14.01.2022 In my early days as a horse trainer, I took in everything from cow horses, reiners, cutters, polo horses, jumpers and all-around horses. In all those events, on...e manoeuver that plays a key role is the rollback. While watching the horses compete in their various disciplines, I saw a lot of horses being turned around in a dysfunctional manner, and I came to realize the rollback is not a one piece manoeuver. When you dissect it, it’s actually a series of manoeuvers: 1)Stop 2)Rock back on the hindquarters 3)Flexion in the direction of travel 4)A little more than a quarter of a turn with the horse pivoting on the outside hind and then transferring to the inside hind for departure. 5)Lead departure If any of those pieces isn’t functional, the overall manoeuver will be dysfunctional to some degree or downright awful depending on the situation. If the horse runs through the stop and sticks his head in the air, you’ll have no preparation for your turn. Or, if he stops deep behind, you won’t be able to flex him in the direction of travel and his ribcage will be really straight, which will result in a dysfunctional turn. When you realize your horse isn’t performing correctly, it’s your job to get him back on track and find the piece of the puzzle that’s not in alignment. Then you work on that piece before you come back to the manoeuver again. So for example, going back to the rollback, if you can’t flex your horse’s head and neck in the direction of travel, you won’t be able to get him to lead through the turn with his nose. If you can’t control his hindquarters with your outside leg, you can’t position his inside hind leg for the turn. If you lean to the inside, then you inhibit the horse’s ability by getting in his way. You have to dissect the manoeuver to figure out where your problem is. Once you find the problem, focus on that area on its own until you and your horse are performing it well. Then you can put all the individual parts together to perform the manoeuver in its entirety. When each part is well, then you’ll be able to execute the overall manoeuver.

"He's ...the best thing I've ever been on. I lifted my leg & asked for a little bit more & he just went from under me...I was gone!" And look at that smile, priceless! www.onestylishpepto.com.au Thanks to Willinga Park for this fabulous memory! See more
