My last comment was a reply to waypoint36' comments from 4 days ago, sorry, I just sent it generally. Actually... regarding those comments and cowgirl22hannah's, a droop in the rein might(not always!)mean the horse has been over-bitted and/or rolkurred. A happy horse actively seeks contact with the bit, as it trusts the rider's hands will support a flow of energy and direction. Sometimes the weight of the reins alone suffice for contact, and no more action is required from the rider's hands.

Many years ago one of my riding instructors told me that when you hold the reins, you must hold them as if you are also holding a baby bird in each hand... that is how gently you must treat the horse's mouth.

The mistake that is being talked about happened after the canter half-pass into pirouette. The horse was suppose to begin 1 time tempis (flying change every stride). It is visible in the second and third stride out of the pirouette. I hope that helps. This is a beautiful ride and near perfect performance and demonstrates beautifully the difficulty in perfecting harmony.

Every sport has poorly ridden horses. If we consider only well-ridden dressage horses, there is not pain. There is a comfortable contact, again, like holding hands with someone you love. The reins may be straight, but that does not mean they are tight. And I don't think horses naturally do any sport we ask of them! :-)

cowgirl22hannah

oh. im not one of those oddballs that refuses bits but i can tell, some dressage horses are totally in pain. explain to me why the reins are tight then,without it hurting. maybe there isnt so much pressure but they are definitely tight. Horses do not naturally carry themselves thisway

waypoint36

proper rein pressure has been described as holding hands with a lover - it is neither wimpily uncommitted, nor is it an abusive stranglehold. Many years of training create the self-carriage you see - the rein pressure is not ANYTHING close to what non-dressage riders think it is. You'll see gaping mouths and unhappy horses when poorly ridden with too much contact.
