About this video

Bought as a 4 year old, this stunning mare has been successful in young horse classes. Now she's 8 and on the Equine Pathway aiming for London 2012. Olympic rider, Jane Gregory, takes us through her warmup in preparation for working on advanced moves (in another video). "Soul Sister's a good mover, active and has a fantastic brain", says Jane but right from the start the focus is on the basics drummed into Jane when training with Ulla Salzgeber - straightness, half halts, flexion and bend plus riding a good corner. Jane plays with the energy and checks the mare's responses. She shows us various exercises and also tells Soul Sister's story!

samtheman 9 Feb 2010 Yet another example of quiet balanced riding clearly showing how this enables the horse to develop into the beautiful athelete we are looking for!
Diana 12 Nov 2009 I really like the way Jane rides, so quiet and well balanced.
Fiona Price 11 Nov 2009 Hi Pegasus77, glad you liked this piece. The second part is coming soon with canter and the advanced moves. We had to do this video in two parts as to do in one piece would have been too long - around half an hour - and there was so much great stuff, we didn't want to edit for the sake of it. The first part had a natural break at the point Jane talked about how they came to buy Soul Sister. The wait will be worth it, I promise!
Fiona Price 11 Nov 2009 Jane says to Christina, Soul Sister's dam's sire was a horse called Classiker who we now believe is sadly deceased. Apparently he had fantastic scores as a young graded stallion for both paces & jumping!
Pegasus77 11 Nov 2009 So interesting, lovely mare, like 'Diana' I would have liked to see some canter - seemed over so quickly.
