L'humain a utilisé le cheval d'abord comme proie puis comme outil. La "plus noble conquête" de l'humain est ainsi devenu cheval de labour, de transport, de guerre et de boucherie... Un bon ouvrier, un esclave puissant, docile, convertible en steaks easy peasy.Il a aussi été transformé en véhicule de sport : courir plus vite, sauter plus haut… et rapporter de l'argent.En France, l'équitation est le premier sport féminin (85% des 670 000 licenciés). 56% des cavalières ont moins de 16 ans. Dès qu'il s'agit de briller et de gagner, les messieurs reviennent. Plus de 60% des cavaliers des JO de Paris 2024 étaient des hommes. Sur les 12 cavaliers de l'équipe de France, on ne comptait que deux femmes, dont une remplaçante.Quoiqu'il en soit, les professionnels et les amoureux des chevaux ont des certitudes bien ancrées. Un cheval doit :"être ferré""vivre dans un box""manger de l'avoine""être dirigé avec un mors en acier dans la bouche"Dans son livre Le silence des chevaux (Amphora 2025), Pierre Enoff démonte ces pratiques, héritées des militaires. Elles sont autant de handicaps cruels et contre-productifs pour l'autre "meilleur ami de l'humain".Le cheval fait de fait partie des animaux "de rente" (bankable) les plus maltraités du monde :Il est parqué seul dans un box, alors que cet animal social devrait vadrouiller 25 km par jour.Il est ferré alors ses sabots sont faits pour s'user et s'ajuster au millimètre à sa morphologie.Il est nourri avec des pellets alors qu'il a besoin d'herbe fraîche et de plantes finement choisies.Il est sevré à 6 mois alors qu'il n'est encore qu'un bébé, pour faire des courses, amuser la galerie et enrichir toutes sortes de "spécialistes".Grâce à des précurseurs comme Pierre, une révolution est en cours. Cette série la raconte._______

On our 164th episode of The Horse & Hound Podcast, which is supported by Agria this month, we hear from Gareth Hughes, who is one of Britain's top dressage riders, with countless championship appearances to his name. Gareth speaks to Horse & Hound dressage editor Oscar Williams about the all-new FEI dressage working group, tips for new riders starting out, and how the world of dressage has shifted over the years. We hope you enjoy listening.

In this episode of The Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Kelly de Geus: an amazing horsewoman known for her ability to train horses the piaffe in a light, soft, willing, biomechanically correct way. Kelly de Geus is a dedicated horse trainer and coach from the Netherlands, who has been captivated by horses for as long as she can remember. For over a decade, Kelly's main focus has been on training horses herself, developing a specialty in teaching horses to piaffe and passage in hand. This is always a result of optimal communication and body use, and never a quick fix or trick. Having trained over 1000 horses in hand, Kelly now primarily focuses on sharing the knowledge she gained by doing so, thereby helping more people (and, in turn, more horses) feel better, improve posture and optimise performance.   I first reached out to Kelly for online lessons years ago after being mesmerised by how light and happy her horses looked in the piaffe. At the time, she didn't have online resources, but she agreed to help me through online lessons and I was blown away by her approach. She taught me that that piaffe is reflection of correct basics, and that there are a sequence of things that need to be in place before the piaffe is possible. Her values in training horses align closely to my own so I am so happy to share her voice with the horse world.   In this episode, we cover: ✨ The true purpose of piaffe as a diagnostic and gymnastic exercise (it's more than just fancy footwork and it's not a ‘circus trick'!) ✨The importance of conncection, communication, & biomechanics ✨ Common mistakes & how to know if your horse is ready to start training the piaffe ✨ The groundwork that sets the foundation for collection ✨ Adjusting her training approach to different horses  ✨The role of positive reinforcement in her training ✨Plus so much more! If you've ever dreamed of training the piaffe, this is THE episode for you!

Have you watched this week's YouTube video? I would recommend watching it as it's a really interesting one. I taught a symposium in Idaho late last year and I had a super student on a Lusitano and he started anticipating. So I shared how we worked with him when he started to anticipate the canter transition.If you have a horse that starts anticipating and getting tense, it can be hard. I would recommend working on some circles and patterns and focusing on tempo. Dressage is definitely the hardest sport!I also shared an update about Harvey, he's going to stay with my mom in Colorado for a year to have a break and just hang out in the pasture for a year.I want to remind you all to love and cherish your horses and appreciate every day you have with them.PS. Check out my Free Patterns & Figures PDF here.PPS. If you want to check out the Correct Connect Tackified Gloves that I wear, you can see them here, and use the code Amelia10 for a discount.

Karen and Robby catch up with previous guest, 5* eventer Ariel Grald. Since the last time Ariel has been on the MLE podcast in 2019, she has placed 3rd at Luhmulen and placed 11th individually at the World Championships in Pratoni with her longtime partner Leamore Master Plan. In 2024 at the Kentucky 5*, Simon suffered an injury where he is now living the semi retired life and is fuzzy and chunky with hopes to slowly bring him back to some sort of competing - maybe in the show jumping ring. Even with Simon sidelined, Ariel is busy with several top horses that she has big plans for the spring and fall. We hope you enjoy hearing everything Ariel has going on!PC: Shannon BrinkmanFollow Ariel's journey:https://www.instagram.com/arielmgrald/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/amgequestrian/Please support our sponsors:https://cowboymagic.com/https://manentailequine.com/https://exhibitorlabs.com/https://www.triplecrownfeed.com/Sign up for our mailing list!https://mailchi.mp/b232b86de7e5/majorleagueeventingllc?fbclid=IwAR2Wp0jijRKGwGU3TtPRN7wMo-UAWBwrUy2nYz3gQXXJRmSJVLIzswvtClECheckout the Major League Eventing store!https://www.majorleagueeventing.com/shop

Stephany and Aviva catch up on their own pony journeys, with Aviva dealing with yet more snow and Stephany recounting how her latest lessons went with Kathy Connelly. We get a really great question for “Ask the L” about corners, and as usual, Aviva makes it so much more digestible! We have a word from Purina, who is the sponsor of this month's podcast. In this episode, Stephany and Aviva chat with Suzanne DeStefano, a Pennsylvania based Feldenkrais practitioner and dressage rider/trainer. We delve into the mysterious question of “what IS Feldenkrais?” and get some examples of how it can help people, both in and out of the saddle. We discuss the founder, Moishe Feldenkrais, and how he came to develop this interesting way of helping people get more in touch with their bodies. We got to hear how Suzanne's personal journey in riding led her to discovering this modality, and how it has shaped both her riding and her practice with other riders. It is an interesting practice, and one that some of our listeners might find valuable if they are struggling with their own riding journey.
