Art2Ride Associate Trainer Program: Elisabeth and Sarrazin Submission 1

23rd April

Art2Ride Associate Trainer Elisabeth discusses her ongoing training with her horse Sarrazin.

Notes from Elisabeth: A few words of context, I have been unable to ride for approx. 18 months and in the meantime have bought Sarrazin who is 8 y o. I have been working with him since last summer, so he has been working +/- 5 or 6 months, mainly on the lunge with very few ridden sessions as he isn’t ready for that as the video will show and a few sessions of WIH. I’m sorry for the English, I’m not super fluent. Also the video stops rather abruptly, I would have liked to add that I’ll be working from the ground with only a little bit of riding in between to check how it goes.

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.
