The higher level of “Meditation.”

Paraphrasing Leo Tolstoy, freethinkers are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, and beliefs. This state of mind is not common but is essential for refined equitation. We can all work at this level, and it is a superior pleasure to work at this level.

I talk about a higher level of meditation because high concentration allows us to feel and redirect minute shifts and changes in the horse’s physique. We need a sound understanding of the performance’s athletic demand to comprehend what we feel. Master Two 24 explained the physical demands of the Piaffe, Tempi Changes, Canter, pirouette, and Passage. Master Two 25 goes one step further. The body control we need to achieve is not reachable through natural reflexes. The solution is within ourselves but at a more sophisticated level. Our physical intelligence develops muscle synergies, closed kinematics chains, allowing us to feel and act at a level untouchable through traditional approaches.

At the Science of Motion’s training center, horses work at every level, from elementary to Grand Prix. We apply to Master Two, the approach that has been successful in Simple and Master One 24. We record and show the daily work and the different phases guiding the horse’s mental processing, physical development, and control needed for higher-level movements. The confidence that the horse develops through the gentleness of our interactions frees the horse’s mind from the fear of doing wrong and allows subtler processing.

As riders, we are as traumatized as horses by the archaism of our education. We apply formulas and interpret the horse’s reaction regarding the formula’s theoretical effect. A horse can execute the same movement using different muscles and fascia combinations. So is the rider. I show the way I do it. This does not mean you must do it exactly the same way. If the horse responds efficiently, how your physique asked the question was effective. Don’t break the rule as an artist before you know the rule as a pro, but don’t allow the rule to numb your intuition. It is a mistake to fit the horse to our beliefs, and it is a greater mistake not to consult the horse.

Adequate muscle synergies develop in response to the horse’s mental processing guided by the pertinence of our questions. The dumb summary of this sophisticated interaction is the concept of obedience. An obedient horse is unfit for the athletic demand of high-level movements. So is a rider obeying the rules.

Master Two studies four movements, Piaffe, Tempi changes, Canter Pirouette and Passage. Three months on each subject gives the time to review on video how the study of a simpler movement prepared the horse’s physique for the athletic demand of high-level movements.

Master Two’s main teaching is that a training technique that does not prepare a horse for the athletic demand of high-level movements does not efficiently prepare a horse for less difficult movements. The horse’s talent might compensate for the ineffectiveness of the training approach but pathology is likely to develop.

Master Two makes you realize the rider you are and the horse that you own. Master Two also teaches humility as humility is the superpower that we need to apply new knowledge efficiently.
