  • Lateral Work in Dressage: A recipe for suppleness: bend and counter-bend - http://www.freerein.com/guide/lateralwork/counterbend.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Lateral Work in Dressage: A recipe for suppleness: bend and counter-bend. A RECIPE FOR SUPPLENESS. If you haven't read the introduction, please read it first. counter bend is a very effective, yet very simple, exercise for improving the suppleness and engagement of the hindquarters. While, for the most part, we ask the horse to bend so that his spine is following the arc of the circle on which he's travelling, it can be very useful to ask him to bend opposite( counter) the direction he's turning. What: A horse who is counter-bent is turning in one direction and bending in the other. Why: Counter bend introduces an important concept to the horse: that he doesn't always follow his nose. Additionally, counter bend increases the suppleness and carrying power of the hind legs, without requiring the horse to know lots of high-end dressage work. The classic aids for correcting a horse who travels with his haunches out is outside leg, behind the girth. In counter bend, however, the horse must carry his inside leg( remember our definitions of inside and outside) farther underneath him in order to perform the turn. When: Prerequisites for teaching the horse counter bend include stop, go and steer. How: It's best if you can introduce counter bend in an enclosed area, so that you can use the physical presence of the rail as a barrier. It's a habit that might not seem like much, but it will get you in trouble later in your horse's training, and will make almost all the lateral work very difficult to do. If you see that hand trying to cross the neck, give it a mental slap on the knuckles and imagine that your horse's bit doesn't have any rings, and that the only thing keeping the bit in the horse's mouth is the even pressure of your two reins. When you can ride a reasonable counter bend using the rail as a barrier, try riding a circle maintaining the counter bend. Once your horse understands the basic concept of counter bend one direction, try the other direction as well. Remember that, as with all suppling exercises, it's not how beautifully your horse performs the exercise that counts-- it's how well he does his regular work after the exercise. You can probably get through counter bend at walk and trot all in one training session. Counter bend at the canter is a much more sophisticated exercise and requires more initial strength from the horse. Be creative in figure-eights and changes through the circle, as well.

  • Lateral Work in Dressage: The turn on the forehand - http://www.freerein.com/guide/lateralwork/forehand.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Lateral Work in Dressage: The turn on the forehand. LATERAL WORK IN DRESSAGE. The turn on the forehand is the most basic of all dressage lateral movements." It's the beginning step toward gaining control over your horse's haunches. Which tests: The turn on the forehand is not required in any American Horse Shows Association or United States Dressage Federation dressage test. It's important to understand the purpose of this movement: to teach the horse to move away from leg pressure. If the horse fails to respond to leg pressure, the rider can augment the pressure with a touch of the whip or a bump of the spur. The horse should take one step sideways-- in this movement and all the other lateral work as well-- for each application of leg pressure. " You must always move forward after a lateral movement!" Right, you must move forward after the horse responds to your request, but most horses, understandably, respond to your early requests for turn on the forehand by dragging you forward instead. A horse should never learn to avoid your lateral movement requests by backing up, but most horses don't have this backwards tendency. The trick is-- and this is much harder than it appears-- to relax your leg pressure only when the horse responds correctly to your leg, by moving his haunches sideways. Of course, the horse has to move his forelegs slightly during the turn on the forehand, unless he's one of those talented circus-bound types that can twist his forelegs like a pretzel. Many riders tend, when learning to do lateral work, to clamp one set of aids on the horse, Arnold Schwarzenegger-style, and not react to the horse's response. Remember to release the pressure as soon as the horse responds correctly. Links to these pages are strongly encouraged; no reproduction without specific written consent of the author.

  • History - http://hoof-beats.com/history.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: History of" Hoofbeats". Hoofbeats becomes a REALITY! Well, at least on paper. Hoofbeats was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in Virginia. Carol Branscome( Riding Instructor) and Trish Rogers( Program Director) attended a NARHA General Operating Workshop in Montana to learn about how to set up a therapeutic riding center, how to get accredited, and how to operate safely and in accordance with NARHA standards. Gary and Trish Rogers purchased the farm with the intention of starting a therapeutic riding and day camp facility. Hoofbeats was notified of its successful application for federal tax exempt status as a nonprofit corporation. Therapy horse training and selection started in the spring with Dutchess, Newt, Applejack, Newt, Bebe, Bain, and Togo--wonderful horses and ponies, whether they were with us for only a short while, or like Bebe, are still going strong. Over 125 people attended! Therapeutic riding lessons started the week of June 1st with 12 disabled clients and 6 able-bodied riders. Our riders participated in one in-house horse show and the Therapeutic Riding Association of Virginia( TRAV) statewide horse show. We provided the horseback riding portion of the ARC of Rockbridge Summer Day Camp. Trish and Carol made presentations about therapeutic riding to Stuarts Draft Middle School and to Rockbridge County Special Ed Committee. Hoofbeats provided over 1000 hours of riding and horsemanship instruction to 60 children and adults through our riding and day camp program. Hoofbeats finished its application to become a NARHA accredited operating center. A group of 6 disabled and nondisabled riders formed the" Li'l Hoofer Drill Team", and performed their first synchronized public ride to music at the VA Horse Festival. Hoofbeats hosted 2 Family Cancer Day Camps with a Native American theme in the Spring and an Appalachian theme in the Fall, and a Halloween Carnival Day Camp for ARC of Rockbridge. As fundraisers, Hoofbeats held another Barn Dance/ BBQ, manned a booth at the Hillsville Flea Market, and were the featured charity at a Ladies Sporting Clays Shoot. Presentations or barn tours were given to Stuarts Draft Middle School, Natural Bridge Ruritan Club, Rockbridge Co. We survived the blizzards of 96 with only one bad experience of chasing frisky, escaping horses down snow-covered roads. Hoofbeats was notified early in 96 that it passed its NARHA accreditation process with flying colors. Trish Rogers, Program Director, was elected Secretary of TRAV. Our number of riders grew to 20 disabled and 10 nondisabled clients, who competed in 2 in-house horse shows and the TRAV show. The performance of Hoofbeats riders at the TRAV Show won reserve high point center for VA! 5 riders competed in the Rockbridge Hunt Pony Club Dressage Challenge at Stone Tavern Stables. Hoofbeats held 2 Family Cancer Camps, sponsored by the American Cancer Society( ACS)- with a Native American theme in the Spring and a Medieval/ Renaissance theme in the Fall. Vecellio's honor; proceeds from this fund will go toward special purchases or performances for Hoofbeats Children's Cancer Camps. Hoofbeats was approved to offer courses for Girl Scout horsemanship merit badges-over 30 young ladies learned about horsemanship at Hoofbeats! Once again, we offered well over 1000 hours of therapeutic riding and horsemanship instruction during the year to a total of 80 riders, campers, and guests, plus we held our Barn dance/ BBQ Fundraiser, and did numerous presentations and booths. old Saddlebred gelding," Bebe King" won NARHA Region 3 Therapy Horse of the Year( the best therapy horse from the Virginias and Carolinas), and was featured in the Lexington News-Gazette, the NARHA Newsletter, and Heads Up!( the VA American Saddledbred Association newsletter). Trish and Carol attended the 1996 NARHA Annual Meeting in Orlando, FL, to receive Bebe's award( a cooler, gift certificate for 1000 lbs. Gary Rogers, Hoofbeats President and geotechnical engineer, designed and supervised some improvements for the riding arena, including new drainage and the installation of new Perma-Flex( recycled rubber) footing., in April-- a joint effort between Hoofbeats and Natural Bridge Elementary School( funded by United Way, the Gadsden Endowment, and the VA Horse Council). This is a two-year pilot study to determine if the incorporation of therapeutic riding in to the curriculum of 10 special education students has a positive effect on the students educational progress, physical and mental development, and attitude. Carol Branscome and the students Special Education Instructors, Ashley Rhodenizer and Carolyn Mace, will consult on riding lesson plans which will incorporate skills and problems that the children are working on in the classroom. The study is progressing well; the children had 8 lessons through the Spring 97 session, and 12 lessons in Fall 97. Most of the students competed very successfully in the 2 Hoofbeats In-House Horse Shows and in the TRAV Show. students and some other new clients, Hoofbeats rider rolls have increased to 42 disabled riders and 12 able-bodied individuals. Our Spring Family cancer camp was held on May 3rd, with a cowboy theme, complete with ropers, barrel racers, a" bandit" and a" posse", a blacksmith demonstration, saloon-style games, a mule demonstration, cowboy poetry and music, and a re-enactment and artillery demo by the 2nd VA Cavalry Unit. The Fall Cancer Camp had a" Circus Safari" theme for the Fall Cancer Camp, complete with a falconry demonstration, petting zoo, wildlife demo, and a" safari", and drew our largest crowd to date. Hoofbeats also hosted another 2 day camps for ARC of Rockbridge, a day camp ride in August and a Halloween Carnival in October. Both of these events received rave reviews from the participants, despite some uncooperative weather. During 1997, Hoofbeats manned booths at the VA Horse Festival, hosted a successful Barn Dance/ BBQ, held barn tours for Beth-horn Pre-School and Roanoke Valley Gifted Program, and held 3 Girl Scout training sessions. For the first time, Hoofbeats hosted a VERY successful Open Horse Show, specifically designed for beginner riders and/ or green horses in different riding disciplines. This show attracted over 75 entries, and was a FUN SHOW for everyone involved!. Several acres of pasture were planted in orchard grass in Fall 97, and by May 98 the fields were green and beautiful! With 3 successful cuttings, there were more than 3000 bales of lovely orchard grass hay in the barn. In April, 4 independent riders( 3 disabled, one able-bodied) performed a precision ride to music(" ABC" by the Jackson 5) during the Virginia Horse Festival. Spring 98 was the last semester for our original group of Project ASTRIDE participants, the educational program with Natural Bridge Elementary School special ed students. We witnessed amazing progress in the riding abilities, independence, and self-confidence of these young riders, and their teachers and parents were pleased with the results. A written study will be prepared during the winter of 99, but NBES is supporting our efforts to continue Project ASTRIDE with another group of students in Fall 98. Activities included horseback riding, demonstrations on" Phun with Physics", Naval Communications, the World of Insects, Medieval catapults, a planetarium, a team-oriented" Voyage of Discovery", and a carnival. Our spring horse show on June 6 was a big success, with more than 27 entries competing in equitation, games, dressage, and jumping classes. Many other days in 1998 were filled with barn tours for the local Montessori School, Kids Castle Day Care, RCHS Equine Club, Beth Horn Pre-School, and horsemanship merit badge training for Girl Scouts and Brownies. Carol, our Head Instructor competed in several Lower Level tests at Rivers Bend Dressage Show in June on" Macnamara" and" Bimmer" and brought home two firsts and a second place ribbon, with one score of over 70%! Congratulations, Carol! Under Carol's supervision, Maria Pennine, our Barn Manager is teaching some therapeutic riding lessons and preparing to take the NARHA Registered Therapeutic Riding Instructor's exam. Hoofbeats looks forward to having Maria act as Assistant Therapeutic Riding Instructor next year. Fall of 1998 was busy with 2 day camps for ARC of Rockbridge, a" fun ride" in August and a Halloween Carnival, attended by 16 and 26 campers, respectively; another VERY successful Giddy Up n Go Fun Show on Labor Day weekend that raised over$ 4000 for Hoofbeats; and a Fall Cancer Camp with a" Horseplay" theme. The cancer camp featured a demonstration by the Rockbridge Hunt Club, a reiner and barrel racer, the" Mule Man", miniature horses, and a farrier demonstration. Hoofbeats competed in the Fall TRAV Show at the VA Horse Center in October, and our riders helped us to take home the High Point Riding Center trophy. Ashlyn Myers won the Independent Rider Championship; all of our riders brought home scores of ribbons& trophies; and Hughie was named top Therapy Horse. The barn stayed open through part of December due to mild weather conditions; everyone knew that they would miss their 4-legged friends too much during January and February!. We thank everyone who offered us their lovely horses, but as we have said in the past, it takes a VERY special animal to be a therapeutic riding horse, and our criteria are very strict. The end results are that there are many new( and hopefully permanent) faces around the barn-Ike, Licorice, Monty, and Caboose, and two wonderful" loaner" ponies-Freckles and Sunshine. Hoofbeats hosted 2 more successful family cancer camps, sponsored in part by the American Cancer Society, with a Medieval theme in the spring, and a Countdown 2000-Holiday theme in the fall. Hoofbeats hosted another morning of horseback riding, sandcastle-building, and water balloon volleyball for ARC of Rockbridge in August, and a Halloween Carnival on Oct. The Hoofbeats in-house horse show was the biggest ever, with 43 riders participating in 16 classes. Our riders rose to the occasion and brought home alot of ribbons and trophies, and Elizabeth Shields won the Independent Rider Championship. This show also had Paralympic Qualifier classes for the Sydney 2000 Paralympic, so we all were inspired by these talented and very-hard-working disabled equestrians. Our own Angela Hope participated in a clinic with the Paralympic equestrian coach, Louis Plagge. Angela Hope won the Independent Rider Championship and Kirk Bumstead won the Division 1 Championship. 21, and was another successful fundraiser, netting over$ 3900 for Hoofbeats in sponorships and entry fees. Ryan Turpin was awarded a grant in June for$ 2000 to cover extra private riding lessons, some additional adaptive equipment, and show clothes by Make-A-Wish Foundation of Richmond. Hoofbeats was also awarded a$ 5000 grant from the HUT Foundation to fund another year of Project ASTRIDE-our ongoing program with Natural Bridge Elementary School for special education students. Hoofbeats was chosen by the new Applebee's restaurant in Lexington to receive all the proceeds from their grand opening-almost$ 1400! And Hoofbeats and Domino's Pizza-Lexington joined forces to have another successful doughraiser in October, bringing in close to$ 1200! And we got a big surprise donation from Saddlery Liquidators in Haymarket, VA in late November of thousands of dollars worth of new equestrian clothing and some horse supplies! Hoofbeats was able to fill its" loaner" closet of show clothes with lovely jackets, shirts, and breeches, and get several sheets and lightweight blankets for our program horses, and have a bunch left over for tack sales, donations to other therapeutic centers, etc. 13, we held our Annual Membership Meeting/ Awards Ceremony/ Potluck Dinner at the Natural Bridge Fire Dept. ( Thanks to NBVFD for the use of this lovely facility!) There were close to 100 people in attendance! Everyone applauded as John McDaniel received his much-deserved Volunteer of the Year Award, and his daughter, Ginger, received the Junior Volunteer of the Year Award. Carol presented the Evelyn Gardner Memorial Rider of the Year Award to Elizabeth Gorman; there were lots of tears and smiles all around the room! Congratulations to ALL of the award winners-Hoofbeats is grateful for all of their support, dedication, and hard work.

