/ Lusitano.
Just seeing the same things and knowing they are part of the process is fabulous. I also was not sitting often as he would get choppy and fall behind in the contact.
Your videos are so helpful, thank you so much. I hope I'm interpreting it correctly. Lots of leg yields, shoulder in and short bursts of asking for bigger trot but keeping cadence and spring, so half halts before changes, then back to the trot horse is comfortable with.
Yes! You got it!
Love your videos Amelia! Have you done any videos yet on how to teach a young horse the proper trot and canter lengthenings such as you would see in the first level tests? Particularly how you would ride each with seat and aids? Thanks for doing these they’re so helpful!
This was so incredibly helpful Amelia! I have a haflinger and we have been struggling developing our trot, but after looking back at videos from our past few months our trot is really getting there! I’ve just moved states so I’m in between trainers, but your videos have really been helping us so much!
Good!! It takes time to develop the trot but it is possible!
Very good video thank you. I would love to see more videos of you training younger horses. I find all your videos very helpful.
Wow this is so encouraging! Thank you so much!! Love these PRE horses! I have Arabians and love them.
I have an arab and just love them as well!!!
It is encouraging! I know exactly what you mean! @Amelia Newcomb makes those LOFTY goals seem so much more accessible to all of us! No matter the level of riding...right?? Its also ALWAYS SO wonderful and inspirational to see what a rider can achieve when partnering with a horse PROPERLY! Interacting with a horse with love, respect and seeing the horse as a trusted partner with whom, before you embark on training, you gain their respect as an equal partner! I love it!
Arabians are amazing! You have heard the saying, "Jack of all trades, but master of none."??? The Arabian horse truly blows that outta the water! They ARE capable of being The Master of ALL! SO capable! And their conformation TRULY tells you ALL that they are capable of! A horses conformation NEVER LIES!!
Thank you so much for all your content. I discovered your channel looking for inspiring first level rides. I would love to see how you achieve this goal for a horse that does not know half steps yet. Thank you again, your channel is part of my morning wake up and coffee every day. Appreciate all your effort to produce these great videos!
I love your videos! I always learn so much! Thank you for taking the time to make them!
Wow super video so interesting to see the progression. Thank you!
I really like this horse. Thanks Amelia! ❤️🇨🇦
It IS magical and elusive! It depends on the horse as well tho. Some horses will be better at it than others.
Learning so much from your videos!
Great video. Much appreciated and very helpful. Thank you.🇿🇦
Great video and really well explained! Always enjoy your videos. ❤️
Glad you like them!
Thank you this helped me so much ❤️
Love your teaching thank you
Thank you...u r the best for me
I love your Video's, some of the best! Can you please be do a video on the half steps or post s link if you already have?
And maintaining straightness in the leg yield.
Another request, how to re-mouth a hard mouthed horse.
Love the video...very educational👍🏼 Both horses are awesome and super beautiful😍 Is Mercurio a 'Bohorquez' because his branding seems to look like that😊
Honestly I don’t know. He is imported from Spain.
Lilly you are right, Mercurio is a ‘Bohorquez’ ! 😊
Hope you all enjoy this "real training" video on how to develop the trot 🐎🐎🐎. Developing lift and cadence in the trot is one of the most fun and most difficult things to train in dressage!! Also be sure you are on my e-mail list!!!

I love your channel and your content! If you’re able to, try and look directly at the camera lens, rather than the viewfinder. Some people find it distracting, it’s like you are not making iContact with your audience. Just one little thing that could improve your already great content/information!💜🙏🏼
My goal is to get to Grand Prix in dressage
I'm just a little confused about what cadence is, if you could please explain that.
Can i ask - how much schooling per week per horse do you do?? Also do your horses hack as well? Xx
I do 5 days a week
If they can't piaffe yet isn't it okay to back up and go to get them under themselves?
What are the aids for the half steps?
Lots of half halts, and I slide both my legs slightly back to help keep the activity of the hind legs.
What's a PRE?
Pure spanish breed (pura raza espanhola)
Silly question, I don’t see you pushing your heels down :)) this is what I hear the most ... “heels down”
It would be nice to see them being trained without a pain bit. We now know this is very possible to do and have witnessed it many times. You can have a horse do all of this without causing pain and foaming in the mouth. Lets all move to a higher level of consciousness with our beloved animal friends.
Horses are top ! Rider no seat, too much hands and work more than the horse. All the faults from "modern dressage". Its a pity
Can you provide alternate examples?
@@gottasay4766 Thank you for the question. Strong advise: study "Tug of war: classical versus "modern" dressage". Dr. Gerd Heuschmann. J.A.Allen, London
You forget to take into account what a nice person Amelia is and how usefull her explainations are. All for free. I suggest if you don't like her way of riding that you don't watch. She obviously loves her horses and is very kind to them 😊👍
Thank you ❤️🐎
MUSETTE JEAN PAUL Gerd got on my four year old gelding at a clinic a few years ago. He was tired at the end of the day and was downright abusive to my eager, good natured young horse. I regret that I did not stop it before he backed my horse half the length of the long side, causing him to rip out a huge hunk of his tail. The audience was horrified. Someone shouted to him that the horse was only four years old and I had to ask him to get off. He had been someone I looked up to. Then, I saw an angry man with a huge ego abusing a young horse because he was tired at the end of the day. He a actually came up to me later and said, “I’m sorry that happened to your horse.” As if he had not been the one who did it. It remains one of the worst experiences I’ve had in this sport. Things are not always as they seem- know that if you promote him, you are promoting someone who does not walk his talk. Thank you Amelia for your authenticity and the work you do to educate riders!
