About this video

It's nearly a year after the first Horse Hero video of Laura working with Step (when he had just come from the sales in Germany). The change is impressive. He is working in collection and has started 'baby' lateral work for purposes of suppling and building strength in the hind end. The scales of training are very much in evidence, namely working in relaxed gaits, stepping forward into the contact, impulsion to create straightness and finally throughness leading to collection. Laura explains the importance of voice aids with Step and the need of clarity in all things. Her explanations of her aids are crystal clear in this valuable early training session.

prelim 16 Feb 2010 Brilliant progress Laura. How pleasing to see such a sympathetic approach to this lovely horse, and as said what an inspiring picture to keep in mind when we school our own horses. Thank you the HHteam!
hhhorse 16 Feb 2010 Joy! Joy! Joy! So wonderful to see how it should be done! Yet again I feel inspired and will school my mare with a picture of Laura and Step in my minds eye. I cannot begin to explain what a difference these videos have made to my riding and relationship with my mare. Grateful thanks!

Thank you so much and yes I am very lucky to have my daddy! (All my saddles are Albion.)

Bri 16 Feb 2010 Wow, what progression. Amazing. Steps has grown and muscled up so much within the year. His canter is so much more developed and his paces are just spectacular. It also goes to show how the Bechtolsheimers kind and gentle way of training is so successful. Step is so keen to participate in his education - it's just a sheer pleasure to watch Laura working with her horses. And Mr B - Laura you're so lucky to have a dad like Mr B. Thanks HH
lariabelle 16 Feb 2010 Thanks a lot. I love to see riding Laura, she's a model. it's quite difficult to understand all her explication because I'm French and I haven't practised for a while but fortunatelly I see the response of her horse and I understand, and I can progress with my mare. Could you tell me please, which model of Prestige saddle Laura uses? Thanks for your very good videos!
