Hans-Heinrich, German young rider coach, shared insight into what he looks for in a young rider. First, he looks for a rider with a top quality seat that has feeling for the horse and is aware of what he is doing. Each day the goal should be small steps forward, making things super before moving on. It is important to give yourself time to work on the horse, you must not rush the training. Keeping the horse happy throughout training is key, as a rider you must say thank you to your horse. The horses should have fun when they go in the arena and want to work. The rider must find ways to make riding fun for the horse and learn to trust what they are feeling from the horse.
Eight German U25 riders schooling their quadrille on Friday, they will be performing after the Freestyles on Sunday.
Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Unee BB schooling on Friday. Her ride was lovely to watch on Friday. Unee BB was so relaxed and truly looked like he enjoyed his work. Jessica was a very soft, quiet rider and was a pleasure to watch. About half way through her ride, she pulled her stirrups off of her saddle and continued to school without them.
