Will’s Web Club: Sustainable Dressage
Hi this is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and I am here with my good buddy Legolas. I wanted to refer you to a site that I recommend all of you look at. The website is: www.sustainabledressage.net .
This website is a wonderful work of love which someone has put together with devotion to correct training. The website is full of great articles explaining all the things that you see us discussing in our videos, such as getting a horse to work over it’s back, how all the muscles in the neck and back of the horse work together or not together. She also shows several examples of good and bad development.
Once again, the website is: www.sustainabledressage.net and I highly recommend you take a look at it. She is continually building the site up all the time. This is Will Faerber from Art2Ride and we will see you all next time here at Art2Ride!

Love your website and videos. I was also aware of sustainable dressage website. I have been watching your videos on the use of side reins. The question I have is the information on the sustainable dressage website seems to contradict your use of retraining the horse to stretch into the contact to correct the break in the neck. I am confused. I understand about making sure that they are loose, but I have the feeling she believes that the side reins inhibit true stretching. Could you please comment.

I too prefer to lunge without any side reins and do all the time with my horses that have learned to stretch but sometimes with horses that have been running around for years with their heads straight up in the air or constantly held in the bridle it is very advantageous to start retraining them with side reins and then get rid of them when you can.