    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Combined Driving. Combined Driving. Driving Discipline Information.      C ombined driving is the ultimate challenge to the true horse lover and is patterned after the equestrian sport of 3-Day Eventing. The 3 different tests have been modified to conform to horse( s) in harness and carriage. The Training and Preliminary levels are to maintain the traditional styling of the sport of driving.      D riven Dressage is the portion designed to encourage drivers to train their horses in a logical progression. Suppleness and responsiveness are called for while driving the dressage test. The best dressage tests will show off the horse's even, rhythmic cadence, brilliant movement, and correct, accurate transitions.      T he Marathon portion of the Combined Driving Event is to test the fitness, and training program of the horse. There are five sections to a marathon- three trot sections separated by mandatory walks. After a short rest stop, it's off to a speed trot- a test of the horse's stamina and the driver's skill followed by another walk. After 10 minutes, each animal is checked again to determine if they have recuperated to an acceptable level. If the Vet determines that any particular animal is not fit enough to continue, he can eliminate that competitor right then. Ground crews work to cool the horses down and check over harness and carriages, while the driver/ navigator team takes a last look at their plan for Section E- a fast-trot cross country with challenging marathon obstacles which must be negotiated at speed. The competitors are allowed to walk the course, including Hazards, before the actual competition. Drivers spend months conditioning their horses for this test of strength and endurance, and this is where that work pays off.      F inally, they must prove they have recovered from the marathon and that they have the energy, skill and obedience as they come back for a demanding complicated test of precision and timing on the cones course. Preliminary drivers have 50 cm clearance, but advanced drivers negotiate the course set only 25 cm( or 10 inches) wider than their wheel track. After a Scurry, Awards are presented for the combined driving competition. Where to Next?

      Document Excerpt: Garland Farms Dressage- Gerhard Politz Clinic Report. BODY{ color: black; background: white; margin-right: 1in} A{ color: red} P{ font: 10pt Arial} BR{ font: 10pt Arial} Gerhard Politz Clinic Report by Katie Patton. Gerhard Politz Clinic Oct. We were able to follow Gerd's directions and got some really good results during our lessons. He was complimentary about Pikasso's willingness to go forward now because it had really been lacking before! He admonished us about the general lack of suppleness but gave us some very good exercises and insisted we be consistent in doing them. He also pointed out the locations of these positions depending upon what part of the arena you were riding your 20 meter circle. To improve Pikasso's suppleness, Gerd had us do a slow but methodical warm-up. Pikasso is still immature physically( improving though) and prefers to hold his back rigid and down and not use his abdominals to lift his back and really step through with his hind legs. To the right, Pikasso was resistant( bending right and engaging the right hind is difficult for him). He would try to resist the bend by swinging his haunches to the left, thereby straightening himself and becoming perpendicular to the rail( 90 degrees). Once he was really pushing with his hind legs and stretching to the bridle, I was able to let him chew the reins out of my hand without him rushing, falling on the forehand, or coming above the bit. I continued to flex him briefly and occasionally to keep him supple over his topline while stepping through energetically with his hindlegs. The auditors burst into spontaneous applause when Pikasso finally unlocked his body and started strutting his stuff. Gerd has an article in the November 1997 issue of Dressage and CT called" The Stretching Circle" that is really good. He also taught a symposium on exercises and schooling figures in our area October 18 and 19. I attended the symposium on Saturday and got some great ideas on different schooling figures I can ride outside of my lessons. Riding alone, I have a tendency to wander aimless around the arena and the various schooling figures will add structure and interest as well as supple my horse.

