William Faerber demonstrates the technique of stretching the horse forward while developing the piaffe.
Melissa Smith says: Thanks Will! This is extremely helpful to watch. Do you practice piaffe on both sides?
Join me as I post weekly blogs covering many topics relating to Classical Foundation Training. I have intentionally left out the word "dressage" because many people have a negative association with the prevalent "crank and spank" approach or that it is a sport for only those who are afraid to jump.
Dressage as it is meant to be is an understanding of how to best optimize a horse's movement and ability to carry a rider, surely a benefit for any horse, any discipline. It is also important in maintaining your horse's safety, soundness and sanity.
