I wish I could have seen this about two years ago when I started on this journey.
Not your average OTTB given another chance at a new life and a mostly average busy Mom who never gave up on her dream to ride again. An unlikely pair at an unlikely time, learning to event and loving life!

The D word. Not four letters but still makes me cringe.
I tell you, as soon as I finally start to like I get a grasp on this thing called dressage. That is when I realize how little I really know. It is like an onion with layers and layers. You can peel one away just to find another layer. Like onions, it too, can make me involuntarily start crying(kidding of course. Kind of).

yes, this is what classical dressage riders say until they are blue in the face!
ReplyDeleteLovely video - thanks for posting it. I'll be watching more of those for sure!
ReplyDeleteAs the trainer said, classical dressage was initially created to strengthen and increase the useful life of the horse by encouraging him to move with a rider as he would without one. It takes a long time and lots of dedication to achieve correct dressage work - but it's well worth the wait. :)
Awesome, informative video - so straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you for sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteloved the video!!
ReplyDeleteSome good reminders in here, thank you for sharing! The most important point of all: IT ALL TAKES TIME.
