This clinic series provides essential education on foundational dressage principles, progressing to practical exercises for in-hand work and riding. These sessions are designed to help your horse find improved suppleness, alignment, and stability, in order to develop proper postural and gymnastic muscles for riding. Winter is the ideal time to slow down and focus on foundational skills. Dressage is truly "for the horse," and the principles explored in this series will benefit every horse, regardless of discipline or tack.

Rhythm and Relaxation Classes: Rhythm is the foundation of the dressage training scale for a reason! Learn how to recognize rhythm in all three gaits, and in between movements. We will also discuss tempo and relaxation. The first ground class will help riders establish their own rhythm on the ground, so that their horses can begin to connect to the "rider's" rhythm. Both the ground and riding class will help your horse learn to take intentional forward steps with good posture and supple, elastic muscles.

In-Hand and In-Hand to Under Saddle Classes: The first in-hand class will take the rhythm and relaxation that was established in the first two class and connect it with more meaningful in-hand movements to help your horse find better posture and stability. Pole work will be incorporated both in the true in-hand work and then in the under saddle portion. The class will explore beneficial work like moving fluidly into and out of shoulder fore and shoulder in.
