About this video

Zolansky, the fabulous 5 year old stallion who was reserve in the 'Supreme Young Horse' Championship at the Nationals '08, is ridden at home by World Class Squad member Gemma Green. Gemma focuses on cadence and a soft outline, ensuring the trainable stallion 'steps under' without being too heavy in the hand. The aim is to increase the amount of self carriage and power. Through attention to detail in the transitions, Gemma ensures Zack's mind is always on her and what she will ask him to do next. Gemma also talks about the importance of knowing 'how much is too much' with a youngster. This is a beautifully ridden and narrated session!

hhhorse 27 Nov 2009 Inspirational! Lovely to see how much Gemma considers her horse. Really envy your school....have only got a field!!!
Alfie 28 Jun 2009 Watched this again - as I have to say you have a really good riding position and harmonious influence on the horse - which I would like to replocate - in my dreams!
EQU][NE 28 Jun 2009 It's cool to watch you training, Gemma! Kudos for being able to talk while riding! And you sound a lot like me when you say you aren't the bravest on horses...only difference is you're a way better rider!
oasisdisco 15 Jun 2009 I think its great the way Gemma takes the time to show us how she rides and trains and even replies to questions here. Thanks Gemma....I also think its better to ride a quieter, more trainable horse...much safer!
