Many people think of the concept of disengagement as one that is related to those who ride and train in a western style, a cowboy method of training.
In the western world, disengagement of the hindquarters is described in several different ways. The basic concept is a displacement of the hind end as a method to gain control of the horse.
A way to take away the flight response.
It must be hoped that the trainer means to stop the horse from going
forward, rather than to stop the horse’s forward impulsion.
The term disengagement in dressage is sometimes used to refer to the position of the horse's legs being either well under the belly, or extended backward on a longitudinal plane. Proper execution makes disengaging a "forward" movement, not a STOP, which can be extremely useful with young and green horses, and with the more educated horses used as needed.
I find the concept of teaching one thing and the opposite very useful, like when we teach a horse to speed up or slow down, increase length of stride or shorten. So, teaching disengage or engage is good idea.
Disengaging the hind end can be part of a one-rein-stop (careful execution and definition of that term needed, as well as practicing it before an emergency just like anything else.)
The basic disengagement, start from the ground and it is followed by engagement. To disengage the hindquarters is to push them away from you and retain the horse's focus. You could almost think of it in terms of asking the horse to turn on its forehand.
Disengagement under saddle helps the rider to feel the movement of the hind legs, one at a time, and the timing of when a hind foot leaves the ground. With practice and exercises, it leads directly to influencing engaging each hind leg, one at a time, with accuracy, like in the aid for lope depart on the desired lead.
Disengagement accrue when the rider changes the horse's balance and move his inside hind leg out of the track.
