For us this always changes as we learn new things and lose others. But here is an overview of Titum's exercises:
Tricks and standstill exercises:- Jambette
- Leg lifts (I think this is called Shapp? - those where he lifts his leg and moves his hoof towards his shoulder)
- Back crunch, front crunch, compliment
- GOTM
- Pedestal work (climbing on with two or four legs, jambette on the pedestal and rearing down)
- Humming-tops
- Lying down, lying down flat and sitting + sit jambettes
- Bending the head to the side or further back to the hips in response to a touch or pointing cue
- Flehmen
- Nickering on cue
- Targeting an object at a distance (walking away, touching and then coming back to me)
Exercises in movement:- Stepping under on the cirlce in walk and trot (with the head bent to the inside)
- Shoulder-in, shoulder-out and travers
- Sidepasses towards me in walk and trot
- Sidepass with me standing behind him, or around me in a circle with me in the center
- Turning of the frontquarters and hindquarters towards me and away from me
- Spanish walk
- Passage
- Single canter jumps
- Walking and trotting long and low
- Backing up (also when I stand behind him or walk past him into the other direction)
Rears and Haute école jumps:- Several kinds of rears (low with duration, high with duration, karate jumps, forward hops from GOTM)
- Rearing/turning (like a canter pirouette)
- Laufcourbette
- Courbette (1 jump up to now, sometimes)
Abandoned exercises:These are exercises that we can do but have decided not to do anymore.- Kicking with one or two hindlegs
- Attack (charging at me, only done from behind a fence, if at all)
"Unfinished" exercises - work in progress:These are exercises that we are either working on at the moment or that we have worked on before but not gotten over the threshold where I could say that our attempts count as this exercise.- Piaffe (works great sometimes, but only when he is in a certain mood, otherwise it#s his ballerina trot)
- Sideways and backwards Spanish walk
- Rearing into GOTM
- Terre-à-terre (only works very seldom)
Uniquely Pia:These are exercises that Titum cannot do but Pia can.- Rolling over
- Dead bug (lying on her back with her belly and legs up)
- Sit rears
- Sit turns
- Kneeling (only sometimes)
- Jumping/rearing up on a pedestal or a hay bale
- Capriole
Not anymore...- Sitting with her front hooves in my hands (work in progress)
- Holding hands (standing upright with her fronthooves in my hands)
Uniquely Summy:- Retrieving objects
- Backwards Spanish walk (gone at the moment)+
I probably forgot some and will edit in some more as soon as I remember them. But what a great idea that you have opened this topic, in that way we can look back in some months and see what we have learned and lost.
Last updated: February 2013Exercises that I want to try:Combination of school halt and a turn on the hindquarters
Caterpillar exercise (switching between GOTM and back crunch)
