Episode 5 – Athletic ability of a horse (1)
In this lesson we will look at the athletic development of the horse. You can only improve the athletic ability when the horse is willing to open up to its rider. We have already discussed this in the previous lessons. Now I will teach you to continue working on ability, strength, flexibility and endurance. Guided by an explanation from my mother Tineke Bartels, I will show you how to develop strength and balance by riding half-passes, pirouettes and changes correctly and how to include the galloping track in your training.

Episode 1 – Imke Schellekens-Bartels
In this first episode I will tell you about my childhood, my close relationship with my family and our Academy Bartels family business. I will let you in on the special horses in my life and what they mean to me and will share my ambitions and future plans. You will also learn what I'm going to teach you in my masterclass.
Episode 2 – Learning theory of horses
As a rider it is important to know how a horse learns. That is why in this episode we will discuss the learning theory of horses. In our training system we use the principle of "action-pressure-reaction-reward".
Episode 3 – Posture and seat
In this episode I will tell you what you can do to develop good posture and seat. We will work with riders Lars and Jill. Using the flexchair, Saskia Heijkant explains what they can physically work on in horseriding, while they get exercises from fitness instructor Bouke van Spreeuwel.
