About this video

Continuing from the video on self carriage, Hannah starts by playing with Torri's trot, moving him forwards and backwards as well as sideways whilst maintaining a regular rhythm. She then moves into canter to progress Torri's training on flying changes which she describes as a 'work in progress'. Torri is very bright and anticipates, so Hannah explains she has to lull him into a state of relaxation before asking. By varying the pace and using counter canter, Hannah performs a lovely change on the right rein, but warns that as Torri's left side is stiffer, the move is more 'flying than change'. She prepares carefully to manage the explosion!

LADISLAO 7 Oct 2010 You are just incredible, I am writting from Spain , I am a Fan of this horses the PRE ( Pura Raza EspaƱol) and this horses are getting better and better, just fantastic what FUEGO XII has done in Kentuky , you should come to Seville ( SPAIN) in November ( 23 to 28 ) , the SICAB starts , this is the most important PRE trade show , you would like it.
JanG 29 Mar 2010 Thank you for that Hannah, I am having a similar problem with my young horse on the left rein, he is changing in front and then bolting around the school. He seemed to be getting so stressed out that we have decided to leave changes alone for the time being and just concentrate on his canter.
peaches 23 Mar 2010 Stunning!! I could watch this combination all day. He is so lucky to be piloted by Hannah, long may this combination be together. I too have a Spanish horse, and he is doing exactly the same in his changes to the left..it's definitely work in progress with my chap. Thank you for allowing us to follow Tori's progress. Spanish horses often have a poor reputation in the UK, people say they can't extend! Well I hope that Tori changes people's opinion of Spanish horses, as they are such super horses with incredible temperaments.
Mandeigh 17 Mar 2010 What a good idea Fiona! I've started up a thread in the dressage section if anyone fancies coming in on the subject...look forward to hearing your views!
Fiona Price 17 Mar 2010 Mandeigh and Dressage in Spain, this is an interesting conversation but probably better discussed as a forum thread and will attract others to participate. Would one of you like to do this?
