Dual Activation® Basic Course " Module 7

The dual activation® styles can be an efficient support for riders and horses of all the Riding and training stages. Through various Exercises on the floor, on the Lunge and in the saddle is stimulated by the visual appeal of the colors Blue and Yellow, the brain of the horse to more uniform activity, with almost immediate improved coordination. 

Our YouTube Playlist for the dual activation: 

What is the dual activation®?

Dual-activation® is far rods more than just lunging or riding through blue and yellow Foam.

Dual-activation® allows the horses to a faster-and-Forth of the two halves of the brain. The seen and Learned can be processed quickly. Dual-activation® trained first, the Balance of the horse's brain. The balance of the two brain hemispheres, is the prerequisite for optimal Learning, and thus, for a perfectly trained horse. Standing right/left exchange, Bending, straightening and concentration, bring the horse's movement to improve coordination and Balance, and to enable its hindquarters. Horses are being addressed, through the increased body awareness, in stressful situations calmly respond and improve your muscle growth.

The Dual-activation, according to Michael Geitner is based on different training elements

Location work

In a herd of horses, the ranking is not determined by who is the Stronger, but who has the best leadership qualities.

Horses will test whether or not the person is able to take in case of an emergency the right decision. It's often the smallest of movements, centimeters, you conquer. Leadership starts at the Moment when horse and man meet together. It's not about dominance, but rather to provide confident leadership, trust and safety, in order to have a reliable Partner on the side. This is achieved with a useful thought-out Führübungen and Refer to the correct Position on the horse.

Work with the Flag

With the Flag up and the first Right – to the left in exchange for the horse. By Moving the horse's head and neck in the direction of the Flag, which is swung in front of the head, Back and Forth, begins the horse to look in the eyes of the Flag. It will just run at a steady pace, and only the head and neck in the direction of the Flag to move.

For the horse, the Flag is a highly coordinative task and promotes the halves of the uniformity of the Allure of the brain.

The lunging through the Dual-streets is Preparing for a first Approach to the riding, or the Lunge-Walking in the Dual-activation. By simply constructed course the horse is lunged through the streets. The size of the lunging circle is matched to the horse. It lunged through a logically thought-out course, which is the position and bend requires the coordination and Balance promotes. You can use the same Parcoure, as ridden Dual-activation.

When lunging the horse is only a few laps in the step, we about to go quickly to the Trabarbeit. A horse needs a longer warm-up period, the warm-up should be done before lunging.

Time system when lunging in the Dual-activation

The time system in the long-modulated Dual-activation is the same as in the case of the ridden. 3 minutes of work and 1 Minute of rest. We make 4-6 training sessions. Your horse every obstacle 2 through time, then a hand change. Every obstacle is run 8 times and then switch to the next.

Lunge-Walking

The horse is worked through the dual lanes at the double lunge, similar to the Ride from the ground.

The Dentition is omitted out of respect for the sensitive horse's mouth. With Michael Geitners double lunge, which is shorter than the usual in the Trade, the Handling easier.

Lunge-Walking has the advantage over the lunging, there's a lot of Right-to-Left changes are present. In addition, the Lunge-Walking will not be charged, as an Alternative to the riding, to the back.

Coordination, Balance and concentration to be promoted in the Lunge-Walking, the trust, which has to find the horse for a long leader, will be strengthened.

The ridden Dual-activation

Using the blue and yellow training AIDS is made by thought-out course, proven Exercises of classical dressage visible and easier to Follow.

Through continuous Right-to-Left shift in the Dual-activation, learns the horse umzulasten, gaining Balance and coordination. The horse picks up on the inner back leg more load, it will load leg and the outer hind leg to thrust the leg. As a result, the horse is on a curved line, "just", the Forehand-hand coordination is optimized, the horse responds better to the aid, because it has learned, and the rider better balance.

By newfound Balance and coordination the horse saves energy and it is prevented by optimal load, a joint wear and tear. Of horse and rider are required in the Dual activation of continual attention and concentration.

Equikinetic

How you get the structure of the muscles of your horse healthy and the undivided attention of your horse get. Make use of the projection on Know your horse-train effectively to the muscles, which it needs. Equikinetisches Training is a revolutionary, effective and yet simple.

This work is in the narrow Quadratvolte. By led lunging your horse is worked on both sides evenly and ensures a regular muscle-building. Time system and building plan in the Equikinetic, allows a very effective Work. "For more information on Equikinetic

Background

The dual activation® was born from the idea of the natural compensate for unequal halves the weight of the left and right eye or the brain.

Left and right brain are connected to the horse only poorly with each other. What is the horse with the left eye is processed in the right brain what it takes with the right eye with the left.

Due to the bad networking of both the brain information will be processed halves, often on only one side. As human horses to train, usually on only one side, namely, from left, reinforced this effect.

The consequences are manifold: uneven perception of the body of the horse, balance problems, Nervousness.

The Solution

The dual activation® continues to this transfer problems between the right and left half of the brain. For this purpose it uses a constant on the Right-to-left stimuli in the signal colours of Blue and Yellow, for horses are particularly well visible. These strong stimuli stimulate the brain to halves to a better flow of information. The effect is visible after only a few training sessions, The horse moves in a balanced, has a better perception of the body and is relaxed.

The Practice

The dual activation® consists of two elements:

  1. for the training of horses known method of street work
    from the latest scientific knowledge about the
  2. Perception of the horses with the eyes and the link of this optical stimuli to the brain


By Geitner Dual-streets, the horses are very well-alternating straight and bend. Classic lessons on how to straightening and forward riding, or half a Volte returns can handle the horse by the help of the streets better. The horses don't have to balance and coordinate, you also need to move very aware of their legs through the course and at the same time on the tab of the eighth.

The dual activation® is a basis of work to improve existing Training efficiently.

This course was absolutely awesome! Andrea has brought us a very exciting and lively, the dual activation, according to Michael Geitner closer. After the first hour, I was totally fascinated, what is the dual activation and what triggers this in the horse. Never more boring lunging!!!! Thank you for this great 2 days, it was like always very educational, exciting, and even fun 🙂 I am looking forward to the next course!
