After the German Judges Association and hence for some time against the FN or Rollkur added. hyperflexion as an acceptable method of riding and training expressed, was established in April 2008, a corresponding statement by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI).
is the text of the press release:
"The Veterinary Committee has stated that while no clinically detectable side effects with the hyperflexion can be linked, but there are serious concerns regarding the welfare of the horse, if this "technique" is not applied correctly. The FEI condemns hyperflexion in any equestrian sports discipline as an example of mental abuse. The FEI stressed that they do not support this training method. "
Although it is still referenced in the statement that there is no evidence of damage due to this Riding, I log out of my clinical experience here in doubt. Not without reason, the not insignificant restriction is made that damage occurs not only likely if the technology is applied correctly. But just because there is a big problem.
exercise physiologists need to classify the hyperflexion of the cervical spine (Rollkur) I think just as extreme movements and contortions of artists. Man goes to the limits of the natural mobility of the joints. The anatomy allows such principles going to the limits of movement - but that is only healthy if you point out very carefully trained. With violence there is already especially not if you want to prevent damage.
I look at the cases of Rittigkeitsproblemen that I presented for medical examination, I present determined that there is an increasing number of patients who have problems in the "neck" or in the area of insertion of the nuchal ligament on the skull and the muscles in this region. While it was mostly just "back problems" so there are now almost as many "neck problems." I leave these horses I ride on ahead then, these are almost invariably well below the vertical. At some stage the Pfrede then make "voluntary" in this attitude, because there will obviously less painful. Only very skilled riders are able to ride these horses then in the correct position.
Regarding radiographic changes in the source area of the neck band has to be careful, because they can also occur naturally without any problems. The changes are, however, arise due to incorrect posture and incorrect riding as a therapeutic problem.
anatomy of the neck region: 1 occipital, 2, first cervical vertebra, 3, second cervical vertebra, 4 taping

What is underestimated by the vast majority of riders are the forces that can be practiced with the reins on his neck. Since the teeth are not so attached to their ears, but in its mouth is, the rider gets a powerful lever in the hand. The leverage effect can use the riding hand on the occipital bone forces are generated to 1000Kg.
is leveraging the bridle on his neck
prerequisite for a correct analogy suppleness. An awkward posture is incompatible with suppleness and thus not following. Hyperflexion means a strain on the neck vertebrae, causing a surge of the back, which explains why so many actions of the horses. There are a wide variety of negative consequences if the horse is not allowed to use his neck as a balance. As the scale of training gradually to the respective lower levels building, there can be no looseness and based also no real momentum and not a correct assembly. In addition, there is the hyperflexion a police handle the same, against which the horse can hardly defend. Last but not least, it is not just aesthetic.
Heuschmann Gerd's book, finger in the wound in which this matter is not neglected, by the way the U.S. has become a hit. There is the book under the title: Tug of War: Classical Versus "Modern" Dressage: Why Classical Training Works and How Incorrect Riding Negatively Affects Horses' Health released and is currently No1 in the books tab.
The YouTube video that does not come from me shows very nice, the problem of hyperflexion or Rollkur.
provided in the attitude of the FEI hyperflexion of the cervical spine to be condemned as unacceptable from a veterinary point of view to be welcomed.
