Video # 10: This is Vita and her horse PJ performing a dressage test at a show!
Hi Vita!
Your horse has a great natural engine, with his hind legs active much of the time! That's a very good trait! The drawback to this type of horse though, is that they can be tense and rushy, like your horse is in this video. Often their sometimes overactive engine tempts their riders into using too much hand, which bottles up a lot of tension in the horse's body, and makes him come against your hand. To have success with horses that are prone to tension, you need to have a plan of action to encourage relaxation in your training and in your warm up at shows.
