II. 1. Hüftgelenke
1 Kann noch gar nicht glauben, wie gut sich das Laufen mit geöffneten Hüftgelenken anfühlt. Das Becken richtet sich auf, die Vorderseite des Körpers dehnt sich, die Organe sind am Platz. Sternum und Kreuzbein verlaufen parallel. Alles passt, sitzt. wackelt und hat Luft. Und auf einmal geht auch der große,... Continue reading

Und so ging/geht es weiter!
Manchmal nützt es nichts. Man muss genau werden: Genau hinsehen, genau nachdenken, genau berichten... Manchmal lässt es sich einfach nicht vermeiden. Und so geschah es mit den Untersuchungen "Was tun diese Übungen eigentlich...?". Nicht anderes ergab sich für das daraus hervorgehende Projekt "Hände". Inzwischen haben die Untersuchungen der Ursprünge der... Continue reading

(5) The Outdoors School. Going Straight and Bending. Last Paragraph.
...the last paragraph of Chapter Five, Going Straight and Bending is a summary of its content... The correct turn thus, as concerns the horse, rests in its capacity to appropriately take up the amount of lateral bending and horizontal versus vertical balance of its body, which the more or less...

(7) ...this paragraph is very well suited to document the inevitably poor results of Steinbrecht's suggestions, if carried out too literally and/or implemented by an uninitiated rider... It also offers the chance to comment on Steinbrecht's thinking one idea at a time. To fully understand text and comments it may... Continue reading

All the while it was/is apparent that, even with my highest regard for Steinbrecht, I do not always follow his advice, nor do I fully agree with his expositions. To prevent loosing orientation of what a. he speaks... Continue reading

The result is a false locomotion, in which front legs display a... Continue reading
