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!

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.
butfl 24 Nov 2009 Shane is expert in patience, maturity and kind discipline of the horse. His calm strength builds respect as he sets very clear boundaries. What a great model Shane is for all riders. Great job, very inspirational.
Cluny 21 Nov 2009 What a lovely balanced rider Shane is. Fascinating to hear him talk through what he is doing and why he is doing it and to see his methods working! I wonder if he has tried cranio sacral therapy on his horse to help with the stiff jaw?
Carmel4ie 20 Nov 2009 Super video and great tips for dealing with difficult horses!
