- Joseph Newcomb talks through a simple thought process on getting your horse round in a simple and correct way! Often when we are stuck with a horse above the bit, it’s easy to resort to pulling backward with that hand that actually perpetuates the problem. The solution is in fact to ride more back to front. Give the reins, add Impulsion and balance the horse into the correct frame instead of pulling. Try these tips on your horses.

Nice to hear a philosophy for roundness that doesn't involve futzing with the reins and all sorts of hand manipulations to get a horse "round".. The key really is the softening, not the taking... I once heard a quote to the effect of "releasing the horse into contact" and I really wish I could remember who it was that said it, but this was an admirable display of the concept..
what a great way to put it! you dont fumble the horse back against your hand but ride them forwards into contact
Yes what a fantastic horse and totally agree with how you are asking for forward and then roundnesses
What a fabulous horse! That tail is something else!
I was thinking the same thing about the tail. I was wondering is it real!?
Really willing and balanced young horse. Beautiful🤩
Thank you so much!
Thank you
You always break everything down the best. I also have a 3 year old so this helps tremendously. Thank you!
Super nice young horse! Forward and balanced! Thanks for the lesson on roundness!!❤
Just love these videos. 🇬🇧
Really useful (which is rare, on this subject), really relevant. I love you attitude to the animal and the sport - tender and intelligent. Thank you, carry on the good works! (And yes, it is transferrable to my sweet mare.)
Very helpful and love his tail.
great video !!!
Beautiful young horse. I MUST ask, how do you get that gorgeous tail?
hi from australia this is great
Beautiful horse
You built some kind of fence at the long side. That's very nice. Good for concentration. Nice horse. 🙏🦄
Perfect explanation!! Thank you! Why do not you ride sitting trot?
I don’t usually sit the trot until 5 or 6. Better for their supple backs.
Thank you 👍
You are welcome
Hi and blessings Joseph!! Thank you so much for this!! So I am just starting my young horse as well and l see right before the canter transition you get him bigger forward and then you sit twice to change diagonal( and this seems then to put the horse in the proper canter position) and then are you cueing with insid and outside leg? I am looking forward to your feedback ..on fully breaking it down for me....l am so thankful to try this... Sonja
Continued..and are you half halting on the outside rein as you cue with your inside leg? Again Thank you sooooooo much!! Sonja
Yes. Diagonal aids helpful so you don’t block the energy.
But Amelia says steady outside rein and squeeze release with inside. So which is correct?
Beautiful horse ❤ Question for you. My horse has been back into work since May (after 4-5months off). Building back from 5min walk all the way to now regular work. Obviously after months being off he had lost all his muscle condition etc. So now that he has built most of it back I'm asking for forward, self-carriage, rounding topline back to front. My issue is when he's finally forward he tends to lean forward too. Won't naturally lift the front end 😢 (easier for him I guess). And then if I try to lift him up with my hands a little (no pressure just raising momentarily) his head gets behind the vertical 🤯 Suggestions? My coach can't come for another month +
Can you explain what you do with your rein aids while you give the leg aids ?
Amelia says steady outside rein and squeeze release with inside rein. So which way is correct?
When you release, is it giving away the contact?
It does but it doesn’t last long and the horse is rewarded.
What do i have to do when my Horse takes his head up when the speed increases instead of down?
Wow 3
„it takes two to pull“ couldnt have said it better!! if your hands have enough give, the horse shouldnt be able to lean against you hard
Whenever the nose is behind the vertical it's wrong and damaging. Always. I love and appreciate your work. It's important to not teach mistakes. And no, it's not because it's a young horse or lack of power. Wish you all all the best 🌹