  • A Dressage Clinic with Kyra Kyrklund - http://www.horsemagazine.com/CLINIC/K/KYRKLUND_KYRA/kyra.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: A Dressage Clinic with Kyra Kyrklund. It was a gathering of the clan the like of which we have never seen before at the Statene Park Indoor. Kyra Kyrklund s dressage demonstration day and the visiting superstar did not let them down. From the obscurity of Finland, not known as one of the world's great equestrian nations, Kyra emerged to dazzle the world with one of the most thrilling dressage horses ever- the bouncing black ball of brilliance Matador. Unluckily for Kyra and Matador they burst upon the scene in the age of Rembrandt, and while the pair captured the Volvo World Cup for Freestyle in 1991, at the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm, the pair had to settle(!) for silver behind the exquisite Rembrandt. Sadly for the world of dressage, Matador was subsequently sold to the Japanese, and under his new rider the son of May Sherif has disappeared from the competition arena, seemingly for a new life as a breeding stallion. Kyra however is not one to sit back on past laurels, and produced a string of new horses up to International level, including the Russian Edinburg and the Swedish stallion, Amiral. The brown stallion is only four, and is looking a little startled to find his normally calm riding hall invaded by a couple of hundred strangers, but he is coping well. Sitting in the crowd is one of Australia's most accomplished Western trainers, Norma McTaggart, and Kyra's stop/ go tune-up would, I suspect, look fairly familiar to Norma. It's a bit reminiscent of the French dictum- Hand or Leg, never the two together, although Kyra confesses that she does later in the training session reach a stage where she is combining the two aids. Kyra's next demonstration was with a six year old Warmblood mare, and she had asked Mary Hanna to provide her with a subject that was a bit hot and spooky to show that her technique would work with a difficult horse- but in this case, the poor mare was really thoroughly freaked, not that this put Kyra off. The next horse Mary rode was a Medium level stallion, Solo and once more it was back to the same sweet warm in pattern, the stop go wake up routine, the neat little square, but this time, Kyra could use more sophisticated school figures to check her work. " I use the shoulder-in to check, if the horse doesn't bend or go forward in the shoulder-in, I go back to the earlier exercises. If you have a problem with pirouettes, you won't solve the problem by practising more and more pirouette work out what is wrong with the pirouette, analyse where the problem and go back and fix it. I think that was probably the most exciting message that came out of the Kyra Kyrklund clinic, the willingness work on the component parts of an exercise, to improve the whole- and the range of technique that comes with being one of the very best trainers in the world, like when the horse started to lose its bend to the inside in the canter half pass, Kyra put the horse into a renvers, so that the inside leg became the outside leg, and once the horse started listening to that leg, she went back into the half pass, this time with the bend. The Demonstration Day was a huge success, and over the week, Kyra worked with a numbcr of our top riders and horses- working tirelessly, explaining brilliantly, and demonstrating, always demonstrating, a refreshingly simple, clear and logical appproach to the art of making dressage horses.

  • dressage aids - http://rowestables.com/lesson/aids.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Aids Aids are the means by which the rider communicates the desired movement to the horse. There are six aids available to the rider, three natural and three artificial. The spur and whip are used to reinforce the rider's leg, and should be used with care and knowledge. All aids should be applied with the least amount of pressure necessary to obtain the desired response. Once the position for the movement has been obtained, it should not be lost by the lack of application of the diminished control. The rider's inside rein is used to slightly bend the horse's neck to indicate the direction of the bend. The outside rein is called the opposing rein, an indirect rein, It is used to oppose forward movement, support and limit flexion, and is the main turning rein. The rider's outside leg is used back behind the girth( approximately 4" behind the rider's inside leg) to limit the hindquarters from swinging to the outside to avoid bend. Remember any relaxtion of the aids is a reward to the horse, to keep the aids on strongly would be a bad mistake; it would produce a horse that was heavy and difficult to ride. The aids used for each movement will be covered in the session on each particular movement.

  • What is Dressage? - http://home.att.net/~dressur/newpage11.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Pronounced" dre-sazh", dressage is a system of skilled horsemanship whose aim is to teach a horse to be supple, relaxed, flexible, compliant, and obedient. It draws its foundation from the earliest link between rider and animal dating back from the time of the ancient Greeks. It is a proven, centuries-old, method of training horse and rider to achieve optimum performance together through the development of balance, strength, and communication. He should consistently move forward with vigorous impulsion, which in turn increases engagement of the hindquarters and lightens the forehand. The horse's muscles form a chain-- as the horse's hindquarters come farther under his body, his back will round and he will come into contact with the rider's hands through the reins. This chain forms the base of the horses power, balance, and responsiveness-- like a circulation of energy, with no block and ultimately no resistance. The rider continually encourages the horse to move forward through the use of his back and seat. The aids from the rider's legs go into the hind legs of the horse and then into the rider's hands where a steady, consistent contact with the reins is maintained for complete balance. Consistent, steady training by a rider who works toward the highest possible degree of finesse in his methods and techniques will reap the many rewards of correct basic training. Training should always correspond to the ability of the horse therefore it should increase.

  • Lateral Work in Dressage: A recipe for suppleness: bend and counter-bend - http://www.freerein.com/guide/lateralwork/counterbend.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Lateral Work in Dressage: A recipe for suppleness: bend and counter-bend. A RECIPE FOR SUPPLENESS. If you haven't read the introduction, please read it first. counter bend is a very effective, yet very simple, exercise for improving the suppleness and engagement of the hindquarters. While, for the most part, we ask the horse to bend so that his spine is following the arc of the circle on which he's travelling, it can be very useful to ask him to bend opposite( counter) the direction he's turning. What: A horse who is counter-bent is turning in one direction and bending in the other. Why: Counter bend introduces an important concept to the horse: that he doesn't always follow his nose. Additionally, counter bend increases the suppleness and carrying power of the hind legs, without requiring the horse to know lots of high-end dressage work. The classic aids for correcting a horse who travels with his haunches out is outside leg, behind the girth. In counter bend, however, the horse must carry his inside leg( remember our definitions of inside and outside) farther underneath him in order to perform the turn. When: Prerequisites for teaching the horse counter bend include stop, go and steer. How: It's best if you can introduce counter bend in an enclosed area, so that you can use the physical presence of the rail as a barrier. It's a habit that might not seem like much, but it will get you in trouble later in your horse's training, and will make almost all the lateral work very difficult to do. If you see that hand trying to cross the neck, give it a mental slap on the knuckles and imagine that your horse's bit doesn't have any rings, and that the only thing keeping the bit in the horse's mouth is the even pressure of your two reins. When you can ride a reasonable counter bend using the rail as a barrier, try riding a circle maintaining the counter bend. Once your horse understands the basic concept of counter bend one direction, try the other direction as well. Remember that, as with all suppling exercises, it's not how beautifully your horse performs the exercise that counts-- it's how well he does his regular work after the exercise. You can probably get through counter bend at walk and trot all in one training session. Counter bend at the canter is a much more sophisticated exercise and requires more initial strength from the horse. Be creative in figure-eights and changes through the circle, as well.

  • dressage Circles - http://www.rowestables.com/lesson/circle.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: dressage Circles. First the rider establishes position right or left, then uses her inside leg, inside seat bone and outside rein. The bend and flexion are maintained thoughout the entire circle, making the circle round. The circle starts when the shoulders of the rider are directly opposite to the letter( if riding in a dressage ring) and finishes with the rider's shoulders opposite to the letter. Circles are important because they increase engagement of the hindquarters of the horse, as well as improve the horses balance. To make a circle with the hindquarters of the horse swinging to the outside avoiding the bend defeats the purpose of the circle.

