Academic Riding By Bent Brenderup
Bent Branderup’s motto “Two spirits who want to do what two bodies can” includes that he is not only training the horse physically, but also mentally. The thoughtful use of gymnastic excersises should build up the horse and keep it healthy. The Academic Art of Riding begins with the awareness of the horse as a worthy being, a partner in life. The basic is to gather the knowledge and the use of the different aids, to build up a communication between horse and man. The aim is to get physically and mentally so close to the horse so that the spectator gets the impression of a dancing couple. The rider has to take responsibility for the horse that the horse has enough trust in his rider to accept the guidance.
The Academic Art of Riding is based on the knowledge of old riding masters.
Starting with Xenophon, Pluvinel, Guérinière, Newcastle and up to Steinbrecht, just to name the most outstanding masters. Bent Branderups aim in life is to bring back the knowledge of the old masters and to explain their work. Since years he dedicates his time to the art of riding, a never ending journey into the work of the old masters and the work with his own horses and students.
Other then that, Bent did a Majour impackt in the Horse world, when he figured out that training the horses by there capacity and anatomy, allot of horses cut be saved from the slaughter houses around the world.
one of those horses was my first horse Narnia Lobo, that got a knee frakturer and if i hadent know about BB and he´s Horse Hugin history, she proberly was been slaugter like allot of other horses out there, insted i ended up retraining her in BB´s tecnics and thanks to him she got healthy again, against all vet`s ods i still remember the vet´s saying when they lookt at the scanning of her knee..."she´s the only horse known that has been retraind whit a knee frakture so sevire, can we keep this info?"....i tool them how i did, and that becurse off BB´s methods, i again had a horse that was jumping around like a yearling, and they just stod there like...who is this wise man. so i may have told them.....;)(shhh dont tell. ) (Pic: Narnia Lobo, as 6 years old, all fitt for fight against all ods, thanks to BB.<3)
Im not a BB groupie thow, i dont agree whit all things that BB think, but i do use ALL of he´s ground work and most of he´s riding idee`s on all of my horses, combined whit Centret riding and some other wise men out there.
When that´s sayid, i think every body shout know about what he´s learning out there and use it in the way they can, if you want a healthy horse in the long road, it´s absolutly worth using what you can from BB.
