Classical Dressage Training
With many years of experience as both a rider and coach, and as a psychotherapist, I have developed a psychological approach to classical riding.
I look at the connection between you and your horse, both from a riding perspective, and the effects of what is going on in your head (and your horse’s)! Understanding how you both ‘tick’ is the route to making progress in training.
My training philosophy follows closely the Scales of Training, with classical school exercises focusing on accuracy, with lateral work being key to improving your riding at every level.
The goal is to be ‘as one’ with your horse, building trust, confidence and a sense of calm. Attention to detail is key, noticing how the smallest changes to your muscle tone, the timing of your aids, your intention, and focus affect your horse. Trusting that your horse understands you is crucial to developing confidence in each other.
