Training your horse the gentle way
A horse without a rider is still a horse, but a rider without a horse is just a pedestrian,? says the international Grand Prix trainer Uwe Schwanz of Germany. ?We should never forget this.?
Schwanz competes successfully at top level in both, dressage and showjumping, and is twice German champion of professional riders in Three-Day Eventing. ?Of course it is preferable to have a horse you can train right from the word go,? Schwanz who has trained many top class show jumpers and dressage horses through Grand Prix, says. ?But you can also do a lot with so-called problem horses. Personally, I do not believe that there are problem horses at all, only problem riders.?
The German rider-trainer thinks that many lesser riders still make the mistake of blaming the horse, instead of ?? putting the blame where it needs to be, in the court of the rider.?
He says that as riders we need to learn to sensitise ourselves to each individual horse and not ask more than the horse is capable of giving on a physical and also mental level. His own horses are trained no more than 30 minutes per day each, spending the rest of the time out in the field because this is good for their mental well-being. ? I work with my horses one movement at a time and in the end put them all together into one joint whole,? he explains.
In Germany, Schwanz (website: http://www.uweschwanz.com) is one of the top trainers for both, dressage and jumping, and he also trains riders at international level, such as the Argentinean PanAM dressage team. ?When someone comes to me for training,? Schwanz says, ? I take great care to evaluate both horse and rider and then speak frankly about the ability of both. Then we determine together how far they can go in their riding career, will it be all the way to Grand Prix, or is the limit reached at the lower classes??
Asking too much of a horse, too soon, is another big problem. ?Look at all the great jumpers, full of potential and with enormous scope, who suddenly turn sour and won?t even jump over a small log anymore. Because if you keep asking your horse to perform at top level, over and over, even when the need is not there, eventually it will born out.?
As riders, what are we to learn from the Germans then: slowly, slowly, slowly. Patience seems to be the key word to success in horse training!

Curious About The Gaits Of A Horse?
The horse is said to have four natural gaits, namely the walk, trot, canter and gallop. When you learn to ride you start off slow with the walk and work your way up in speed to the gallop. Each gait requires the rider to be balanced. Like a baby learns to crawl before he runs, I recommend that every beginner rider learn to walk before they gallop off into the sunset.
