Thank you very much for your words :). It’s very pleasant to read them.
I lived in Ukraine before. And I also was on Nevzorov forum for year and a half. So now it is about 2 years since we began our ground work. Kabir is 6 year gelding. He knows a lot: front and back crunches, also front crunch on cross legs, pirouette on cross legs, bows either on one knee or on two, laying down, caracole, collection, Spanish trot and Spanish walk, terre-a-terre etc.
This year I moved to Canada (Ottawa), now horse is in Ukraine I teach him and the girl who works with him by video. Next year I am going to bring Kabir to Canada.

Oh, I am so thrilled you are here! I guessed you were in Canada by the YouTube site...ca.youtube.com! (The ca stands for Canada).

You and Kabir have done so much and I am so inspired from watching the video! I have been working with one of my horses now for a year on this (Cisco). He has come a long way, but we still have so much more to do...to play..to achieve together. Honestly, I hope it never ends.

Kabir is so beautiful! It must be very hard to be parted from him.

I will wish that everything goes well and the two of you can be reunited again.

Welcome to the forum!

Wonderful video, and I thought I recognized you too. The entire video I wondered if I knew you or not - and then at the end there was the picture of you and Kabir and in the background the grey horse and I knew it for sure!

First of all; welcome here! And thanks for posting your video, it is such a wonderful source of inspiration!

There is not only me in this video. Lilia, the girl who was the reason of my switching off from NHE (official version is that it is inadmissible to teach somebody who is not on NHE forum to exercise Haute Ecole) is also there. She helps me a lot now as she trains with Kabir all those exercises which I taught him before my departure. So each day I telephone her to discuss lessons :).
I think that our success is really Kabir’s success, not mine or Lilia’s :). He is very talented and clever (some people even think that he is too clever :) ).

Then I think Kabir is blessed to have found not one, but TWO people that would allow him to express his cleverness :D . To give your horse the freedom to fly is a wonderful gift you give him in return for all he gives you. What a wonderful exchange!

wonderful!!!!!! he looks like a younger male version of my Atreyu. I love this video but it also akes me a bit sad.. Atreye has not had the benefit of beeing trained like this, but she is loved, like your horse clearly is :D

Karen, I think that for Kabir it is only compensation for hard times in his past. Before I bought him he had had a cruel trainers, and Kabir was considered to be very difficult and aggressive horse. But love, patience and time could change a lot :).

Bianca, thank you, I think that for horse to be loved and cared for is much more important than any lessons :).

Romy, thank you, I was told about this forum by one of my friends :).
