A couple of weeks ago one of my clients asked me if I wanted to ride her Lusitanian horse. She has bought the horse a few months ago and had been having trouble handling him. She recently found out that the 12 year old horse had only been castrated a year ago. This means that, in his head, he thinks he is still a stallion. However, I just adore Lusitanian horses so obviously I didn't say on!
What you'll see on this video is not a prepared dressage exercise, it's just me riding this horse for the first time trying to find out how he has been ridden. Even though it has been a long time ago, this horse has learned something at some point and still has a faint memory of it. I enjoyed riding him and I am convinced that with good training, patience and persistence his new owner will find a way to work with him and enjoy a good dressage horse.
