25.01.2022 "Dressage is the art of teaching the horse to carry you. Riding is the art of learning to be a good load to carry." ~ Richard Weiss

25.01.2022 Great article on rising trot.

24.01.2022 I encourage everyone to read this article about rider position and how important it is to be balanced with your horse!

23.01.2022 When you pay for a lesson or training, you aren’t buying an hour of my time. You’re paying for thousands of hours of sweat, struggle, success and tears. You’re ...buying injuries, mistakes, and revelations. You’re buying nights awake thinking about a horse or student I need to help more. You’re buying hours of hauling hay, mucking stalls and grooming, of carefully checking your horse over like It was my own. You’re paying for my further education, because i still take lessons as frequently as possible. You’re paying for my care, concern, over dinner conversation, and you inevitably become a central part of my life. You can’t put a price on education, or personal development, or the bliss of finally being with a horse. Thank you for sharing with me, teaching me, and letting me teach you, while I put food on my table and hay in my barn with the most fulfilling job ever. Beautifully written by the eloquent Amy Skinner!

20.01.2022 This is why you don't give up.

20.01.2022 When we have good control of our legs this helps create good clear communication with our horse. The ability to use leg pressure whenever we need and however we... want requires good body control, coordination, stability and balance when in the saddle. Now in order to create this balance and stability, its about understanding our own body and its biomechanics so that you can optimize your performance in the saddle. Like humans, horses tend to have a weaker side and as we train them through the grades we are working on their symmetry and straightness to help even them up and allow them to have good posture when we ride. This is to allow them to build strength correctly which helps protect joints and ligaments as the work demands get greater. Poor posture and poor muscle development can create undue forces and imbalances which can lead to problems later on. In this article I share videos on how you can improve your leg strength and explain in detail about each exercise. https://dressageridertraining.com//6-leg-exercises-to-imp/

20.01.2022 These are fantastic images to visualise while riding.

18.01.2022 Very good article, a must read.

18.01.2022 Excellent read!

17.01.2022 "Sure, armed with a budget equivalent to the gross national product of a small country you could go out and buy Totilas’s little brother. Even then, there are ...problems. A horse naturally carries approximately two-thirds of his body weight on his forehand. Add a person and he will fall on his forehand. So, buying something that already has the conformation and natural ability is a step in the right direction. But let’s face it: Many of us have flatter moving, downhill-built horses. But there is hope for us." In this article, Candy Allen discusses how to create more freedom in a horse's shoulder and achieve uphill balance. --> https://dressagetoday.com//how-to-achieve-real-uphill-bala

17.01.2022 Tip on downward transitions as a tool "If your horse is too forward for the balance, use your half-halts and downward transitions to ask him to stabilize the... balance. Sometimes make a transition to halt, or to halt and turn-on-the-forehand, so he learns to stay under your seat and carry more weight with the hindquarters." Read more in this article as Beth Baumert shares a simple (but not easy!) exercise to improve your horse's throughness using upward and downward transitions.

15.01.2022 Because so many of you asked for the English version of this film yesterday, here it is. Sitting correctly is not always so easy. But extremely important for co...mmunicating with your horse effectively. And for the amazing feeling of having your horse react to the smallest of aids by just thinking about it. In the pferdia video Rider Body Language this is exactly what you will learn: following the movement of the horse, giving aids correctly and effectively, as well as common mistakes and how to fix them. A quick glance at the chapter list shows us just how much we can learn: (1) The supple and secure seat (2) Breathing (3) The correct stirrup length (4) The movement in the saddle (5) Riding with cushions (6) Riding with rubber stirrups (7) Posture (8) Rising trot (9) Sitting trot (10) Riding turns (11) One sided weight aids If you are trying to improve your seat and would like to learn more, you will find the DVD here: http://www.pferdia.com//english-t/rider-body-language.html ...and from early 2018 we will have this available on our English Streaming Website - we are working hard to have everything ready for you asap!

14.01.2022 Very interesting read.

13.01.2022 A very successful weekend at Valley Equestrian Vet Centre Dressage State Championships. Couldn't be happier with Legato working consistently all weekend with some great % achieved and placing in one of our tests. A very big thank you to the sponsors and the committee members that put so much time and effort into running a great event.Thank you to Hannah and Gavin for all their help and support over the weekend.

13.01.2022 A really clear explanation of correct equine dynamic posture I really connect with the practice of developing your horses longitudinal flexion and support, and then progressing and interweaving lateral flexion exercises into training.

12.01.2022 This is a great explanation.

08.01.2022 #TBT How to Ride the Posting Trot: A Skeletal View Posting trot is a gait many riders struggle to learn and struggle to do well. It may feel difficult to stay ...with the movement of the horse, or to avoid the feeling of easily being thrown off balance. We are often taught rising trot with the chant of up, down, up, down, but the actual movement of posting isnt really about going up and down. Also, one of the most common pieces of riding advice, heels down, when done in the wrong way, can actually make posting much more difficult. In the video below, Wendy Murdoch shows how to ride an effortless posting trot, using a horse and rider skeleton to show the correct movement.
