Crookedness therapy and correction
Let's create some facts
The natural crookedness is an overstraining of one shoulder
That is handedness !
Through this the natural crookedness becomes a diagonal shift.

Depending on the horse's handedness the shift ends up either in the right or in the left fore leg

On a circle horses shift their weight from the hindquartes on the shortest route onto their handed and that way strong forehand (here the right). They make themselves hollow on the other side, here on the left.
This has consequences, for example. :
How many times have in their context trainers been asked why horses lose rhythm, impulsion and suppleness in the course of the training…….
![]() |
The horse is a flight and a steppe animal and with its anatomy adjusted to exactly that. |
![]() |
Being broken in this way problems are bound to ccur. Unfortunately - even though many refuse to believe it - it is a fact that 80% of the horses are being broken in without a change in this motion pattern. Consequently those horses become patients. |
![]() |
Because the horse's trunk is hung up in the shoulders area: "It practically hangs in the ropes"..... |
![]() |
... the trapezius muscle right here blocks the forehand with his second function.... |
![]() |
.... and the horses trunk is pushed downwards. |
![]() |
Why is shoulder-in - according to Nuño Oliveira the aspirin for everything - so important? Because it is a diagonal shift in a positive sense! |

The goal are the 2 bending lines that have to be attained through training. 1. The horizontel |

and 2. the vertical. |

Why do different occupational groups seriously believe that the natural crookedness is to be solved by treatment……..
………because the sevrity and significanse of this subject hasn't dawned on them yet?
………because spesialists accomplish exellent work but not in its entirety.
Why do important horse specialists rise and demand changes?
And wich ones?
We believe that only the two-level training will lead to success, in a way we can still find it in the old School.
