ABOUT THIS COURSE

Sometimes riders get caught in a spiral of louder aids and a less responsive horse. But stepping back and looking at the root causes can change that. British Olympian Richard Davison says that the whip isn't there to make the horse go forward. The training is.

In this course, he helps you approach each training session with a plan. You'll learn how everything from your warm-up to the way you use lateral work as gymnastics adds up to a horse that listens to light aids from your seat, legs, and reins.

Every ride should start with what Richard calls the suppling phase. This includes careful stretching at the walk and trot in light contact, as well as canter work to engage the sacroiliac joint. But the warm-up doesn't end there. Before moving on to the working phase, you will dedicate some time to specifically work on the response of your horse through transitions.

Find out how to use your aids in walk/trot and trot/canter transitions in a way that transforms your communication with your horse. Remember not to shock your horse with sudden aids. He stresses that dressage horses are just "normal" horses that need variety in their training as well as turnout time.

In this course you learn:
➡️ Structuring the training session logically
➡️ The intricacies of transitions and lateral work
➡️ Assessing a young horse for dressage and implications for training
➡️ Versatile training using trot poles, small jumps, and fitness canters
