Very easy to read and understand. I would love to know what to do when you know how to apply this, yet the horse fights with collection. I collect and the mare just wont submit. She does well at walk, with more pressure she speeds up?. Thanks love your help

This article was very informative and simple. For those who have said they can't achieve it or are finding it diffucult. Don't forget!! Collection is just another lateral movement and takes balance, coordination and quick response from both horse and YES rider! So therefore if you find your horse is too heavy or you just can't make it work; go back to some simple shoulder-in and quarters-in. Work on some leg-yeilds etc. Transitions will also help when collecting a horse as they MUST sit on their hind quarters otherwise they risk falling over! So don't forget, if you want to help the collection process along: *Be balanced yourself and make sure you know how to ask for it. Instruction on the ground is the best. *Ensure you've built your horses topline up nice and strong with shoulder-in, quarters-in, transitions and leg-yeild at walk, trot and canter! *Make sure your horse is nice and supple and responding well as the article said. I hope I've cleared some things up! :)

Your principles are good and i know exactly what your trying to get at but you make it sound too easy, and from experience i know it is not easy to achieve collection. This could be explained it a little more detail but it is good info

Your article is great, but how do you ask a horse to collect it's hindquarters? That might be a stupid question, but i'm a beginner. My email is dtearosee@earthlink.net please write back.

hello, my name is Lyn I have a Appy Mare that is a heavy mare.(some sort of draft in her) I have been told that because she is a heavy horse and that she has a heavy step to her and because of her short neck she will not be able to collect correctly. I don't understand what this person ment by this and i was wondering if it is possible to get this lovely mare to collect like the rest of those fine featured quarter horses?! i would love some hints or comments on this i am stuck on what to do. I love western pleasure and i'm being told i can't do it with this mare!? thanks a lot I hope you can help me !!!

Sounds good to me to but what happens if you've tried this on different attempts and nothing has happened? I have a QH He's a big guy at 16'2. When staning on even ground his back end is taller than his withers. Could that be the reason why im having such a problem? And if so is there something I could do to help that problem, such as put shoes on the front end?? Please help Thanks Tracey~

I personally think that sounds like a wonderful way to start training your horse to collect! Too many people are under the impression that when the horses neck is curled and head is down the horse is "on the bit"..that always makes me mad! Great job!

I love it!!!!!! It's absolutely great! Too many riders and trainers think that collection is when the horse goes slower and has a pretty topline. There need to be more articles think this one to clear up myths about things like, alfalfa, grass hay, feeding myths, and such things. Thank You!
