First Uberstreichen exercise with Mercury

This video shows working with the first Uberstreichen exercise with another horse. This is Mercury my 6 year old dutch warmblood.

It is also designed to help mentally prepare them for collection abd half halts under saddle so they understand it and what muscles to use.

Working with Ubersteichen exercises

Part 1 and 2 of working with Carolyn Resnick's Uberstreichen exercises with a percheron. These exercises are designed to help a horse understand how to release his neck and topline muscles. It is a ground preperation exercise for dressage, half halts, and eventually collection under saddle. I am also simultaneously working on standing and halting straight. A Liberty work foundation is strongly recommended before trying this.
