04. How do I help the horse perform AND feel good?
Are insurance companies, horse owners, and veterinarians sometimes too quick to write off horses today?
- 01Balance the horse's performance with responsibility for its well-being—they are not mutually exclusive
- 02The shift from horsemanship to riding skills has affected how we train and understand the horse
- 03Fascia affects the horse's mobility and thus its potential for performance
- 04Give the horse optimal conditions based on its individual capacity, not a general ideal
- 05Put horsemanship at the center—it is the foundation for sustainable and ethical training
How do I help the horse perform AND feel good?
Performance and Fascia – how are they actually connected? Is the ability to perform important? We discuss past breeding compared to today's breeding, modern training methods, and why the focus has shifted from horsemanship to riding skills—what's most important? Of course, high performance is not a negative thing, but with it comes a responsibility as a horse owner. How do you ensure the horse has the optimal conditions to perform to the best of its ability without it coming at the expense of its well-being?
