Sven Rothenberger works with accomplished rider and coach Kristin Stein and her Dutch gelding Karamba. Sven emphasizes the importance of the rider intending for the horse to have soft contact and stay in self-carriage while trying to avoid getting behind the vertical. This can be achieved by working on accepting the contact and hind-leg engagement for connection. Karamba is searching for balance, and Kristin must allow him to get longer, stretch and fill his connection from behind to the bit. With more stretch, Karamba has a free shoulder, over track and better natural movement.
