The de Nemethy Method Series – Advanced Gymnastic 2

Advanced Gymnastic Training of the Horse – Part Two

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, the second part of his advanced gymnastic topics, variation in stride number between the elements of the exercises challenge the horse and rider as the jumps increase in size.

Running Time: 12 minutes 54 seconds