  • HOW TO WATCH A DRESSAGE SHOW - http://www.islandnet.com/~mueller/Dressage/HowTo.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: HOW TO WATCH A DRESSAGE SHOW. This guide on" HOW TO WATCH A DRESSAGE SHOW" was compiled in 1980 by the OTTAWA AREA DRESSAGE GROUP OF CADORA. Reproduction by other Dressage Groups, Show Committees and interested parties is encouraged; any proposed changes must be referred back to OADG before publication. These are graded according to the ability of the horse, and start with a group class, followed by sole performances at levels of increasing difficulty. Georges the first test published by the Federation d Equestre Internationale, the worldwide equestrian sports governing body. As a horse improves and gets higher scores over a period of time, he is promoted or upgraded and is required to compete at the next highest level. Rides are divided into movements( there 12 to 14 in the average Preliminary test). Each movement is marked separately, on a 0-10 scale, like figure skating or gymnastics. The tests from Basic I through to Medium 3 are written by the Dressage Advisory Committee of the Canadian Equestrian Federation; above Medium 3, by the FEI. The tests are made up of patterns and changes of pace which are performed at the various letters around the arena, and are symmetrical( the same movements are performed in each direction). The tests are not composed of" tricks" to be learned automatically; the object of dressage training is to develop the horse physically and mentally, in harmony with his own natural ways of moving and thinking, and these tests are" checkpoints" to display the level of balance, strength and obedience he has reached in his training. At informal( schooling) shows you may see riders wearing light coloured breeches, tweed or summer riding jackets, hunt caps and brown high boots. Arabs, Morgans, Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, European breeds and every possible mixture thereof have all competed successfully in the dressage ring. At the more advanced levels, horses and riders have usually begun to specialize in dressage competition as a separate discipline. The majority of Grand Prix horses in the world today are from the European" sport" breeds( Trakehner, Hanoverian, Holsteiner); this is perhaps because dressage is a newer sport in North America, and our breeding programs have not had as much time to produce suitable individuals for high-level dressage. However, this situation is rapidly changing, and there are already many North American Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses and other breeds represented at the higher levels. The horse should move forward rhythmically, with no impression of stiffness, discomfort or disobedience. There may be an information centre at the show you are attending; leave your name with the Show Secretary for further contact; show officials will be glad to answer your questions( perhaps not at the beginning or end of the day, when they will be rather hurried). The object of dressage is the harmonious development of the physique and ability of the horse. As a result it makes the horse calm, supple, loose and flexible, but also confident, attentive and keen, thus achieving perfect understanding with his rider-Federation d'Equestre international. Separate Junior classes are usually provided at the Preliminary/ Novice level, and the Group classes may also be divided. At this level, the horse must perform smoothly and obediently the simple patterns and transitions( changes of pace and direction) required. He must be" accepting the bit"- showing no resistance to the hands constant light contact with his mouth through the reins. At this stage, the horse's mental and physical development through training has just begun; but without correct Basic I work, further progress is impossible. Here the lengthened stride is introduced at the trot and canter, in preparation for the extended paces of the higher levels. Both lengthened stride and extension mean that the horse takes longer steps without increasing the tempo or speed of the gait; but in the extension, the hindquarters( which supply the driving force at all paces) are engaged and are carrying more of the horse's weight, with much more power, elevation, and buoyancy in the performance. The horse is expected to be" on the bit", or" on the aids"; this means in the condition of balance, suppleness and confidence, appropriate to the level of the test he is to perform, and ready and able to respond to any signal from his rider. In this level, more accuracy is demanded transitions must be made when the rider's shoulder is exactly at the letter indicated. The hindquarters must begin to engage to carry more of the horse's weight in preparation for the extension and collection of the Medium Division. Circles of 10 meters at the trot and 15 meters at the canter are performed, as well as simple changes of canter lead through the trot; turns on the forehand and transitions from the trot to halt also demonstrate the increased obedience, strength and ability of the horse. While Basic level work is a necessary part of the training of every saddle horse, whatever its destination in life, most horses you will see in the Medium levels will probably be involved in dressage competition as an end in itself. Now the spectator will say," That looks like a dressage horse", there will be a difference in the outline and muscling of the horse and an increased lightness, power and beauty in his way of going. If the basic training has been correct, this" medium frame" results from the establishment of collection; the driving power of the hindquarters is now fully available to the horse and fully under the direction of the rider. This results in lightness and mobility of the forehand, which looks more elevated in contrast to the lowered hindquarters. The horse is expected to show all the variations within each gait: working, collected( shorter, higher steps, with the forehand very elevated and the hindquarters fully engaged), extended; and medium(" round" and less ground-covering than the extended pace). For the first time, the horse must perform the rein-back, counter-canter( cantering on the left lead for instance, while moving to the right), simple changes of the canter lead through the walk, and half-pirouette at the walk( the forehand moves in half-circle around the haunches which act as a pivot). Now increased mental and physical demand are made on the horse( and rider), leading to the ultimate test of artistic equitation, the Olympic Grand Prix de Dressage. " Tempo changes"( flying changes of lead in sequence after a specified number of strides) are begun. : Here the full pirouette and flying changes of lead every two strides are required. This guide on" HOW TO WATCH A DRESSAGE SHOW" was compiled in 1980 by the OTTAWA AREA DRESSAGE GROUP OF CADORA. Reproduction by other Dressage Groups, Show Committees ad interested parties is encouraged; any proposed changes must be referred back to OADG before publication.

  • Bend and Central Oregon | Neighborhoods and Real Estate | 1st Edition - http://www.insiders.com/bend/main-realestate2.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Bend and Central Oregon| Neighborhoods and Real Estate| 1st Edition. The City of Bend has about 30, 000 residents, making it the largest Oregon city east of the Cascades. As such it has attracted many new businesses to fuel a real estate boom that started in the mid-'80s and continues to this day. New homes and new subdivisions are started monthly, and there is a strong" move-up" market( with folks moving to more expensive addresses) in existing homes as well. We'll start with close-in neighborhoods-- those nearest to downtown. They were called" lunchbox" houses because they were made of scraps of wood( jokingly described as so small the workers smuggled them home in their lunch boxes. The smaller houses in close-in Northwest and Northeast would be considered starter homes. Just a bit farther out in Northeast is an area of newer subdivisions such as SunPointe, Tamarack and Wishing Well. Jump south of this area, and you find a similar situation with 20-year-old subdivisions such as Desertwoods and Nottingham( with the Robin Hood street names), also in starter-home price ranges. The contemporary houses next to the River's Edge Golf Course, also in Northwest Bend behind the Riverhouse Resort, run from$ 150, 000 to$ 250, 000. All of the golf course developments have beautiful landscaping, curving paved roads with cul-de-sacs, mature ponderosa pine trees, custom outdoor lighting and heavy-duty" covenants, conditions and restrictions"( known from here on out as CC& Rs) that result in lookalike houses. In Southwest Bend, prestigious Broken Top is a beautiful, gated golf community featuring upscale townhomes and large houses built since 1992. Half-acre homesites are still available for$ 70, 000 on up depending on proximity to the fairways and views( and some sites are larger). Slightly more expensive($ 150, 000 to$ 400, 000) are the Southeast Bend homes at Woodside Ranch, Sundance and Conestoga Hills, all off of Knott Road. This is a beautiful area of juniper trees and sagebrush, and homes should be built with fire-resistant roofs and landscaping. East of Tekampe, along Rickard and Billadeau roads, are English and dressage ranches. Note that many of the small-acreage developments allow horses, but if this is important to you, you should double-check zoning restrictions. Properties move so quickly that buyers interested in Tumalo should work with a Realtor who specializes in this region. Did you ever have a Realtor who offered to go with you to your bank and help you get financing? The office's agents can help with financial qualifications and credit issues or by showing clients how to acquire a loan in the future if they don't qualify now. Bend Real Estate has a commercial and investment specialist. Woodcrest and Mason Estates in northeast Bend are two small residential subdivisions represented exclusively by Bend Real Estate. Owner/ broker Cleme Rinehart started Century 21 High Crest Realtors from scratch in 1985. The firm services all of Central Oregon, with the majority of its listings in Bend. The full-service agency covers standard residential properties, residential parcels with acreage and commercial properties, and there is a farm/ ranch specialist. The property management division,( 541) 389-4149, handles long-term rentals of apartments and houses. One of the highest sales volume offices in Central Oregon, Morris Realty has been around since 1969. The 34 full-time sales associates and associate brokers handle residential and commercial listings in Bend, Powell Butte and Alfalfa. Drop by Monday through Friday, or call for a Sunday appointment. In June 1998 exclusive sales of homesites offered by the developer, Broken Top, at the gated Broken Top community were taken over by this satellite office of Cushman& Co.

  • Dressage at ROMRA: Classical Answers to Contemporary Questions - http://www.dressage-at-romra.com/classical_riding/dressage_principles.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Dressage at ROMRA: Classical Answers to Contemporary Questions. Classical Answers. Contemporary Questions. ANSWER: Given the privilege and pleasure of observing some Olympic competitors like the late Reiner Klimke, it is readily apparent that the understanding and uncompromising application of classical riding principles can lead to top success in international competition. Classical Dressage can only be recognized as such when both horse and rider display pleasure when performing. This exhibition is always accompanied by lightness and elegance. Great riding masters throughout time have been much admired for the willing and obedient submission of their horses. Sadly, nowadays ambitious people stress and overwhelm their horses by trying to force them to work beyond their capabilities and comfort levels under tense conditions. Somewhere, the impatience and ego of the rider/ trainer has taken away the elegance that is necessary to compete at international levels. Misunderstood and unrecognized by novice judges and uninformed people, harsher methods are being employed to force the horse to yield under pressure. Those who have mistakenly labeled this faulty and unfair procedure as" training for competition" have not truly understood what the competition is about. ANSWER: False bend usually occurs when the rider is unaware of the" hollow" and" stiff" side of the horse( which is naturally present in ALL horses). It is brought about by a misalignment of vertebrae; typically when the rider pulls too hard on the reins, causing the horse's neck to be crooked and lose its" telescoping" quality. Usually, it is evidenced by the" popping"( bulging) of a vertebra out of the smooth line of the neck when positioning to one side, but not when positioning to the other side. It presents itself as crookedness in the neck already, so that escaping from a straight line or desired curve is possible. The" popping out" of the misaligned vertebra is to be avoided- even if it means that at times, the horse is positioned incorrectly. I t is important to realize that only CLASSICAL RIDING PRINCIPLES( no helping reins should be employed)- and riding the horse as powerfully forward as possible will remedy the problem.

  • Dressage term - http://www.facethemusic.org/glossary.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Below are a number of judging terms that you might see in the comments area of a dressage test you receive during competition. They are taken from the Glossary of terms booklet supplied to competitors from the USDF United States Dressage Federation. The definitions are my interpretation, but run in close connection with the USDF definition. Again, they are written as I interperet them, should you want an exact copy of the booklet contact the USDF using the link provided here. ACCEPTANCE: This term is used to refer to the horses willingness to perform its movements in a non-resistant manner. AGAINST THE BIT: AGAINST the bit means the horse is resisting by pushing his mouth against the bit. BALANCE: BALANCE is the distribution of the weight of the horse and rider upon the fore and hind legs( longitudinal balance), and the left and right legs( lateral balance). BASICS: The BASICS are the foundation of dressage. The are the progressive training methods, the specific test movements performed independently. These improvements should be in the quality of the gaits and paces, the muscle structure of the horse, the horses gymnastic ability, and in the horse's attitude and willingness. BEAT: The BEAT is the count or rhythm of a single footfall or a combination of a pair of hooves moving at the same time. BEHIND the VERTICAL: Vertical is an imaginery line drawn straight down from the horses eye. Webster's dictionary defines biomechanics as: The application of the principles and techniques of mechanics( the branch of physics that deals with the motion of material bodies, and the phenomena of the action of forces on bodies) to the structure, function, and capabilities of living organisms. BLOCKED: This is when a horse is in some way impaired from connecting with the bit due to muscular contraction, creating rigidity in the horse. BROKEN NECKLINE: This term is applied to the position of the neck.

