Permeability

As momentum or diligence in the horse is called the energetic pulse of the hindquarters of the animal, which is transferred to the total forward movement of the horse. " A horse is peppy when it abfußt energetic and with his limbs due to swings in the balance phase well ahead." Swing is in contrast to thrust not exist in nature and can be promoted through the training of the horse:

" Momentum is the result of equestrian training work which, while exploits the natural gait of the horse, but the properties suppleness, added him thrust from the hindquarters and permeability. "

Momentum is the fourth point of the scale training of the horse. Momentum gorgeous gaits trot and canter, as these movements involve a floating phase in which there are all four legs of the horse from the ground.

Importance in dressage work

For Seunig the swing is " the Alpha and Omega each dressierenden work". He also calls it next to the clock -based and suppleness Latching one of the two " foundation stones on which any dressage builds up ." Here come the hind legs " expansive, lively, elastic and closer to each other over", making her the " increased load-carrying " enabled, so that the momentum is a prerequisite to the meeting.

"These two cardinal claims [ i.e., Latching and momentum ] that need to be up to its completion fulfilled from the start of dressage in ever increasingly involve and condition Rhythm, suppleness, pure expansive transition, longitudinal bending, straightening, and finally, as the crown of education, permeable obedience in the Assembly. "

Momentum in terms of " forward drive" is required especially for tight turns when " the bridle, clean and precise " to be executed. For page transitions in strong secondment is a " swing development in increased assembly" essential.

Requirements

Indispensable for the development of the swing the Hankenbeugung, so the diffraction of hip and knee joint is: " The longer the flexor phase lasts at the expense of pure extension, the serious and sweeping the gear is ", there is a " resilient Preshoot still out of the movement ". Further requirements for swinging motions are

• The smooth and balanced seat of the rider
• Correct use of aids of the rider / driver
• Rhythm, suppleness and support of the horse ( the first three points of the training scale)
• The absence of physical impairments or significant building defects of the horse

Features

Features of the peppy continuous horse include the following.

• The ankle joints are flexed immediately after lift-off forward, not up or back.
• By pushing forward and over the swinging back of the rider is in set in motion and come to a deep and smooth fit
• Improve the action of the front legs
• Pronounced hover
• At trot reinforcements increased stride
• At a gallop reinforcements increased soil profit

Elaboration of the momentum

Momentum builds on the previous points of the scale of the training. He is " the transfer of the energetic pulse from the hindquarters to the overall forward movement of the horse ", so each lesson promotes, stimulates the hindquarters to increased sub- kicking, the momentum. On the swing development based the following points on the scale of training, but not in the sense of linear progress, because of the development of the swing, it is necessary that the horse already has straight direction and a certain amount of assembly.
