About this video

This 8 year old stallion has been with Shane less than a year. Shane says he is very difficult in the mouth and rides like a 6 year old. Nonetheless, he is talented and aimed at Grand Prix soon. Starting with poles, then a grid and moving to a course, Shane provides a fascinating insight into how to manage such an opinionated horse. The main problem is he locks his jaw and runs to the fence. Shane offers ideas to improve rideability with this common problem, including exercises and how to influence with his position. Without a gadget in sight, Shane finishes by working on related distances which highlight the problem and also show the improvement!

LB's Stables 25 Jun 2011 I have an exact issue with one of my stallions, thank you.
fonax 5 May 2011 I'm pretty sure this is Camblin, who is Irish bred and jumped on the Irish Nations Cup team with Shane only last weekend (May 2011)?
kevin...y 4 Jul 2010 Excellent work shane, Lots of good tips to try with my horses. Keep up the excellent work.
Ems147 29 Nov 2009 What a fabulous video, fascinating to watch but the thing that I can't shake is how physically fit Shane is, whilst cantering, jumping, between fences etc. he keeps up the commentary without losing his breath even slightly.
