Dressage is a complicated sport that leaves many riders feeling as though they are going around in circles - quite literally! This course aims to fix that.
Starting at the very beginning, this course helps you to progress through the levels with simple and easy-to-understand presentations, breaking down the principles of dressage.
This course is designed for every horse and rider.
Dressage training will benefit all riders. Regardless of the discipline you choose to compete in, dressage should form your foundation.
It doesn't matter whether you have a just-backed youngster, an ex-racehorse that you are retraining, or an already established dressage horse.
You will learn what the dressage judges are looking for and how to train and ride all dressage movements correctly and consecutively.
Just one low payment will give you access to all the training videos and content within this course. No subscription or recurring payments required. Plus, if we add or update any videos, you'll get access to those too!
Here's what you can expect from our training videos.
We're not going to teach you how to ride a simple change until you can ride walk-canter and canter-walk. Each module builds on the one before helping you progress successfully through the levels.
Each lesson includes a downloadable and printable "fill-in-the-blanks" worksheet for you to complete and take additional notes as you follow along with the lesson.
Each video has been edited to include English closed captions along with chapter timestamps, helping you to find the information that you want.
There is a short, optional, multiple-choice quiz at the end of every lesson to test your new knowledge and understanding of the movement.
Many lessons also have a downloadable exercise sheet containing the key lesson points along with a selection of exercises that you can try at home.
We do not include recordings of other people having riding lessons. Instead, we use presentations and diagrams to give you a complete understanding of how and why to ride various movements.
Correct dressage training creates a clear communication channel between horse and rider, resulting in less mis-communication, less second-guessing, and less confusion.
This helps to build an harmonious partnership and gives both you and your horse more confidence and enjoyment in the ridden work.
