"Good dressage is not complicated, but finding your way is not easy"
Det är svårt att förklara en känsla, ridning är mycket känsla, även om det är massa teknik också. Vad jag menar med känsla är när man är ett med hästen. Man är mentalt och fysiskt avslappnad så man faktiskt kan komunicera med hästen. Du kan inte hitta känslan och få en harmoni i din ridning om du är spänd och inte andas korrekt. Om inte du är avslappnad och i nuet, hur ska hästen kunna eller vilja vara med dig? Titta på hur hästar komunicerar med varandra ibalnd bara är dom, komunikation som inte syns för oss men finns mellan dom. Ridning för mig handlar om ett samspel mellan häst och ryttare, där språket mellan dom knappt syns i form av hjäper, men det syns i form av utförandet, ibland behöver man inte ens kunna se vad som händer, ibland kan det vara så små hjälper mellan häst och ryttare att det bara är dom som känner det! Det är ridning för mig och det är något helt fantastiskt! Jag tänker något, hästen utför det jag vill i perfekt harmoni. Då är det kul att rida och jag skulle vilja att alla kunde förstå vad jag menar! Lyssna på hästen och slappna av och du kommer märka vad mycket du kan få ut av din häst!
Avslutar med att citera min tränare Craig!
"Dressage is the application and joining of human feeling, form and intelligence with that of the horse. Training the mind is the first point for it is by intelligence that the form of the horse and human are brought into alignment.
When such an alignment prevails, certain feelings arise. Once the feeling is captured, the mind must abide in calm. The collective body of the horse/rider ensemble resides in the feeling of harmony which produces mutual joy and what is called control.
Correct control always arises from a state of calm and harmony. Aggression has no place in this. Everyone can do this. It is not limited to the elite but it is limited to those who are willing to open their heart and try.
The point is to do practice appropriate to one's own intellect. To allow the illumined feelings of the work to flow in the body. This is not complicated but it can be obscured by an untrained mind.
When a mind is untrained, correct feeling can still be found but then these feelings come and go. Glimpses occur, especially in those who have some natural talent, but without knowing how such feeling arise, they are of limited value. They just tease and are impermanent.
Good dressage is not complicated or complex. It is simple but finding your way is not easy. There are too many voices and too many experts. The loudest voices are more often the ones who are most confused.
Good riding is counter culture for there have always been more poor riders than good ones. Great rider always step out of what is common." - Craig
