    Thank you so much for posting this clip! Wow! So educational in terms of what the horse AND the rider should look like! Absolute poetry! I am spreading the word about your site!

    Hey-
    Can you explain something on this video? Will says you can see clearly the ball rolling in front of the horse…what does this mean?

    Thanks,
    Sarah

      I mean, if you look at the whole body of the horse when it is working over it’s back, the outline that is, it looks like a round ball rolling over the ground, or a ball with legs you might say.

    I can’t find words to describe how happy i am to have found this site! i quit horses and dressage in 1998 because i didn’t agree with the way the sport developed. You (and Carl Hester) gave me hope for the future and got me back in the sport. Now i got a 19 year old warmblood and have begun to train her. We are very happy together.

    Beautiful comparison! I love that you point out that it’s not good for even a well trained horse to stay in collection for a whOle hour. I’m curious. On average, how long does it take for a horse to be worked in hand & lunged, before he is ready to ride.

From the Blog!

Join me as I post weekly blogs covering many topics relating to Classical Foundation Training. I have intentionally left out the word "dressage" because many people have a negative association with the prevalent "crank and spank" approach or that it is a sport for only those who are afraid to jump.

Dressage as it is meant to be is an understanding of how to best optimize a horse's movement and ability to carry a rider, surely a benefit for any horse, any discipline. It is also important in maintaining your horse's safety, soundness and sanity.
