Hello everyone, Speaking of shoulders, I am once again working on getting shoulder gives from the ground with rein pressure. This has been a very difficult ...
The reason to get the hip is so that he becomes "engaged" behind. The best way that I can put this is that the hind end begins to articulate in its movement. ...
Hi Dolores, Good to hear from you. I had no idea there would be a residual factor (hindend begins to articulate in it's movement) to this that would last for...

Hi Teresa, Here is a copy of the email that I sent to Marjorie when she posted the question about moving the shoulders. She sent her question both to me, and ...
Hi Peggy, Don't know if you remember meeting me at the Clicker Expo, but anyway I would love to come and see you and your horses in Santa Barbara! Let me know...

Thanks Katie, So maybe I'll precede a HSS session with a "shoulders only" session. I'm thinking: a couple of shoulders over with light hand pressure (no gttb) ...
Hi Teresa, You may have to disregard my last message... You posted about moving the shoulders on the thread Marjorie started about moving the shoulders...
Sorry, I don't remember what 3 flip 3 is or how that compares to HSS. It seems to me they are very similar. We have shoulder gives to hand pressure but not...
Hi Teresa, Ok, let's back up a little. 3 flip 3 - 3 gives of the jaw, give of the hip, 3 more gives of the jaw. 3 flip 3 teaches the horse to give his hip...
Ok, I know what you're talking about with the 3 flip 3. I do gives, then hip, followed by more gives (may or may not be 3) and didn't even know that had a...
Hi Teresa, Please keep in mind that I learned my John Lyons from Alex and reading the ground control manual. I know that Alex has changed his exercises...
I'm so glad we had this discussion. I will do some re-reading and re-watching. I don't remember if the book ever says which direction the shoulders are...
Not surprising. It's the hip that gives you control of the engine. HSS is a John Lyons exercise that Alex adopted. 3FLIP3 is not a JL. I believe this is one of...
Maybe you need a different exercise. You did not say exactly what you are trying to get his shoulder to do. HSS (to my understanding) is more of a backing...

Hi Teresa, I'm glad you're glad we had this discussion <smile>. My kids and I have a running joke with stuff like this and they would reply "I'm glad you're...
This has been a very timely shoulder discussion for me. I just had my second ride on Hannah today, since she foaled about 6 weeks ago. Because she has a foal...
"When I ride out, I walk on the buckle a lot and use the single rein riding, but if I go to a faster gait, I usually go to two reins." Why is that Katie? On...
... Well Katie and Teresa, I'm also glad that you had this discussion! It has become apparent to me recently that I need to work on asking Passh to move his...
Forgive me if I've put the wrong text on top - I have a huge mental block about that... On the contrary, a 'rollback' is when your horse comes to a stop, and...
Hi Elaine, I had a similar question about some work I was doing with Stella the pony. She did not give at all, and when she finally did, she would give but...
Hi Dolores, Why don't I trail ride at faster gaits on a single rein? I guess the short answer is that I would have to put in some training time into it to be...

Hi Katie, Thanks so much for your reply... I really appreciate your help! I did experiment with flexion standing still yesterday too, and there was no problem...

Hi Dolores, Yes, I understand what you are saying and perhaps I will explore it this summer when I do more trail riding. Thanks for the food for thought. Katie...
