Невозможно разбираться во всем. Не идиоты, а невежи. Поэтому просто надо объяснять. А дальше - умный поймет и будет действовать правильно, менее умный - не поймет, еще и вас грязью польет.

Приведу цитаты из интервью с Эгон фон Нейндорфом
EH: And what is the most important philosophical consideration for the rider?
EvN: Modesty and wanting to serve, putting ego aside. The desire to listen to the horse, which must come from one's heart, and then must be filled in practice through the feeling of the rider. The study also entails all those things that go toward nature oriented riding. The ability to co-relate and unify the feelings from the saddle with the philosophy in which we believe. We must be fully aware of the fact that a lifetime isn't long enough to come to know all about horsemanship. Accordingly, it is essential that we stand on the shoulders of the past Masters in order to fully utilize and profit from the experiences. And only because of the past can we now enjoy that harmony. A harmony that the horse understands because the training is founded on its nature. It is only the true gymnastic school that makes beauty possible. These are things that are beyond subjective opinion, they are deeply rooted in the laws of nature. And it is this that keeps the horses sound and healthy to a ripe old age. The knowledgeable horseman sees this in and through the horses, both in the way they go, and in the build of the muscle structure. That is what distinguishes the real high-school riding from pretender to the throne.
EH: Surely you must be pleased to hear that the "forward and down" stretching exercise is now a required part of some dressage tests, at least in the USA. Are there any other exercises that you feel would be useful to add in order to assist and guide the equestrian community to a higher standard and to a greater awareness for the need to find harmony with the horse's nature?
EvN: Any exercises that will support working the horse honestly...for example, "walk on buckle" at various points during a test, and then putting it back on the aids again. Clear lengthenings and shortenings of the horse's frame-up to and including "chew the reins out of the hands," back and forth. And to show "forward and down" stretching possibly several times during any one test, even in the higher levels. Grand Prix on a snaffle as well as on a double bridle. Reins in one hand for the flying changes.
EH: Could you explain why it is so critical that the horse be ridden with its face in front of the vertical at all times, even when doing the forward and down stretching exercise?
EvN: The whole horse must belong to the rider. This can only exist without compromise when the energy from the hindquarters, traveling through both the supple horse and rider, are the cause of the weight in the hand (as opposed to originating from an unbalanced leaning, or tension). Unless the horse always follows the giving hand in a "forward and outward" manner, it is a sign that it is not really in the hand from behind. This is particularly so when the horse rolls up in the neck or at the poll; then the horse is not really in front of the rider. On the other hand, however, the horse must also be properly yielded in the jaw and poll, because any stiffness in these areas would also be against a true connection from the hind foot to the hand.
