For those of you who know about dressage and saddle seat training?
What parts of dressage training would be useful to use in training and working the saddle seat show horse? For example the steps to collection, learning to wear the bit, etc. What would be useful to use to make a nice well trained saddle seat show horse (upper levels) and what would not be smart to use? How would you go about find out how to do them?
A good saddle seat horse is flexible and has a steady gait whether he is moving at the walk trot or canter. We started Saddle seat horses on the longe line with a circingle, draw reins and upper check to get them balanced.. nose/face almost vertical to ground, head up high for good balance at speed and then we worked them over calavetti poles – which were just poles spaced out on the ground so his length of stride at the trot stayed steady and even.
Remember, when they are moving out if their head and neck are not up and carried well they are immediately out of balance. You can do this on your own if you have great hands.
When ever you work them though they need to be absolutely steady at the gait. . going neither faster nor slower but absolutely moving forward in the same steady gait. If you let them put their nose out too much they will string out and also lose balance and a lot of their style.
I do not know what breed you are working but it is important to post correctly on the diagonal and also not ‘bounce’ down on the back of the saddle as it will damage their kidneys at the worst and make their backs sore at the least.
There is a lot to training any breed for saddle seat, but some breeds come over easier – American Saddlebreds and Arabians are two that do it well. Morgans are wonderful. Some thoroughbreds if they are not too low headed.
To learn how to train a Saddle seat horse you could try checking out some dressage books and books directed at saddle seat specifically. The best bet though is to find a stable with a good trainer and volunteer to clean stalls etc to get lessons if you cannot afford them or to watch him train. You can learn a lot by watching and if trainer will allow questions after then it is too cool.
Hope this gave you some ideas. Good luck!
