About this video

Maria Eilberg has been riding Woodlander Rockstar for 3 years. Having won the Medium title at the 2009 National Champs', Rocco, who is now 8, is aiming at Prix St Georges in the coming year. Trainer and father Ferdi works with Maria on getting the balance right between power and engagement in the maturing stallion. Ferdi also explains how a stallion's crest affects the position of the poll. Maria works on straightness in the single canter changes. Ferdi puts emphasis on the need not to over-prepare, but prepare with the right things! He says, "when a horse is in correct balance, it's easy for him to offer the right response". (Feb 10)

Giovanni 24 Mar 2010 Wow he has really improved since the last video. Fab!!
hhhorse 23 Mar 2010 Joy! Inspirational! Thank you!
The White Horse 23 Mar 2010 Thank God for some common sense re "the poll being the highest point" (or not, as was Ferdi's point!). Thankyou! Also a fantastic insight into dealing with everyday problems that even the most elite riders and horses have, but that mere amateurs can apply to their own training. Another great and informative video Horsehero. Good luck to Maria and beautiful Rockstar for their future together.
cariad 23 Mar 2010 A very handsome stallion and a real priviledge to share in their training session
christina 23 Mar 2010 Really interesting to see how his way of going has changed from the earlier videos.
