Classical Connections - Seunig and Overtracking

SEPTEMBER 2005 • HORSES For LIFE™ Magazine

Classical Dressage

Our ongoing series of articles studying the masters and what we can learn from them today!

In this article through the words of Seunig we explore the concept of the The Plumb Line.. the Center of Gravity

and how does this relate to overtracking, undertracking and tracking up?

Is overtracking good? Undertracking bad?

Join us in the surprising answers we find in Seunigs words!!

Seunig

The Plumb Line OR The center of Balance

And Overtracking, Undertracking and Tracking Up

“There is seldom a riding lesson or classroom lecture in which forward reach of hind legs, that is, engagement of the hindquarters in the direction of the base of the plumb line through the centre of gravity of rider and horse, is not mentioned.”

Seunig

This idea is one of those keystones, one of the foundations of correct riding. Riding the hindquarters into the center of gravity into the center of balance. Into the center of the horse.

So how does this relate to overtracking, undertracking and tracking up?
