På sista tiden har vi haft ett antal riktigt intressanta diskussioner här på forumet, så jag tänkte att det är bäst att hålla igång den andan, innan allt handlar om sadlar igen... 
Läser just nu Charles de Kunffy. Det är alltid intressant när man läser en ny författare, att se hur samma sak kan uttryckas på många olika sätt. Bla skriver han så här:
"Horses try to escape the rider´s influence by three major escape mechanisms based on their naturel inclination to avoid working with the haunches. Horses find it easier to push rather than to lift and carry the rider. It is easier to shuffle with small steps and drag their feet on the ground. They try to avoid increased articulation in their joints, the reorganization of their balance that results from moving with a longitudinally flexed posture. Horses escape the rider´s control over their haunches by:
1) Inversion of the topline- using their sympathetic muscle system for fighting or resistance. Variations include overflexion and head tossing.
2) Speeding up the rythm of their footfall, rushing their tempo by running on their forehand as rapidity necessitates progression by the body´s weight pulling the structure forward with kinetic energy.
3) Moving crookedly-shoulders in or out relative to the line of progression of the hips, and haunches travellingin or out relative to the shoulders progression. Crookedness can also result from their moving without spinal alignment. This produces unlevel, uneven, choppy, stiff strides and a jarring motion that blocks the flow of energy from hocks to bridle and causes stres points in the body.
It is fascinating to recognize that these three escape mechanisms adjusted, refined, altered, and tamed constitute the very "vocabulary" of classical schooling patterns."
Är det någon som har några begåvade tankar kring detta?