The thoughtful, sincere notes of support that we have received already. As of Jan 10, 1999, there is no organization of citizen's in New Bedford, Ashley's home town, that is dedicated to the commemorative stamp project. Without a hometown organization and funding, the prospects of getting the US Postal Service to issue a stamp are probably nil. Interested New Bedfordians should please contact me ASAP. Day named ABOK# 1452" Ashley's Bend" in his book," The Art of Knotting and Splicing," Dodd, Mead and Co." is followed by generous comment about its security and non-jamming virtues. Ashley references Day's 1935 monograph," Sailors Knots" and Day acknowledges Ashley's help with this 1947 closing comment:" This last( the ABOK) will always remain, I feel sure, the definitive encyclopedia of knots, for unlike most knot-books it is based on actual usage and does not rely uncritically on previous authorities. After all, Ashley chose# 1452 himself to lead the security list( mysteriously placed under a non-knot description on page 273 ABOK). In addition, Day's book is copyrighted by the United States Naval Institute of Annapolis, Maryland and, more poignently, Day wrote his preface just days before Ashley's expected death( 50 years ago on Sept 19, 1997). In my opinion the ABOK is a work of art, written and illustrated by an artist. Even if Ashley intended it to be an encyclopedia, which he clearly did not, I strongly object to posthumous revisions of his( or any author's) work. I do not object to corrections( what drawer of knots has not crossed over?), but the insertion of the Hunter's Bend within the body of the book strikes me as inappropriate. If the publisher has a compelling commercial need for including new information, seems to me it should be placed in the Preface. Al Trout and I now go armed with a glowing letter of endorsement from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, expert-peer recognition by Prof. Cyrus Day, authority of the United States Naval Institute and enthusiastic support of the International Guild of Knot Tyers!

  • SportMorgan Profile- Big Bend Doc Davis - http://www.eqwi.com/SportMorgan/davyprofile.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: SportMorgan Profile Big Bend Doc Davis. THE FIRST MORGAN TO COMPETE AT GRAND PRIX LEVEL DRESSAGE!. Davey at age 21 at the" Grand Old Champions" Exhibition at the NEMHS in 1996. Her mother had a half-Morgan mare by Canfield, and like thousands of other children, Mona learned to ride on the family mare. She competed in leadline on a horse borrowed from Bea Newhall at the National Morgan Show in Northampton, Massachusetts in 1962. The next year she rode another borrowed horse, this time Marcia Henry's Ebony Girl." Kay and Armand Sansoucy talked it over and decided to buy Green Mt Doc Bird, a handsome colt by Orcland Vigildon and out of Green Mt Darling. She could hardly wait to show her stallion in the Junior English Pleasure class at the Eastern National in Northampton. They competed in English, western, driving, and low-level dressage classes. And since stallions are not allowed in equitation classes, Mona was still riding borrowed equitation horses. In 1972 a groom names Joe Lopez was working for Connie Barton's Big Bend Farm, and absolutely fell in love with Doc Bird at the Connecticut Morgan Show. Barton bred Connie F to another stallion that year, and the results were not all she hoped. When he was two years old it was time to get serious, and Mona sent her young stallion to a neighboring farm that employed a young man just beginning to be noticed in the Morgan show world. She made arrangements to have Davey stabled near her college, so she could easily prepare him for the Massachusetts Morgan Show. However, Mona wanted to show off her new colt on Esther Bird's turf, and Massachusetts Morgan was down home to Esther Bird. He was a Grand Champion Stallion, Junior English Pleasure Champion and Junior Pleasure Driving Champion. It was more than the family could earn in a long time-even working together-and it must have been very tempting for the 21-year-old owner who could not sell her young stallion. The young college student began to ponder these things, and they troubled her through the winter months. She graduated from college that spring and made it through the show season, but the 1979 New England Morgan Horse Show was her last show with Davey. As it happened, Lee was going to show some of her many reels of film of European Grand Prix dressage horses at a Rhode Island Dressage Association meeting and invited Mona to come and see the film. Kay and Armand accompanied their daughter to the meeting which was held at the Kelly Stables, now the site of Johnson and Wales College in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. By fall, she had visited Lee a few times and had ridden Broadwall Jazztime, Lee's dressage horse, to get some idea of what dressage was supposed to feel like. Davey was accomplished at the trot and Mona believed his natural intelligence and athletic ability would help him figure out the canter." Lee was like a one-woman public address system, announcing Davey's breed. If the dressage world was a bit stiff and formal compared with the Morgan show world they knew, it also afforded some stellar opportunities. In 1980 there were precious few dressage masters in the United States. They had Morgans, and crossed their Morgan stallion with Thoroughbred mares to get the size everyone thought was imperative for dressage horses. Nevertheless they groped along, relying mostly on Davey's talent and doing their best with what Mona learned in quarterly clinics with Dr. The scribe faithfully recorded his comments, and between official comments the judge would mutter," Gee this is a nice looking little horse." Throughout the test he punctured his comments with the" cute little horse" refrain, as though he could not quite believe this smaller horse was delivering such a great performance. It was the beginning of a great romance between Davey and New England spectators." The" little Morgan" performed creditably, and Mona can still quote lines the Horseman's Yankee Peddler reporter wrote in praise of their performance and their meteoric rise in dressage. Davey was having trouble learning to do flying lead changes, and they could not move on to Fourth level until he mastered the changes. She was sure Davey's trouble came from her inability to ask for the changes correctly. Mona was working as a microbiologist at a local hospital, and the family scraped together enough money for her to have yet another humbling experience. " I realized the great strength it took to ride quietly and correctly and appear relaxed. At about this time Mona looked around her, and to her great surprise realized there were not many Morgans competing at the lower levels in dressage. Phil and Jennifer DuBois were among the Morgan dressage enthusiasts, and they were most welcome for Mona who had known them for years." Davey knew piaffe and he had just learned passage, but still could not do the one-tempe changes. Michael went to competitions and videotaped their performances. Mona and Davey continued to charm the audiences of the New England Morgan Horse Show, usually with outdoor performances on Friday and Saturday evenings. They clapped and the great stallion came on, rewarding their enthusiasm with breathtaking athletic beauty. As she rode to the gate for each of these performances, Mona heard the announcer saying Big Bend Doc Davis was the only American-bred horse on the grounds that day-the only horse actually foaled in the United States.Although he had rolled back the prejudice against the Morgan, Davey could not roll back time. He meant more to her than all the accolades and applause, and she made up her mind to retire him from competition. On October 28, 1990, Davey met the greatest challenge of his life. Then he came running to the gate with a panic-stricken expression that screamed," Help me! Help Me!" Mona soon realized he was colicking, and as the day wore on he got worse. Mona called her husband, who was working a 24-hour shift at a hospital in Gardner, Massachusetts. By 6: 00 that morning Davey was on the trailer with Armand at the wheel, heading for Tufts Equine Clinic. Patricia Provost knew she could not diagnose the problem until she had him opened up. A fatty tumor had wrapped around his intestines like a free-swinging icicle, shutting off circulation and killing a large section of the intestine." Mona went to visit Davey, and she took the videotape of their performance at the 1988 New England Morgan Horse Show." Students and veterinarians gathered to watch Davey's finest performance. Provost removed a section of the mesentery that had been damaged, but had not yet turned death blue in the earlier surgery. He spent the winter of 1990-1991 recovering in the leisure of his sugar-maple kingdom on the family farm. Publicity chairman Rodney Gould wanted New England to see Davey one more time, and in February of 1991 asked Mona to retire Davey at the New England Morgan Horse Show. Rodney was like a bulldog persisting and hanging onto his vision of Davey-one more time-in the ring at Northampton. When the New England weather softened, Mona began to ride Davey lightly and was surprised at how willing he was to reach into the inner greatness and bring it forth again. Maybe they couldn't do the intricate athletic dance they did in 1988, but surely they could to something to evoke the memories for the thousands who loved her stallion. Davey's final exhibition performance was on Friday evening, July 26, 1991. Show Manager Dayton Sumner made a quick decision to move evening classes to the indoor arena. They had not practiced their performance inside that arena and it was much smaller than the outdoor arena. The grounds were curiously quiet at 5: 15 that Friday, as exhibitors went to dinner or holed up in the barns getting ready for the evening performance. She re-choreographed the entire performance-scaling it down-in about 15 minutes. Davey piaffed as the opening bars of" Stars and Stripes Forever" filled the arena. The people began to clap in time as they moved forward into a passage, and the clapping continued in time for a full minute. These silences were punctuated with bursts of applause for the series changes, the extended trot, and the pirouette-all the movements that had captured the hearts of New England. One by one, his people came to the stallion: Kay Sansoucy, Michael's wife and son, John Bennett, farrier Dennis Daubney, and veterinarian Tom Butera. The ceremony was not without comedy, offered by the principal himself. When the announcer referred to the" cute little horse" syndrome they endured, Davey stretched his neck, raised his head, smiled broadly, and whinnied. He found several such opportunities to have the last laugh on those who thought a Morgan couldn't do it. Finally, AMHA President Phil DuBois went to Davey, carrying the blanket of flowers donated by one of Davey's admirers. When he laid the laurels across the stallion, a whole historic passage came to honor. His contribution to promoting the Morgan stands with the greatest horses of the centuries: Hales Green Mountain, Ethan Allen, Kennebec Count, and Kennebec Russell. As she watched the Morgan Horse Video Review of that 1991 exhibition performance, Mona remembered most her mentors and how much they had given in the short time they had to make a difference. Those persons who saw him in 1819 and 1820 describe his appearance as remarkably fresh and youthful. Now 18 years old, Davey is devoted to siring those few special individuals who will carry his blood into the next century as Bullrush, Woodbury, and Sherman carried forward the blood of their sire, Figure. A big thank you to Mona Gaudet, and to Sue Brander for letting us reprint her wonderful article on Davey. We will all miss him greatly and treasure the special memories of his time on this earth. So strong was this feeling that I checked on him several times throughout the evening and night. Around noon I noticed he stopped eating and I knew something had changed again. Since he had already had colic surgery 9 years previous, I would not even consider putting him through that again. The next morning I was sobbing as I prepared breakfast for my children. I have many wonderful memories to sustain me and I thank all of you who wrote me with your memories and impressions.

