Eddo Hoekstra Clinic Part II: Video Snippet

28 October 2010 2 Comments

After chomping at the bit to get a hold of the clinic video, I was able to pick it up today.

For some reason, I thought having half a dozen media players—most of which claimed to have editing capabilities—plus a stand-alone program or two would mean I could, you know, do some editing.

Two hours later, I managed to get a very short clip with video quality that didn’t completely suck (the DVD is great—clipped-out versions, not so much).

I give up, give in, and generally never want to go through this again. This clip may be all you get from the clinic.

She’s been under saddle (somewhat inconsistently) for about six months now, and this is only her second time off the property. Watch the difference in her trot from the first 3-5 seconds and the rest of the time—towards the end, she really starts swinging and moving like a real horse.

She’s such a good girl!

Wow - short clip but so worth the trouble. You can really see the effect in her when you re-balance… lovely. Thanks for posting this.

This is great!  Nice seat.  smile  Hard to stay that steady with a young horse trying to quicken and then relax.

I love his instructing style.  So positive.  Wait for the relaxing moment, and then ask for forward and rebalance.  Total set up for Ro to succeed.
