Secrets of a Top Professional
Here's How to Improve your Stops,
Lead Changes, Circles and Head-Position with One Simple Training
Technique!
True collection
is oftentimes a misunderstood concept. Yet, its application is
essential for top performance, especially for the stop and lead
changes. And it's really not that difficult to achieve, once you
understand it.
Unfortunately however, most people think if the horse merely flexes at
the poll, he is collected. They are mistaken, and as a result end up
with a horse that performs way below it's potential.
Many
horses are capable of doing way more
that what their riders realize!
True collection allows you to position the horse's body to perform
beautiful stops with very little effort. True collection is what keeps
your horse using his hindquarters no matter what maneuver you perform or
what gait you're in.
So, what is "true" collection?
True collection is
a way of riding your horse that teaches him to round his back, lower his
croup and travel with his hocks farther under his body. When done
correctly, collection also teaches a horse to
flex at the poll,
relax his lower jaw and become
soft, supple and light.
Here
are just a few of the benefits of
getting your horse collected:
 |
Your
horse's stops will be deeper and and at the same time his mouth will
feel softer. His neck and shoulders will also be more relaxed.
|
 |
Flying lead changes will be more controlled and precise with far
fewer missed hind leads.
|
 |
Spins
and turn-a-rounds will be more free and smoother too. Usually, a
well collected horse will have a better (more level) top-line when
spinning.
|
 |
Your horse will lope smoother and
more balanced because he'll be striding with his hind legs farther
under his body. His lope will be more controlled.
|
 |
Better head-position while performing any maneuver.

Once you ride a horse that is truly collected, you will wonder how your
training program ever got along without it. This video goes into great
detail explaining what true collection really is and how to teach it
to your horse.
You will learn how to teach your horse to round his back, engage his
hocks and flex at the poll. And most importantly, do it in balance
with
a finger-tip light mouth.
