A fantastically detailed and uniquely organized dressage reference for the rider. Discover the what, the how, and–most importantly–the why of more than 100 dressage movements. Color photographs of riders of various levels and on different breeds of horse show how each movement should look when ridden correctly. Each movement is clearly defined. Explanations include common mistakes and how to avoid them. Readers find out the benefits of each exercise and how it contributes to the “bigger picture” of the dressage training scale. “This book appealed to me,” says gold-medal-winning Olympian Isabell Werth. “Especially important is the emphasis on the meaning of the individual dressage movements within the overall context of a horse’s training. Only the rider who understands why the movements are important and what their purposes are can build a dressage horse systematically. This applies to both the development of the horse's muscles and the development of his mind.” Throughout, emphasis is placed on the horse as an individual and how it is the rider's responsibility to learn to customize movements and lessons to benefit any horse, with his particular physical and psychological characteristics in mind. Practical and easy-to-follow, this valuable resource provides explanations in seconds that will last a lifetime of rides.

A collection of short, easy-to-read articles to help make the complexities of dressage easier to understand. HowToDressage.com has worked with a team of British Dressage judges and Grand Prix riders to outline the principles of dressage, illustrate correct training, and break down dressage movements. Learn how to: - Ride dressage movements - Avoid costly mistakes - Fix common problems - Improve your riding - Increase your scores - Move up the levels One size does not fit all When it comes to dressage, or any equestrian sport for that matter, there is no such thing as one size fits all. We all know that every horse is an individual; some can be described as ''hot horses'' whereas others have a far more laid-back attitude. For those reasons, not every horse can be ridden in the same ''text-book'' way. To make matters even more complex, there are very few riders who have the luxury of riding and training a horse from a completely blank canvas. Usually, we are having to battle against unwanted learned behaviors and bad habits that have resulted from previous poor training. That is why, within this book, we aim to not only outline the principles of dressage, illustrate correct training and break down basic dressage movements, but also help you to avoid costly mistakes and fix common problems that are frequently seen in the dressage arena. In a nutshell, we want to answer the questions that other dressage books do not. Build your own adventure Depending on the current training level of you and your horse, along with each of your individual strengths and weaknesses, how you use this book will be unique to you. Think of it as a ''build your own adventure'' and move through the contents linking together the articles that are the most useful to your current situation. Nothing in dressage in a quick fix - horses and riders do not get to Grand Prix overnight - so you''ll most likely find that articles which are not relevant to you today, may come in handy in the future as you and your horse improve and move through the levels. Where to start This book was not designed to be read from cover to cover (although you can do that if you prefer). As you glance your eyes over the contents of this book, you''ll notice that some articles will be more relevant to you than others, depending on where you and your horse are at in your dressage education. However, before you do anything else, we recommend that you read the whole of Section One: Dressage Theory (starting on page 5) as these articles will give you the foundations that will underpin all of your dressage training. Once you have read an article, you can tick it off in the contents to help keep track of your progress. Where did this book come from? In February 2018, we created a new dressage website. The idea was simple; we wanted to create short, easy-to-read articles to help make the complexities of dressage easier to understand. With most of the article titles beginning with the phrase ''How To'', it seemed only fitting to call the website HowToDressage.com. Shortly after launching, we were given the opportunity of publishing our best articles into a book. Needless to say, we took it. We hope that this is going to be the first of many in the How To Dressage Book Series. Example articles that are in the book - How to keep a consistent rein contact - How to ride sitting trot - How to ride a give and retake of the reins - How to ride a walk pirouette - How to ride a half-halt - How to stop your horse coming behind the vertical - How to encourage your horse to be more forward, but not faster - What is the difference between bend and flexion HowToDressage.com

Why is the seat of the rider so natural und yet so complicated? Why is it so easy to develop an incorrect seat position and influence on the horse but then so difficult to correct these problems? What is actually meant by a riders’s “fine feeling” and how can this be perceived and developed? The art of successful riding is the development of harmony to such a degree that, to the onlooker, horse and rider perform in total unity. The rider's key to this ideal is not a static seat but, one that is capable of adapting to all movements of the horse. The closer the seat follows the movement, the better it can influence that movement and remain in perfect balance with the horse. First published in 1993, Balance in Movement has long since become a classic in equestrian sports literature. This completely revised new edition has been supple¬ment by useful maxims, hints and exercise ideas as well as 200 new photos and drawings. It is in indispensable source of advice for all who would like to have a better understanding and command of the rider's seat, teachers and pupils alike.

The word dressage means training in French. Training makes a horse more balanced, supple, and responsive to his rider. But dressage is also a sport in which the accomplishments of the horse-and-rider team are judged according to certain standards. Dressage by the Letter addresses the needs of those riders who want to get started in the sport. It tells them how to select the right horse, choose an instructor, get the most out of lessons, maintain schedules, and prepare for the first show. This is a true beginner s book--one that assumes no prior knowledge of dressage. Moira C. Harris is the editor of Horse Illustrated, the largest all-breed magazine in the U.S. She lives in Huntington Beach, California, where she rides and shows lower level dressage

Over 40 floorplans and 190 dressage exercises (including pole exercises) Never get stuck riding around the edge of the arena again! All floorplans have both 20x40 and 20x60 diagrams Space to take notes and keep track of your progress Directives and tips sharing what judges are looking for Exercises to suit a variety of levels with space to modify and make your own THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS BOOK... When it comes to creating dressage floorplans, there's actually not that much you can do. Think about it; a dressage floorplan is no more than a series of straight lines and circles. That's it! The level of difficulty is increased by riding these straight lines and circles in different places, including transitions, and riding lateral exercises. But ultimately, when it comes to navigating your 20x40 or 20x60 arena, you will either be following a straight line or riding around a circle. Even when riding lateral exercises such as half-pass and leg-yield, you're still following a straight line. The only difference is that you are following the line in two or three tracks, rather than on one track only. So technically, we lied to you a little bit! This guide isn't a book of dressage exercises. It's really a book of dressage floorplans. BUT each floorplan can be modified to included different combinations of paces, transitions, and lateral work, giving you an almost infinite amount of dressage exercise combinations. We've created some of the exercises for you (over 190!), but there's also space for you to modify them and create your own. After working through this book, you'll never look at straight lines and circles in the same way again! Created by How To Dressage HowToDressage.com
