About this video

Grand Prix dressage rider Suzie works with Sally in Part 2, on improving the sitting trot. Using analogies such as "imagine there's a hook on the front of your collar bone lifting you forwards and up" and " let your legs hang as dead-weights," Suzie changes Sally's posture and ensures her hips are moving left to right instead of the more conventional forwards and back. Suzie explains how every part of the riders' body is specific to a part of the horse, so if the horse is blocked the rider must unblock something in themselves. It's all about "not getting in the way of your horse." The difference in Jeremy's movement by the end is incredible!

LucyL 9 Apr 2012 I really enjoyed watching these videos! Suzie is so very easy to understand!
Fiona Price 4 Jun 2011 More coming in September Maggie! Also, Suz has just started a blog on Horse Hero and her biography is now on the site too. Enjoy!
maggiehm 4 Jun 2011 Wonderful! Agreed..I do wish that we HAD been able to see Susie demonstrate the movements herself a little more on camera... but of course it was still great to watch Sally & Jeremy. As an older 'creaky' rider, I am going to watch this and try to incorporate 1 at a time!! What a lovely boy! Please, Horse Hero - MORE from Susie teaching many others, as a she has a knack for explaining I haven't seen in a LONG time- Pure gold!!!
devond 22 May 2011 Super video, love the way Suzie teaches!
susie 19 May 2011 It was so much fun to work with such a talented team! I am also often frustrated with instruction that is fluffy and lacking control. Soft visualizations are great to initially feel a sensation, yet riders need tools that can be turned off and on on demand. I will try to stand closer to the camera next time. My learning curve! It was so much fun to be filmed by horsehero!!!
