Ride your horse towards the hand and ensure he wants to accept it happily

Over the years, I’ve trained many horses and riders to the highest level with an honest and logical training method, based on classical principles.

I’ve translated my experience to an approachable method.

99% of all riders make the following mistake

A lot of riders getting stuck in their training.

And that’s such a shame because it’s not necessary.

What’s important, is to have a good system of riding with proven principles.

That you understand what the process of training looks like and what steps to take.

So whenever you get off track, you recognize it and know how to get back on the right path.

What I’ve learned thus far, 99% of all technical riding problems arise from one mistake: not having the Three Basic Principles in place.

 

Without the right foundation, you'll get the following problems

– You have an unstable connection
– Your horse is very heavy in your hand
– Your horse hollows his back
– Your horse comes against your hand
– Your horse isn’t forward enough
– Your horse responds slowly to your aids
– Your horse moves on the forehand
– Your horse is tense and stiff
– You have to drive constantly to avoid a lack of impulsion
– Your horse is stronger on one rein
– Your horse comes behind the vertical
– Your horse falls flat when you ask for a difficult exercise
 
Perhaps you’re telling yourself this is normal behavior for your horse. You can’t handle the situation on your own or that you’re not competent enough to do so. Or maybe you’re just stuck and can’t figure it out.

But did you know that every rider can collect a horse while keeping a soft and steady connection?

Do you want the following?

But without:

If so, these 3 courses will help you achieve this:

Complete step-by-step plan for a true collection with a soft and solid connection so that you and your horse have more fun riding.

Your horse doesn't want to feel tense and stiff

Imagine feeling tense and stiff all the time. You’d want to change that, right?

Well, it’s the same for your horse. If you have a horse that easily comes against your hand, gets tight in his back or gets crooked, he won’t feel comfortable. He doesn’t enjoy feeling that way en he would rather feel relaxed and loose. 

Because no horse wants to feel stiff.

 

But he doesn't know there's another way

Even though a horse’s natural balance is more on the forehand, this can become exaggerated when more weight is placed toward the front of the horse.

An unbalanced horse is so heavy on the forehand that moving forward is blocked by stiffness

So it’s our job to move more weight to the hind legs and balance our horses better. 

''My message is that every horse can be soft and loose (in a collected balance). It just takes the right training.''

– Rien van der Schaft

You don't need an expensive horse to get looseness and expressive movement

In my online training program I guide you step by step to establish a stable and soft connection.

Then we start influencing your horse’s front – hind balance. In other words, making sure the hindquarters start carrying more weight and getting the weight off the front legs.

I will explain exactly which exercises you can use for this and how you can combine them in the online program.

With this way of training, you can see the first improvements in just one week!

First we are going to help you to improve the left-right balance (‘straightness’) of the horse, with the consequence that the horse gets equal in the hand. This means that the horse is also more willing to accept the softer rein. This is very important, because when your horse distributes his weight over his four legs, the risk of getting injuries will be lower.

Step #04 How to ride with a Contact Rein

First we are going to help you to improve the left-right balance (‘straightness’) of the horse, with the consequence that the horse gets equal in the hand. This means that the horse is also more willing to accept the softer rein. This is very important, because when your horse distributes his weight over his four legs, the risk of getting injuries will be lower.

Step #05 How to get a Circle of Energyt Rein

Step #07 Exercises in Walk

In this part, ‘First Movements for Collection’, we continue with influencing the front – hind balance of your horse. In other words, making sure the hindquarters start carrying more weight and getting the weight off the front legs. We give you exercises to help your horse towards the optimal balance and let you focus on influencing balance rather than influencing the posture.

Step #08 Lateral Movements

There are several exercises that you can use to improve the balance of your horse. Rien explains which exercises these are and when to use them. As a result, the haunches will get a carrying function instead of pushing. It’s very important that you get a good idea of which aids you need to give for which exercise, so we give you a system of aids.

Step #09 Transitions (within the gait)

Then Rien will tell you everything you need to know about tranisitions and changes of speed. You can adjust the transitions to the level of the horse that you’re riding. It’s important that you ride them in the correct manner, because if you don’t… the exercise has no purpose and won’t benefit your horse. In other words, you have to do it right for a positive influence on the balance of your horse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you'll find the most frequent questions and answers. Do you have another question? Let us know in the chat below!

We’ve got riders and horses of all levels.

However, to get the most out of this training, it will be useful if you have experience with the basic principles. As the fundamentals are crucial if you aim to increase your horse’s level in the correct way.

Big chance it does. Rien’s method respects the way in which horses learn and it’s developed in a way that your horse’s body will become stronger over time. He has been training horses for over 45 years and he’s never encountered a horse on which his method didn’t work.

However, not all horses have the same level of talent, so sometimes it can take longer for one horse than for the other to improve his level. But Rien says that every horse can give you a good feeling and it doesn’t matter how much talent he has.

Rather, the training method will not suit every rider. If you especially want to ride your horse low, deep and round or with a draw rein and you are looking for a ‘quick trick’ to solve a problem, then this online training and training method is not for you.
