each one out he feels really good when he gets rewarded for trying and succeeding. Any horse is only as strong as his weakest link and we usually plan the work around the central issue of each horse. For Toti, it consists of increasing suppleness, modu- lating thrust, teaching adjustability and loosening his very strong muscular system. I am glad to report that he is progressing very well within his needs, strengths and weaknesses. Cedar has been working with me for more than five
years and she has built a lot of technical resources by training many young horses, some of them through all of the Grand Prix exercises. She is very creative in her work and tries to adapt her work plan to the problem at hand, always going back to the fundamental issue to be resolved. This is what makes the difference between a true trainer and a mere rider who can look pretty in the saddle and follow a fixed program, but often blames the horse for his supposed shortcomings. Throughout equestrian history, methods and tech-
niques have been created by horsemen of many countries to resolve just about any problem horses may present us with. It is a matter of reading, reflecting, trying and adapt- ing—and understanding that everything can be resolved in time.
A Word of Caution
Long lining can be a dangerous business. Please do not attempt this without the aid of an experienced trainer of long lining. Also make sure that your whip is longer than your long lines and your lines are longer than an extended hind leg. If you have any doubt on the tolerance of your horse for the whip, do not use the whip when working from behind (particularly in canter) or even carry one to avoid the temptation of using it in frustration. It is easier and safer to obtain impulsion or correct direction by slapping the horse on his sides with the lines (as the drivers do). With time, trainers can learn to slap a hip or a shoulder at the right moment to make it advance or straighten up. When long lining, it is safest to follow from far
away or from very close (in the classical method), but never in between. Even experienced trainers can make mistakes. So when in trouble, pause and rethink your equipment and your positioning. Horses can get frustrated when they don’t understand and that is the moment they may lash out if pushed too hard.
