Advanced Gymnastic Training of the Horse - Part One

Once again, EquestrianCoach is proud to present Bertalan de Nemethy’s classical principles of teaching and training. Bert was a pioneer in the use of gymnastic exercises and believed them to be an essential tool in the sophisticated training of jumpers. The trainer, of course, must rely on common sense and observation when using gymnastics, with careful consideration paid to the horse’s training level and disposition. The incorporation of gymnastics into a horse’s training program will enhance elasticity, agility, strength and coordination. In this first installment of his gymnastic topics, a trotting approach through cavallettis regulates the horse’s speed while the adjustability of the horse’s stride is the focus. 

Running Time: 16 minutes and 51 seconds