      Document Excerpt: Product Review. I'm having trouble staying put in my slippery new dressage saddle; especially at the sitting trot, when my feet come out of the stirrups, which are longer than I'm used to. Connie Micheletti. Second, you can reduce the slipperiness of your new saddle immediately by rubbing on a" no-slip ride" product, such as Sadl-tite( TM), which goes on like a stick deodorant. A heavy application of oil might make your saddle softer and easier to stick to today, but the leather will eventually turn stretchy and limp, which could shorten your saddle's life span by many years. ( Since my own saddle's are fourteen, nineteen, and twenty-four years old, I think I speak about long-term care with authority. ( If, by the way, your saddle leather seems dry and hard in spite of daily cleaning, an occasional treatment with a top-quality leather preservative, such as Obenauf's LP, will condition, restore and even waterproof it.

A small group of enthusiasts were concerned that the existing organisation covered the whole West Country and was, therefore, remote from those living in Cornwall and a decision was made to go it alone. Nearly five years, on the Cornwall Dressage Group has just over 200 members all of whom are very grateful for the foresight shown by the original few. Their idea involved them in much hard work which has now been rewarded by a full Cornwall-based programme for enthusiasts in this fast-growing equestrian discipline. Evening sessions are held throughout the year, centrally and indoors in winter and outdoors at dispersed venues in summer. Members Training Days are held approximately every six months where a training session is immediately followed by riding a test. These are videoed and discussed at an evening session by all those participating, including the Judge and Trainer. One of the highlights of the year is the Christmas Dressage to Music Party when members ride their music programmes, some comic and some serious for the rest of the membership and friends. The Group was responsible for organising one of the inaugural British Dressage Area Festivals in September 1999. This combined affiliated and unaffiliated classes and involved members in organising affiliated dressage for the first time. Members are dispersed throughout the whole of Cornwall and, inevitably some are miles away from our current dressage venues, so future plans include purchasing equipment to allow dressage arenas to be laid out for training and competition at a large number of more widely dispersed venues. Another aim is to continue providing the very best instructors and demonstrations available for our members and to promote the improved understanding between horse and rider which increases enjoyment of all equestrian disciplines.

AREA FESTIVAL 2000- British Dressage are holding Area Festivals again this year and have invited Cornwall Dressage Group to organise the South West Area Festival; your committee have accepted the invitation. Any of you who competed or spectated or helped at the September 1999 evening will know what a friendly and happy day this was. The combination of affiliated and unaffiliated competition blended well, so we hope you will all be there again at the 2000 Festival. The Festival date is September 3, venue Duchy College, once again we will be welcoming all volunteer helpers with open arms, please feel free to contact any member of the Committee with your offer of help. Isobel Wessels combined her monthly training trip to West Cornwall with an evening demonstration members eagerly anticipating the evening's theme of" How to Put it to Music"- Sally Stevenson reports:-" Anyone who has ridden to music will know what a great feeling this gives- like" dancing" with your horse- and also how much time and effort is needed to get it right!. " We watched three tests at Novice, Elementary and Medium levels which had been put together following Isobel's advice; some points to note being:- Keep your music for the three paces to a similar type- not dramatic changes, shoulder-in is best shown going towards the judges, medium canter can be on a 20m circle it does not have to be on the long side. " This evening must have inspired a lot of people to have a go, and if anyone is interested in receiving help please get in touch with any committee member, and if that member can't help they will know a member who can!". TROTT ON...FOR THE THIRD TIME KEEPING UP TO GOOD WORK- FEBRUARY 2000. Cornwall Dressage Group were privileged to welcome David Trott returning to Truro Equitation Centre at Callestick to give members training sessions. This was David's third training course for Cornwall Dressage Group and due to popular demand he was, this time, here for four days. The horses with which David worked varied from Preliminary to Advanced Medium level, but his clear, plain speaking instructions brought out the best in everyone. Riders were encouraged to make their horses backs looser, by getting the horse deeper and rounder, stretching the muscles from the tail to the ears. When stretched and not stiff then the rider can start to get the muscles shorter and develop the collection and self carriage. Working with the more advanced horses David built on this foundation to improve balance and develop the more difficult movements of the more advanced tests. David's unfailing kindness and consideration for the riders, and the improvement he was able to produce in their horses, made it a very good Training Course. Everyone is grateful for the kind hospitality the Fassenfelts give to our trainer. From start to finish the evening was refreshing and stimulating, the six star-turns creating a seasonal atmosphere with their individual displays, assisted with commentary from Gary Wood of Chenhale. The programme began with a demonstration from Catherine Wesson riding Bobcat and Mary Pocock riding Colours, both members of the Chiverton RDA Group. Young riders Karina Cope and Lianne Keymer then teamed-up to give a lovely display riding Tricky Dicky and Summer Fantasy Imp. 14-year-old Karina and 16-year-old Lianne are both members of the Four Burrow Pony Club team, and are trained for dressage by Cornwall Dressage Group member Judi Foster. The school was then lit up by Jackie Hall and her Welsh Cob champion Ben, both dressed in the glitter and glamour of Christmas. Ben is the current holder of the Noel Philp Dressage Trophy and is also the Native Pony Association Dressage Performance trophy winner. Tracy and Khusar qualified for the Novice Regional Finals this year and have also qualified for next year's Novice Regional Final. They were on the Threewaters RC dressage team which came second at Malvern, also finishing second individually. Topping the bill with an outstanding side-splitting comedy performance was Jill Philp and her nine-year-old 17.2hh Hanoverian Grantbourne Demon, who left many of the audience aching with laughter. Jill and Demon were certainly an act to remember, both of them putting on a performance worthy of an Oscar, and receiving rapturous applause for their appreciative audience. Although a serious and very successful competitor, Jill, who is currently competing at Advanced Medium level with Demon gaining their first point at Advanced level at the end of the summer season, brought an insight and sense of fun to their sport, which could only be displayed by such a competent and talented combination. Judi Foster and her ten-year-old Hanoverian gelding Antonio brought the evening's entertainment to a very elegant close. The combination have been together for six years and are competing at Advanced Medium level. Their greatest achievement this year was qualifying for the Wellington Riding Advanced Medium to Music National Championships. Antonio has already qualified for the year 2000 Medium Regional Championships and their lovely display at Chiverton brought the Dressage to Music part of the proceedings to a superb finale. After a good helping of mince pies and mulled wine the evening continued with dog racing organised by Neville Russon with thanks to Church Street Feeds who provided the prizes. For example, over-shooting the centre-line when entering, correct-shaped circles, looping in off the track. It was in the daytime of Monday and Tuesday that members could really see David's simple, clear and understandable approach to training. Sixteen members at different levels and with horses of all shapes, standards and sizes entertained spectators at Callestick. David Trott's willingness and enthusiasm to work with horses and riders of all standards was greatly appreciated. MARCH 1999- Mark Townsend the Your Horse Instructor of the Year 1997 lived up to his reputation as having an ability to communicate clearly with riders of all levels, having a natural flair for teaching and a real feeling for both horse and rider, at his clinics in Cornwall. Everyone fortunate enough to attend was satisfied with the results, with everyone given 100% regardless of their abilities. The evening demonstration included three local guinea pigs, Barbara Makin on Charlie, Jill Philp on Demon and Vanessa Jane on Brigadier. Mark had Barbara and Charlie in first and worked them as he would a pupil working towards their first competition, incorporating in this what the judges are looking for and how he works towards this. Jill Philp and Grantbourne Demon were the next guinea pigs, with Mark pointing out how important the basic way of going is at all times, and while Jill worked Grantbourne Demon in, this was compared to the Novice horse and how at this level the horse should be obedient but with expression. Mark then asked Jill to go through some flying changes and then half passes showing correct and incorrect ways. Vanessa Jane and Brigadier then worked in canter doing flying changes and the beginnings of canter pirouettes. MARCH 1999- David Trott, the List 1, Judge and Trainer came to Cornwall again to give a Regional Training Course for British Dressage at Duchy College, and also gave a day's training to Judges from all over the South West. After demonstrating the way of going at all levels from Preliminary to Medium the riders then performed actual dressage tests. David Trott expressed his opinion that the standard at both the Training Day and the Judges Training was as high as anywhere in the country. Guinea Pigs at the training were Jill Philp( Demon), Tracy Fassenfelt( Khusar), Sandra Fassenfelt( Matcho). APRIL 1999- Chartered Physiotherapist Ros Boisseau gave a lecture and demonstrative at Chiverton, on bone and muscle structure and saddle fitting. It was explained how the bone structure from the Axis right through to the Sacral vertebrae worked and had to be in alignment with all the tissues in between the discs being comfortable and now being crushed or damaged in any way for the horse to be able to work correctly. Ros found a slight problem with her demonstration horse and demonstrated how it was to be corrected, as well as demonstrating how the muscle could be helped by giving the horse some electrical pulse treatment. She then gave various reasons how the muscles in the horse are very often not muscled up evenly, and that one of the main reasons for a problem was the fit of the saddle. Ros demonstrated saddle fitting with the help of four saddles, explained different types of saddle used for different disciplines and what we would be looking for. SEPTEMBER 1999- The British Dressage Area Festival hosted by the Cornish Dressage Group. OCTOBER 1999- Mary Bromiley, the well-known Chartered Physiotherapist, gave an enlightening talk at the A.G.M. Members were treated to a fascinating talk explaining the musculature of the equine and how dressage in particularly is so demanding on our horses. She advised the benefits of getting back to nature by feeding your horse from the ground allowing his organs to work as intended as well as giving a natural stretch to all the muscles over his neck and across his back, as well as turning horses out as much as possible, particularly on undulating ground allowing them to use and develop all of his muscles unencumbered by our weight. Mary also emphasised how dressage is the most strenuous equine pursuit for horses to perform, requiring great musculature strength, as well as impairing the muscles ability to work. She also explained the importance of good breathing and how we restrict the airways when we ask the horse to bend and close the angle through his gullet. She also touched on some of the more serious and less serious injuries that can occur and stressed the importance of early treatment. Mary also reiterated the importance of good farriery and good dentistry, saying that any cost so incurred is always money well spent. * The CORNWALL DRESSAGE GROUP were invited by British Dressage to host the Regional Dressage Festival at Duchy College, Stoke Climsland, with a brief to organise an event which" was to be fun and as special as possible to each individual. In the Championship classes 46 entries rode 41 tests, only three at Prelim level but 17 Novice, 15 Elementary and six Medium, with classes divided into Open and Restricted sections. Ten of the tests were ridden by Cornwall Dressage Group members whose best results came in the Novice Championships. Cornish member Barbara Makin, who was also one of the stewards at the competition reports:" We decided that all our members, both affiliated and unaffiliated, should have an equal chance to enjoy something a little bit special. To this end many hours were spent working out different permutations of classes and I feel credit must be given to Helen Shepherd and Tracy Fassenfelt for arranging a schedule which contained something for everyone. " The day commenced at 8am in beautifully decorated arenas and our efforts were complemented by the care which riders had obviously taken to turn out their horses to a very high standard. " The speed with which the scores and results were posted on the boards was very much appreciated, as was the splendid commentary from Gary Wood for the Championship classes, mounted prize giving and lovely rosettes and sashes for the winners. Hosting such a high-profile festival takes an enormous amount of skill and organisation, and full credit must go to the Cornwall Dressage Group for handling the whole event with such flair and efficiency. Area Festival Results(* Cornish Members): Badminton Horse Feeds and Horse& Rider Magazine Preliminary Championship: Preliminary 1: 1. Sharon Brennan, Rapparee Reilly, 57.4%. Louise Warwick, Access Avanti 55.9%; 3. Deborah Randall, Blackford Christie 63.5%; 3.

