    An excellent testament to this kind of work. Bravo to Russell for taking the time and having the patience to develop himself and his horse. Good things come to those who wait.

    Just watched video of Russell and JC submission 1. This is so very, very, inspiring. I’ve been bingeing on your videos for over a month now since my friend told me about them. I’ve started to see that a horse, when working in a state of relaxation, such as JC, is at its most beautiful.
    Hearing you talking about how there’s always horse people with their opinions who will try to tell you what to do is so true. Watching these videos gives me the confidence and clarity to relegate many ‘helpful’comments and keep on focusing on developing these basic principles.
    I’m a bit scared about being filmed, but am going to challenge myself to send in a video of myself and Josh in a month (or thereabouts. ) what an incredible facility!
    I just wanted to say a big, heartfelt ‘thank you’ for being willing to share your knowledge with anyone who is interested. This is surely the most educational equine resource i’ve ever come across. For us kiwi riders, so many miles away, a service such is this is invaluable.

    How do I even start? Where do I start? I have a soon to be 18 yr old arab. Would like to make sure he is moving and working correctly. History of occasionally bucking. Is there a place for me to start video wise to know what I should be doing on the ground and in the saddle to get him to stretch down correctly as he has a habit of being on the forhand

      First begin with the lunging because you can begin teaching him what aids you will be using when you ride and will be easier for him to engage the back without any weight on it. There are videos on the website covering this. When you feel that this is going well or having issues then send us a video and we can help you either take the next step forward or help with the current situation that you are in presently dealing with.

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.