Justin Shakerley from Lanteglos-by-Fowey made an excellent return to competition at the penultimate fixture of 1999 at Duchy College. Justin won the Novice 30 Open section with his talented chestnut gelding Le Pointe D'or who he successfully evented at intermediate level before breaking his leg in the summer of 1997. Melanie Hennah filled the breach for Justin by showjumping the gelding successfully throughout his lay-off including an impressive showing in the Grade C at Royal Cornwall Show this year. Le Pointe D'or is now for sale, coming from a hunting background prior to being purchased by Justin the gelding is an ultimate all-round schoolmaster.

  • Reschooling The Western Horse For Dressage - http://www.horse-previews.com/598articles/reschoolingwp.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Reschooling The Western Horse For Dressage. MAY 1998 BACK ISSUE. Part of Horse Previews Magazine website. With the rise in popularity of both dressage and the" Western" breeds, it's inevitable that some Western riders will catch the dressage bug. Perhaps you're one of those riders- or perhaps you're a confirmed dressage enthusiast whose mount didn't exactly grow up in a genteel white-polos-and-saddlepads environment. If your horse is more accustomed to jogging and loping, or turning on a dime and sliding to a stop, can he learn to half-halt and do leg-yields? The answer depends on the individual animal, says Lynn Palm Pittion-Rossillon, trainer and rider of the recently retired American Quarter Horse Association's two-time Superhorse, Rugged Lark. ( Our October 1997 issue" Salute"-ed the pair and described the dressage education on which Lynn built her training career. Horses who excel at certain of the Western disciplines simply aren't suitable for dressage. Indeed, many winning Western-pleasure horses are croup-high and withers-low- the exact opposite of the conformation that facilitates engagement and free shoulder movement for a light-on-the-forehand dressage frame. The good news is that a number of similarities exist between certain other Western disciplines and dressage. Probably the easiest Western horse to reschool for dressage is a skilled competitive-trail horse. A trail class includes maneuvers similar to those in a lower-level dressage test: turn on the forehand, turn on the haunches, controlled backing, lateral work, and exacting up and down transitions. Horses trained in Western riding, horsemanship, and reining are fairly adaptable to dressage, too. For example, the Western pivot, in which the horse pivots on his inside hind leg, changes to turn on the haunches in dressage- through the rider's inside leg directing him to stay" forward" while his hind feet continue to step around throughout the turn. After you've established that he understands and obeys these commands in hand- and respects your space- move to the next step: longeing and long-lining. And the most important concept you'll need to instill in your Western mount is" forward. You can teach him the various" go forward" commands using a combination of your voice and the unmounted driving aids, a longe whip, and the position of your body relative to his( stand so you form the apex of a triangle, with his head and hindquarters forming the other two points)- as you longe or longe-line him. I look for four things during the longeing and long-lining sessions: Is he coming over the top of his back? Is he tracking up? Is he willing to come into my hand? Is he moving forward with relaxation and elasticity? Relaxation is the key: After your horse starts to relax in the ground work, you can begin to build the idea of going forward. In reschooling a Western-trained horse for dressage, you'll have to retrain his response to the bit. Western horses are ridden in inhibiting bits: The Western curb acts on the roof and bars of the mouth, whereas an English snaffle bit acts on the corners of the mouth. Considering these things, and understanding that your horse's mouth is the most sensitive part of his body, I recommend using a type of bitless bridle called a sidepull, which works by applying leverage to the bridge of the nose when the reins are tightened. ( A sidepull is different from another type of bitless bridle, the hackamore, which acts on both the bridge of the nose and the chin. A Western horse that has been trained to keep his head down for everything will probably carry his head up when he's first freed of the confines of a Western bit. But as soon as he relaxes, his head and neck will come back down and he'll be willing and able to move forward, to carry himself in his natural frame according to his conformation, and eventually to work on the bit. After your horse has learned to relax, carry himself naturally, and go forward in the sidepull, you can introduce a simple snaffle bit. I don't go to the next step in the retraining process until I can answer yes to all the ground-work questions. It may take a few weeks, or it may take months, but I wait for the horse to tell me, by being consistently relaxed, obedient, and responsive to voice commands on the ground, that he's ready to move on to under-saddle work. After he's learned to balance with a rider at a walk, I move to a trot and then to a canter, lengthening and shortening his strides, all on a fairly loose rein. When I'm reschooling a Western horse, I teach this by gradually introducing leg, seat, and rein aids while decreasing my use of voice commands. For example, one horse I know of stopped in his tracks whenever his rider started to rise at the trot, because he was confused by her varying leg pressure and changing balance. Once he learned to respond to voice commands and understood that leg pressure accented with a light tap of the whip meant" move forward," though, he figured out that he should stay steady at the trot. You must be able to recognize when he is moving forward with good impulsion and balance; likewise, you can't help his balance unless your balance and form are correct. If you're lacking in any of these areas, educate yourself by seeking help from a knowledgeable dressage instructor( and don't hesitate to ask her for an honest assessment of your skill level), by reading books on dressage, and by watching instructional videotapes. I recommend working with an open-minded dressage trainer who has experience with all different breeds and types of horses. Besides being your" eye on the ground," she can help you formulate a training plan, set reachable goals, and document your progress. So if you have a Western-trained horse and a hankering to do dressage, go for it! In my opinion, not only is doing First or Second Level movements a fair and realistic goal for such a horse, but the whole process builds his longevity, and is great discipline for both horse and rider along the way. Her first book, on coping with travel-related family separations, was recently released by Crossway Books. Dressage& CT is published by Cowles Enthusiast Media, P.O. Of course, there's lots more in retraining the Western horse for dressage than we possibly can fit in one article. If you're serious about turning that sidepass into a leg-yield, mosey on down to your local tack shop( or pick up that equine catalogue) and get:. Dressage Principles for the Western Horse and Rider( video series) produced by Lynn Palm Pittion-Rossillon( for more information: 800-503-2824).

  • Dressage Training can help any horse - http://www.morgandressage.org/articles.dressagetraining.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Dressage Training can help any horse. Dressage training can help any horse and rider. But just what is dressage, and can it be used to enhance any horse and rider/ driver's performance?. The word" dressage" is derived from a French term for training, and describes a method of training, rather than just a single equestrian sport. Defined by the United States Dressage Federation as" classical training" because it uses gymnastic exercises-- a series of movements and figures-- which have been studied for centuries to develop the horse's physique and suppleness and improve his natural gaits, riders work upward through a training pyramid that includes mastery of six levels: suppleness, rhythm, acceptance of the bridle, impulsion, straightness and collection. The progression from one step to another is logical and achieved over a period of time, and each level builds on the achievements of the previous level. A manual developed by USDF explains the approach:" Dressage is not a quick fix approach to training, but a means for building a solid foundation which will cause the horse to be strong, supple and a pleasure to ride. " Examples of basic-level exercises include figures such as serpentines and circles, movements such as lateral exercises, and transitions such as trot to halt. As the horse and rider progresses, more difficult gymnastic exercises are introduced into the training program. As a result, the advanced horse becomes an athlete, developing strength, flexibility and the ability to perform colle cted and extended gaits with lightness and brilliance. Can these training principles be used by Morgan riders and drivers to improve their horses performance, regardless of discipline? According to four horsewomen who have found success with Morgans around the country, the answer is" Yes. For Mona Sancoucy Gaudet, a Massachusetts native who rode at the Eastern Nationals( now the New England Regional) when she was 3, dressage became her vehicle to achieve a rider's ultimate goal, to become one with the horse, in this case with her Morgan stallion, Big Bend Doc Davis. " When I began studying dressage in 1979, I learned everything from the ground up all over again; learning to really understand how the horse's body works, how the rider's body works, the mechanics of riding. Once you understand the mechanics you can take it to a whole new level where you can learn to ride from an increased degree of communication on a mental, almost spiritual level. You have the same kind of control and ability to express yourself. But dressage can help any horse-- park horse, reiner, hunter, trail horse-- correct work in dressage increases the horse's strength and flexibility and allows the rider to communicate. But while California rider-driver Ally Untiedt says she had been exposed to the basic movements, she didn't see the discipline's application until she started competing in combined driving with her gelding Seaswept Eclipse. It wasn't until she started learning about dressage from books, videos and lessons with dressage trainers-- and began using dressage exercises with Eclipse-- that she began to see a difference. Ally and her gelding worked on" lots and lots of 30 meter circles and serpentines, lots of changes in pace, from collected trot to extended and back again, all the time looking for the proper bend and good cadence and rhythm." Gradually, Eclipse became lighter to her aids, more responsive to her commands. When he achieved self-carriage I was able to move him out of a butterfly( a curb bit) back into a snaffle and have him be controllable even in the marathon and in hazards. Instead, this bay 8 year-old has won pleasure and combined driving classes throughout the Southwest. Their biggest championship came this summer at the Intermediate level in the California Classic Combined Driving Event. Lori Shoemake has ridden several Morgans to USDF All-Breeds Awards, and currently competes the 1998 All-Breeds Champion at Second Level, Statesmans Silhouette. As a Pony Club District Commissioner and Regional Examiner in Maryland, she uses dressage to help young riders pursue a variety of disciplines. The balanced dressage seat-- sitting in the saddle with a plumb line going straight down through the shoulder, hip and ankle, rather than having the rider perched on top of the saddle as if sitting in a chair-- is the antithesis of the" kick and pull" method of riding that she sees in many riders of all disciplines. " If a rider doesn't establish a balanced seat first, it's often very difficult to move back and forth between the various seats," she says. The finished product is what Jane Blue evaluates in her role as a veteran AHSA" R" judge. A rider and trainer who has coached or trained numerous World Champions at the Morgan Nationals and other breed shows, Jane says that many of the problems she sees in the show ring could be solved by giving both horses and humans a solid dressage foundation. Introduced to the discipline in the early 1960s by European riders working in Lexington, Kentucky, she had been a successful catch rider for dozens of trainers. " Dressage gave me a methodical approach to training that permitted me to improve every horse that I worked. By understanding dressage, a rider is better able to tailor a program to help that horse with their individual problems. She notes, for example, that the two biggest flaws she sees in the show ring can be addressed through basic dressage training:" the over-flexed, dumped over, heavy on the forehand horse and the horse with mystery gaits-- canters that aren't three beats, trots that aren't two beats, lateral, pacey walks." She attributes these problems to riders and trainers who look for a quick fix," a look" that is achieved by over-reliance on gadgets such as dumb jockeys, severe bits and draw reins. You've created a mouth that won't be responsive, a brain that will become dull and a horse that will seek to avoid discomfort by becoming tense and resistant," she says. " Dressage gives all riders a program that will allow them to achieve goals in an orderly fashion while building on a solid foundation of communication and strength. This article appeared in the November issue of The Morgan Horse, the official breed journal of the American Morgan Horse Association.

What appears beautiful and effortless to the audience is in fact an achievement in art and athleticism requiring years of development and dedication for both horse and rider. Dressage is performed in a 20 x 60 meter arena with a set of letters that designate where movements are to be executed; the letters also assist the rider in judging specific distances, such as the size of a circle. The small arena removes the letters R, S, V, and P, and is only 40 meters long, with 14 m between the letters, but maintaining the 6 m between the ends of the arena and the first letters. Dressage is trained and shown in specific levels which build on each other and which reflect the development of the skills and abilities of both the horse and rider. The tests ridden in shows are used as a measure of the correctness of the horse's( and rider's) schooling. Tests are prepared and distributed by the American Horse Shows Association, and are rewritten every few years. Gaits--the freedom and regularity of the horse's movement. Submission--the horse's attention and confidence, harmony with rider, lightness of movements, and acceptance of the bit. Following is a breakdown of the lower levels and what is expected for proper performance and proficiency at that level.) A riding whip, not to exceed 48" including the lash, and spurs are allowed and/ or required at all levels, though spurs are usually not used in Introductory level work; spurs are optional through Prix St George, but mandatory for Intermediaire and above. A snaffle bridle is used in the AHSA levels( Introductory through Fourth Level), and a double bridle is used in the International levels( Prix St George through Grand Prix). Emphasis is on beginning to develop correct bend, relaxing and submission, and the horse's understanding of basic rider aids. Movements required are Medium walk, Free walk, and Rising trot; all work is performed in straight lines, including the long diagonals, and on 20 m circles. The horse is expected to carry himself forward, showing acceptance of the bit and the rider's aids. Training Level( 3 tests)-- As stated by the AHSA:" The purpose of the Training Level Dressage Tests is to confirm that the horse's muscles are supple and loose, and that it moves freely forward in a clear and steady rhythm, accepting contact with the bit. First Level( 4 tests)-- As stated by the AHSA: The purpose of the First Level Dressage Tests is to confirm that the horse, in addition to the requirements of Training Level, has developed thrust( pushing power) and achieved a degree of balance and throughness. Canter work is on 15 m circles and straight lines, with lengthening also introduced at the canter.

    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Dressage instructors: Henrik& Ulla. Henrik Johansen is a Danish licensed bereiter and an authorized trainer of future riding instructors with more than 35 years experience. Currently he teaches regularly scheduled dressage clinics at national as well as international levels in many locations in Sweden, as well as in Denmark, Norway and the United States. His students ride and compete at all levels including International FEI competions in dressage as well as in combined training. She has 30 years experience and her students compete in Novice through FEI levels. I am Danish, an authorized riding instructor and for a period of thirteen years in charge of a riding school and educating future riding instructors in Denmark. Riders who educate horses to Grand Prix are often people who have the ability to simplify, who dare take a chance, who are stubborn but at the same time very hard working. It is difficult to teach riding because we are talking about individual sentiment. When we teach, we use words and examples; the words describe something you must feel, but feelings are difficult to express in words. 1) to continue forward, perhaps even increase the pace or 2) to move his centre of gravity further backward, which he is forced to do in order to accomplish the transition to a shorter pace. I am native of Stockholm, Sweden and currently reside on Bainbridge Island, Washington. My educational background includes attending Strömsholm in Sweden, the USDF National Dressage Instructor's Seminar( as one of ten participating instructors selected nationwide) and numerous other USDF instructors workshops and seminars, as well as many riding clinics in the United States and Europe. I have studied biology and horse production at University of California, Davis. My experience also includes 30 years of teaching and training dressage both at my home facility and at clinics throughout the Western United States. I have developed from the ground up and managed a dressage and combined training facility for 30 resident horses. Recently, I have been involved in developing and organizing a series of clinics for educating dressage instructors. On a day to day basis, I train and teach at Barnabee Farm as well conduct weekly and monthly clinics at several other locations in Washington state. It is quite a challenging task for the rider when he sets out to develop an athletic, supple, and obedient horse- this challenge should be fun, exciting, rewarding, and never turn into a battle or a fight. It is very important to understand that it takes time for both horse and rider to develop, and that there are no shortcuts in good education. This holds true for every rider and horse, whether the goal is to compete at Grand Prix, to be successful in combined training or jumping, or to train any horse to its fullest potential- no matter what its age, breed, size or way of going. Therefore, my goal in educating riders is to provide them with an improved understanding for the natural tendencies and instincts in the horse and how to use them to their advantage; to help them understand how to communicate with the horse in a positive and productive manner; as well as putting the riders into a position where they can begin to feel and understand how it should feel when a movement is ridden correctly, in the correct frame. It is also my goal to provide the rider with as many tools as possible, in the form of gymnastic exercises for the horse as well as theoretical knowledge.
